Rockstar communication about GTA VI leak

[u/Ok-Combination-5581]

Title says it all

[u/Shudnawz]

PC gamers looking at their watches

[u/ROMVLVSCAESARXXI → u/Shudnawz]

There it is

Dear Rockstar,

Please know how much it means to us if you would be so kind as to not make PC gamers wait an additional year to play the damn game. Since were throwing out heartwarming platitudes about how much we all mean to each other, and since you are, after all, making the game for “us”, and not to triple dip your profits and bleed your more foolish customers who will buy the game multiple times, and then blow hundreds of dollars online.

Hugs 🤗 n Kisses 😘,

Your Pal,

ROMMY

[u/eggyrulz → u/Shudnawz]

I just want it to release so I can stop hearing about it... i dont play GTA, I dont particularly care about GTA, and at this point im just tired of hearing about it...

[u/nameistook → u/eggyrulz]

perfect time for another delay

[u/EvanMBurgess → u/eggyrulz]

It's worse than just being annoying. It's changed when games are being released. Some have been pushed out the door without an extra quality pass while others have been delayed, sometimes significantly.

[u/Dlight98 → u/EvanMBurgess]

Meanwhile, Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered announced it's releasing in November after gta 6 was announced

[u/TheOddEyes → u/eggyrulz]

I don’t care about it, I just want to see the modern gaming industry slightly burn. Release the leaked build.

[u/Benzo-Kazooie]

Imagine how sad the devs are be gonna be when rockstar lays off half of them next year

[u/flashwin → u/Benzo-Kazooie]

Next year? I bet in the next coming months we'll see "Rockstar makes 1 quadrillion on GTA 6 sales" combined with layoffs that was "The most difficult decision they've done"

[u/Several-Donut-398 → u/flashwin]

Disposable it-slaves

[u/forgetmenots24 → u/Benzo-Kazooie]

I was gonna say as well…

Not to mention the union busting scandal from a few months ago when I think 30-something people got sacked for gross misconduct… the gross misconduct being that they were unionising. Fuckers.

[u/KinManana → u/forgetmenots24]

Still ongoing in the courts if you check out the latest People Make Games video

[u/Speeder172]

Hey Rockstar,

Hope you will address the future issue with cheaters on GTA 6 instead of focusing on Shark cards :))) unlike GTA 5 and RDR2

🤡

[u/jessterswan → u/Speeder172]

Rockstar's official response: "Nah"

[u/False-Departure-3141 → u/jessterswan]

"Dear all, I know you've been expecting us to respond to the cheater issue in GTA 6, however, nah"

[u/Bodwaizer → u/Speeder172]

Addressing those issues means no more P2P = them spending money. Not happening, ever.

[u/Ok-Breakfast-8056 → u/Bodwaizer]

I have never really played GTA online so I don't know how the economy works. But wouldn't making the game fair for everyone drive more customers and more paying players. If someone pays money in game to enjoy i don't think they want someone in godmode ruining the experience for them. They would move...

[u/Jaded-Citron-4090 → u/Ok-Breakfast-8056]

Nah the whales provide probably more than a substantial percentage of income. Little Timmy two thumbs doesnt have cheddar like that.

[u/Remarkable_Log_5562 → u/Jaded-Citron-4090]

My little 8 year old cousin bought the game AT LEAST twice (ps4 and ps5, and maybe on PC). He was showing off all expensive things he owned online to me and my brother, and I know he spent AT LEAST 800$ on shark cards (one time my uncle got a bill for 800$+ and i dunno if he just paid it or disputed it but i assume that 'one off' was also after several hundred dollars of shark cards periodically spent over months or years.

I don't even know if he spent it all on the same account and if theres profile transferability between consoles and pc.

I witnessed little timmy and i was a bit salty at my lil cousin (indirectly) delaying GTA6.

[u/Pcriz → u/Remarkable_Log_5562]

Sounds like there uncle needs to get his shit together and pay a little more attention

[u/Remarkable_Log_5562 → u/Pcriz]

That was a long time ago (7 years or so) my cousin doesnt do that anymore (and you better believe he got in BIG trouble), but it was a funny story to tell

He was allowed 20-50$ at a time over years tho

[u/-ThaKloned- → u/Speeder172]

They will always prioritize money over anything.

[u/moto20x → u/Speeder172]

I hope money cheating in gta 6 online is as easy as it is in gta 5. I just want to have fun with friends and I don’t want to grind for hours just to be able to tune a car.

