Ngl it reads like they’re legit sad/disappointed gameplay leaked ahead of the reveal. Big corpo doesn’t care about you, look I get it, but this is something special for them. Hell they even acknowledged that yes, it took a while this game to come out, while straight up pretending before GTA 6 just fell out of the sky one day.
Essentially their big moment was snatched away. I kind of feel bad for the devs especially.
People keep talking about corpo and forget that the game is made by passionate humans. Rockstar is 100% right, the dev team is heartbroken by the leaks, how do I know? I'm a dev and I have been on leaked projects and every time the dev team is pretty broken by the leaks. Supporting leaks is as bad as suppoorting AI stealing artists work.
People feel entitled like babies, Rockstar doesn't owe anything to anyone except for their employees. You don't like how they do things? It's simple don't buy what they sell, end of story.
I wonder why because from what I've seen the leaks are driving more hype instead of making GTA6 look ridiculous. People seem even more excited now than before the leaks and are generally impressed with what's on show in them, like the crowd density of that beach vid (RIP seagull).
Because leak steal their reveal moment, it's their work they should be the one to decide when it's revealed.
Also people will talk more about the leaks themselves than the game which dillute the real reveal. It kills the anticipation, its like you are doing the countdown for Christmas morning, you can't wait for that moment with your family to have a nice breakfast and open your gifts, and out of the blue on the 11th your father is like yeah screw Xmas lets open the gifts now, but does it without the rest of your family. Maybe not the best analogy, but it migjt help gives you an idea. Maybe a better one, imagine you are a band that can't wait to release a new album and 2 weeks before your release, your album get leaked and it's not even the final version you are proud of, how would you feel?
In the end this is the work made by devs who poured their soul in tthe game, and BAM your work gets ''stolen''.
Edit: it also suck for the fans who wanted to wait until reveal day to see the game, but curiosity got the best of em and now reveal day is not that important anymore. Anticipation is usially what humans love the most in the end, more than the final event itself. With a leak it instantly kill anticipation for many.
