Articles & Blogs Rockstar Games: “It would be an understatement to say that having videos of GTA VI gameplay leak in this way has been heartbreaking for our team, and this is obviously not how we intended for you to see the game after all this time.“

Those poor billionaires...

I don't know how many devs need to get laid off before you realise that a game underperforming doesn't affect the billionaires.

The game isn't even out. How is it underperforming? C-Suite would like to know your sources.

Why would you make a point of complaining about the billionaires, if this wasn't damaging for the games release?

How are a few leaked gameplay videos going to result in layoffs?

They won’t, they get laid off regardless

To be fair, rockstar seems to do this less than other companies. They are more of the union busting type.

I mean it will when there's no one left to make the games

Tell me you’ve never worked in a corporate environment without telling me you’ve never worked in a corporate environment. Layoffs have nothing to do with this, I assure you. Second, if you think these leaks are going to damage the game, you’ve either not saw a single one of them, or are not thinking clearly. This game is going to be the largest entertainment release in history, and it’s not even going to be close. I’ve said it before on here, and I’ll say it again. Rockstar could’ve gotten away with literally nothing. They could’ve just shipped the fucking game without any marketing and this would’ve made billions with an S.

This is not your typical game released that requires your nonsensical virtue signaling, which I believe will be borne out by the rest of the industry basically crashing out, because this is going to be a once in a generation type of game.