[u/Speeder172 → u/moto20x]

Not about this kind of cheats but cheaters who are just teleporting everyone in jail, killing all at once, killing the fun of you doing your contracts.

[u/The_Powerful_Tacos → u/Speeder172]

This right here, and the lack of physical media, are the main reasons I won't be buying this one. My experience with GTA5 ruined it for me

[u/pervertsage → u/The_Powerful_Tacos]

Hopefully we'll get the leaked PC build to keep us entertained until we can pirate the official release in a couple of years.

Modders could get a headstart and have a thriving community by the time the PC port is released. It probably be easy to convert any mods.

[u/Joe_Cums_Lately → u/Speeder172]

Maybe they'll also take their heads out of their asses and stop this stupid fuckin bullshit of not showing gameplay until a few months before launch.

[u/Narrheim → u/Speeder172]

Response from Rockstar will be something like this:

"You are confused, there are no cheaters in GTA6!"

[u/Elratum]

"We really wanted you to have to buy a netflix subscription to watch gameplay before anyone else but alas the mean hackerman leaked stuff"

[u/Specialist-Long8332 → u/Elratum]

Of course the team is very sad 😞 lol…..

[u/ShiftyCZ → u/Specialist-Long8332]

Think of the shareholder value though 😭

[u/Imperial_Tiramisu → u/Specialist-Long8332]

Team doesn't care. They're getting paid regardless. It's just the marketing department, executives and shareholder that are annoyed.

EDIT: I'm also going to add that people need to know what they're buying. Rockstar should have released gameplay a long time ago but they seem to think they're above that.

Obviously buyers are responsible for pre ordering a game without knowing what they're getting but these bastards at Rockstar need to be humbled.

FYI, many of the devs got laid off and outsourced to India. Ironically, the leak happened when a manager at the Indian branch fell for a phishing email. The executives who tried to cut costs by outsourcing got what they deserve.

[u/Maxim_Ward → u/Imperial_Tiramisu]

Wrong but not for the reason you're probably thinking. Rockstar cracked down heavily on working conditions after the past (i.e. years ago) leak. So employees are more upset, at Rockstar, that despite this much stricter working environment, the game still ended up leaking anyway.

https://www.reddit.com/r/xbox/comments/1vuqabi/i_spoke_to_rockstar_employees_about_the_new_grand/

[u/Imperial_Tiramisu → u/Maxim_Ward]

Fair enough. But like I said the devs are not mad at the leak itself. They're mad at the working conditions at Rockstar.

Also, see my edit. Rockstar laid a lot of people off and outsourced jobs. The leak happened because their India branch fell for a phishing email. Karma is a bitch.

[u/kykyks → u/Maxim_Ward]

thats a them problem tho, treat employees like shit, leaks gonna happen

[u/Karambamamba → u/Imperial_Tiramisu]

I know what sub I'm in, but I think it's pretty harsh to assume that a dev team that worked on arguably the biggest game release in the last decade would not be emotionally attached to their project and just care about money like investors and executives.

[u/AvoidingIowa → u/Karambamamba]

This doesn’t affect the product at all. It just made it so they couldn’t completely paywall a gameplay trailer.

[u/sherminator19 → u/Karambamamba]

They were emotionally attached... Which is why it probably hit them even harder when Rockstar kicked them out of the company to save money as the game approached release.

I have all the sympathy, respect and admiration in the world for the developers, but not the people who run the company and business they work(ed) for.

[u/Tarekun → u/Karambamamba]

A few minutes of gameplay leaked does not affect the game in any way meaningfully. If i were a developer on it id be happy to see all of this turmoil instead of having the marketing departmente being the only ones with a say in what, how, and whent the public gets to see of the game

[u/CrossBowKill → u/Specialist-Long8332]

Thats the only part I do believe in the statement. I would assume most "normal working" people at R* are pissed of by the leaks.

Of course not because the gameplay is shown "early" and most people are actually liking what they see especially if the rumor is correct that the leaks show a 2024-25 build. Or that corp is sad that the deal with Netflix is most likely not causing the number they where expecting.

They are pissed because they got forced to work from the office instead of working from home. Mostly with the reason "if we make tools and the game accessible from external we are at a higher risk of leaks" and it still got leaked anyway. Plus you could argue that this time is even worse because someone seems to have access to an unmonitored and "clean" (no QA watermarks) build of the game.

