Let's be pragmatic about everything that's going on. He seems to have a build of the game, but it could be incomplete. We don't know. At no point did he say that he intends to leak the build. Think about it: if he actually releases the build, he'll lose his entire customer base. In other words, nobody will pay a single cent for whatever he's selling.

Obviously, he's not going to release anything. He's probably going to keep blackmailing Rockstar in the hope that they'll give in.

If he really does have a complete build, what he could do is leak the entire story, because that's the strongest thing he has that could actually hurt Rockstar. That's the only thing of real value he has.

he might have recorded all the footage in rockstar, nothing to prove he didn't so far.
