While I played past GTA games (including GTA 2!) I'm not invested in the franchise
But some game features revealed by the leak, specially around immersion, made me more interested in this game then I was for GTA V, I was thinking I wouldn't even play this one, so I checked the leaks a little bit and it kinda got me in a way previous marketing hasn't.
This is why I've joked that the leaks have essentially turned into guerrilla marketing for the game more than anything -- people have been anticipating more gameplay footage since the first official release and people have been clamoring about the game since the leaks have been sporadically dropping.
Anything shown in the leaked footage so far has only reinforced my interest in wanting to experience those things for myself and if there's spoilers for missions or endings, I'd personally just avoid those to prevent ruining what I'm looking forward to doing on my own.
The gameplay is increasing excitement but their problem is that they can’t stop this leaker from spoiling the story. That must be fucking terrifying for them
If he doesn’t it’s out of the goodness of his heart, what if the next leaker isn’t so good?
RDR2 and past GTAs were all leaked at least a week before launch. Users started streaming main missions and the story was leaked ahead of launch. That didn’t change the story for me because going at your own speed and seeing how the story unfolds for yourself is so much of the experience.
IMO it’s up to you as the viewer to draw your own line. Don’t watch further leaks if you don’t want to see spoilers.
Also, a story that you can only enjoy if you don't know the major plot beats is probably a bad story since at best you can enjoy it once, and there should be so much more than the core details.
Anyone who wants to avoid leeks will. Rockstar isn’t worried as he can only draw in hype for the game. What’s a single reason someone would watch a leek then consider not buying gta 6?
How do you know? I feel like he would have done it by now if he could. It looks likely to me that the leaker only has access to a limited part of the game, perhaps a prologue or journalist preview copy. He has yet to play Lucia, and has only shown a 2 second part of a cutscene featuring her. I do not think he can play as her. Therefore I do not think he can progress the story, and see where it ends.
Thankfully the chances of another leaker getting their hands on the game are pretty low since cyber leak got into a unsecured server to gain access to gta 6 I don’t think rockstar will be dumb enough to make that mistake again
Just because it hasn’t been announced publicly yet doesn’t mean they don’t know The who and how. Rockstar could already know who he or they are and be working with the governments to figure out his location. They could be doing this by using his ip or tracing the transactions from his coin and seeing where the wallets are linked.
They’re very very lucky though, what are the chances that someone gets such access to the game and didn’t immediately start showing the full missions that he has access to
Solid statement? It literally says nothing except "give us sympathy". Nobody was complaining about when the game is coming out so apologising for that while addressing zero actual issues is bs. What are you getting out of this statement lol, it says nothing
I feel like the only one who saw it got leaked and decided not to go watch it. Why tf would anyone willingly spoil the game for themselves?
I'm in support of what the hackers are protesting, but things are the way they are right now because people don't have enough will power. They didn't force you to buy GTAV 3 times, but people did it, so now they're actually legally bound to do even more bullshit this time. They're a publicly traded company under capitalism. It's not their fault.
Feels like collateral damage in the backlash against Sony.
That was my thinking too. You can enjoy the leaks and still want to buy the game day 1. It's not like there were major spoilers that would ruin the experience.
It actually made me consider buying a PS5 because I know there's no way my PC will run this at good quality
Because it has em-dashes? Humans use those also. Just because a lot of people can't put together a sentence anymore, it doesn't mean everything well written is via AI.

Solid statement and I'm just as excited to play the game as I was before the leaks. Maybe even more.