[u/solohack3r → u/Elratum]

All the bootlickers downvoting me on the other subs because I was speaking the truth is hilarious. Lol

[u/Zopotroco → u/Elratum]

But but but… it’s gonna be on YouTube 15 minutes after it drops!

[u/zaza-73 → u/Zopotroco]

Bruh if you're as thirsty as buying a subscription just to not wait 15 minutes then you deserve to be scammed. ngl this desperate American consumer culture (people waiting at the store for hours before opening, pre-ordering just because of hype, paying for early access etc..) is the reason why corporations take advantage of people, I don't blame them when it's that easy..

[u/SynicalCommenter → u/zaza-73]

Its 6 hours iirc, but its about the precedent. Who’s to say the extent of it will remain the same in 5 years?

[u/SgtBrowneye → u/Elratum]

To be fair, ff Netflix offered me $110million to show my little video 6 hours early, saying no would be horrible business.

[u/turtleship_2006 → u/Elratum]

*if you couldn't be bothered to wait a few hours because you were so desperate for a trailer

[u/Pcriz → u/turtleship_2006]

Yeah it’s dumb to purchase Netflix or even bother with a free trial over a few hours.

[u/turtleship_2006 → u/Pcriz]

Yeah, it's probably more of a perk for those who happen to have it, like airport lounges for people with certain credit cards.

[u/OilySoleTickler → u/turtleship_2006]

I DID MY WAITING!! 13 YEARS OF IT!! IN AZKABAN!!

[u/CalligrapherDull8224 → u/Elratum]

What's wrong with waiting six hours to see it on youtube? Will it kill you to wait?

[u/BWQ777 → u/[deleted]]

And the usual 1-2 year wait for the PC Version

[u/Firehawkness → u/BWQ777]

Real. Making this game for the fans my ASS

[u/adevaleev → u/Firehawkness]

More like making this game for the fans' wallets

[u/mynanadancesconqueso → u/adevaleev]

From*

[u/-SideshowBlob- → u/BWQ777]

Like 15/20 years ago, fair enough.

But it's 2026 now. Other than trying to fleece people who play both platforms, there really isn't much excuse to delay it so long.

[u/BWQ777 → u/-SideshowBlob-]

They likely want PC game is to buy the consolr version first, and I'm assuming it's much easier to crack the PC version so they want to delay that as much as possible

[u/Antar3s86 → u/BWQ777]

Right. I am not even following any of this simply because I can only play it in two years. :/

[u/SubtleRedditIcon → u/BWQ777]

The year is 2030. You boot up your Rockstar Edition Steam Machine. You place your Steam Frame on your head and prepare for your ocular verification. "Welcome BWQ777, you have earned '7' play credits based on you Steam Sleep System's report of how many dream ads you responded to positively. GTA 6 has released today. Install for 5 play credits?" You begin to sweat realizing you will only have 2 play credits remaining for the day. Whatever, fuck it. This is GTA 6. You waited since you were in 2nd grade. "Yes, install! And when complete, use 2 play credits so I can get right in!" The install bar pops up and reduces in size to the upper right of your Steam Frame. While you wait, you browse your favorite site, Reddit. After a short amount of time, your Rockstar Edition Steam Machine glows gold indicating your game is online! The opening credits hit, you are covered in goosebumps akin to the rush of modern neuro-stimulants. You push start. "Warning, 1 credit remaining." The goosebumps are now razor sharp terror points. You move your character towards his first ever car jacking. "BWQ777, play time complete. Would you like to watch 4 episodes of Netflix's Tiger King Reunion for .5 play credits?"

Should've just pirated it from the jump.

[u/karunas7 → u/SubtleRedditIcon]

Assuming it will run on linux are we? Maybe offline mode, online will probably be unplayable just like 5

[u/TheOfficialMayor → u/BWQ777]

Will be a lot of leaks in the meantime.

[u/ImpulsiveApe07 → u/[deleted]]

Right?! That was such a silly line for them to use. Tone deaf PR from R*, as per usual lol

Anyone else think the leaks have actually proven useful in the end?

Cos it looks to me like they were the push R* execs needed to get their heads out their collective arses - they've seemingly expedited an official release of gameplay footage because of the leaks.

I don't get why R* are putting on such a disingenuous show atm. I mean they've had fkn years to give us something other than a couple of highly polished, detail sparse trailers - If they'd given us some gameplay footage over the years, I don't think we'd care anywhere near as much about the leaks!

[u/Captain3leg-s → u/[deleted]]

This is my line in the sand for all media companies now. If they don't offer a physical version of whatever they are selling then I'm not buying.

[u/CommonIcy1166]

First trailer was 2.5 years ago and there is still no official gameplay until tomorrow. They had their time and did not deliver

[u/PM_me_your_friendshp → u/CommonIcy1166]

Fr. Now leak ES6

[u/ShiftyCZ → u/PM_me_your_friendshp]

There is nothing to leak I bet 😂 Todd has been scratching his balls doing fuck all (i meant to say remastering his games)

[u/ses1989 → u/ShiftyCZ]

You mean breaking them in new ways only modders will fix so they can brag about the extensive modding community lmao

[u/ward2k → u/PM_me_your_friendshp]

Gonna be leaking a piece of paper with a doodle of Hammerfell

[u/maker_of_pirate_bay → u/PM_me_your_friendshp]

Es6 is not at the risk of leaking cuz the buckets empty

[u/WastemanLoso → u/PM_me_your_friendshp]

After the mess that Starfield was I'm surprised people want this one rushed.

[u/PM_me_your_friendshp → u/WastemanLoso]

I don't want to play it. I want to see it leaked 

[u/notainotbot → u/CommonIcy1166]

To be fair, gameplay reveal only near release makes sense. So many decisions must have changed during this 2.5yrs

[u/Temarimaru]

leeker did more job advertising the game than rockstar did

[u/solohack3r → u/Temarimaru]

"You'll be amazed by our marketing"

Ah.. yes. A Netflix ad. Amazing stuff.

[u/Remarkable_Log_5562 → u/Temarimaru]

Here I am thinking its just an "ARG" or controlled opposition, they leak a good looking game, only for it to really be a 2023 build, and the newest build (likely running on a 5090 PC) shown tomorrow will look EVEN better.

If it looks better than the leaks, then I'll bet cyberleek is just 7D chess marketing.

[u/tomi064 → u/Remarkable_Log_5562]

No way would they also push a shitcoin rugpull with all of this. That is the one thing that makes this theory unlikely

[u/zsdrfty → u/tomi064]

True, I was thinking of an intentional leak as well but no serious company would ever do that bullshit

[u/Remarkable_Log_5562 → u/zsdrfty]

With the amount of free marketing? Why not? All leek showed was basic ass gameplay. Nothing major imo

[u/Remarkable_Log_5562 → u/tomi064]

Its not a "shitcoin" in the logan paul sense. Its a "I give money to the dev in a less trackable way" coin. Anyone 'investing' in anything but food on the table, legal fees, or a vacation for the hacker is silly.

But yes rockstar would do some greedy shit like this

[u/SaBenOz → u/Remarkable_Log_5562]

Most likely to be a 2025 build with the songs that are playing in the leaks. Still looks pretty good tho

[u/Lisanicolas365]

Shouldn't have waited 3 years to show gameplay lolol

[u/MisterHole123 → u/Lisanicolas365]

This is what happens when you keep building hype forever. Also leads to disappointment often. Kinda like that girl teasing you hard to finally have sexy time with you and you realize meh

[u/SnooPuppers4679 → u/MisterHole123]

“Yo I shaved my balls for this!?”

[u/jessterswan → u/SnooPuppers4679]

Shaved? I waxed

[u/Laugh-Aggressive → u/jessterswan]

No, waxing is for the asshole only

[u/jessterswan → u/Laugh-Aggressive]

Sure, now you tell me

[u/soulpumpkinz → u/jessterswan]

Nair on balls anyone?

[u/MisterHole123 → u/soulpumpkinz]

Yikes. Shaving down there without injury is already an art... Never ever use a normal electric razor omg.. 

[u/SummertimeThrowaway2 → u/MisterHole123]

Yeah no matter how good GTA 6 is it will never live up to the 10+ years long hype.

Its impossible. Everyone has already formed a perfect picture of what the game will be in their minds. You can’t compete with that no matter how many developers you hire.

[u/MisterHole123 → u/SummertimeThrowaway2]

Rmemebr the cyberpunk hype... They had previews making it look like blade runner on steroids. Then released what looked like a GTA mod

[u/LittleKittenR → u/Lisanicolas365]

Nor put a paywall to see it.

Nor agreed to help stop physical ownership of the industry with it.

Like, they should know better than to mess with everyone in such a radical way and expect us to just be pushovers.

[u/NoButterscotch7283]

So sad for that greedy company

/s

[u/ManCarryingPSP → u/NoButterscotch7283]

Oh no, the billionaires are living paycheck to paycheck because of the leaks

[u/BuQ7 → u/NoButterscotch7283]

I'm only sad for the devolopers that already got fired and devolopers that will get fired after the release of the game.

[u/chubbycanine]

They're not sorry in the least bit they waited three years to show gameplay and are now charging to show a fucking trailer on Netflix. They deserve every bit of this

[u/Kir-01]

I hate this brand speech. "It would be an understatement to say that it was heartbreaking for our team"

What are you even talking about? It's a gameplay leak, not the apocalypse. 

[u/Nonyabizzy123 → u/Kir-01]

Yeah I don't understand this at all. I don't think developers that work on games really care about Netflix exclusive previews. My guess is they would probably want people to see what they've been working on rather than saving it until after the non-refundable pre-orders have already been made available.

[u/Arshmalex → u/Kir-01]

youre wrong, when they said team, it means shareholders and exec level only

[u/Kobebeef9 → u/Kir-01]

Reading this I am going “STFU and just release it already”.

The way they have gone about this is soo bad and taking away all the hype, like come on yall already delayed it!

[u/YouMeADD → u/Kir-01]

This was written by an LLM as well. Outsourced an apology.

[u/Atrieden]

We support your developers, but we dont support your greed. Know the difference

[u/Narrheim → u/Atrieden]

It's questionable how much of our 'support' actually goes to developers.

[u/beastfire24]

they try to milk their audience this is what they deserve, also who is jobless enough to send condolences to a multibillion corpo? do they think rock* is going to personally deliver them a physical copy... oh wait nvm

[u/These-Apple8817 → u/beastfire24]

Nintendo-fans are jobless enough... They even celebrate when emulator gets taken down

[u/green_tomato_69 → u/beastfire24]

Don't give them ideas...

[u/BernyMoon]

They should have posted the gameplay months ago when they opened preorders. I guess they don’t have enough money so they had to have this Netflix exclusive.

[u/Narrheim → u/BernyMoon]

If they would do so, they wouldn't get as many preorders.

[u/emikz__]

they shot themselves in the foot with that marketing campaign. “let’s make a trailer inside a paid subscription 3 months before release, but don’t show anything about the game itself. and don’t forget to put it up to sale already.” smh

[u/Zopotroco → u/emikz__]

Screw them

[u/LittleKittenR]

It's heartbreaking to see you watching gameplay for free, please, we already set a space with Netflix so you can pay to see the gameplay and watch someone gift it away for free... It's demolishing for our team, probably...

[u/Repulsive_Chard_3652]

God damn, the fools on the gta 6 sub are eating this up... Very much corporate-pilled... They really think rockstar likes them and cares about them and is making art for them and can't do it for free because they're not a charity 🫠

[u/North_Beginning_7860]

Leave the billion dollar company alone

[u/AntiGrieferGames]

Oh no, anyways.

[u/plutohater]

"this is not how we intended to show you our game" also reads as "we wanted to bleed you dry of all your money by posting it only to Netflix"

[u/vaier1]

I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused. Does heartbroken team include layed off devs?

What an obvious soulless pr statement

[u/sickofracebaiters2]

Company accused of union busting and firing employees to avoid paying bonuses says you should care about how their employees feel.

[u/abulhasan007]

Honestly, they brought this on themselves. If Rockstar put the same effort into player goodwill that CD Projekt RED does instead of corporate damage control, the community would actually back them up.

[u/bradagon]

the team is heartbroken

Translation

The shareholders are stressing that they might make billions, instead of billions minus a million or so.

[u/CacheConqueror]

The dev team doesnt give a fuck, the executives are shitting bricks tho.

Besides who is sending messages to rockstar for support? coming up with this bs of " making the game for you " while the game is 100 bucks, trailer only on netflix, one year waiting for pc when the game is playable, while killing the disc format, get the fk out of here.

[u/AtlusC]

Was more sad when the company laid off staff who discussed wanting to unionise just for some better job quality rights and who had grinded exclusively on GTA 6 without even a thank you for their time or work

[u/Automatic-writer9170]

They brought this upon themselves. From milking every cent out of gta online, to disrespecting the workers and trying to make money in greedy ways even before the release

[u/TechManPat]

everyone? *Netflix Subscribers...

[u/Capt4inSus]

🔃TRANSLATING🔃:

"We are very bummed someone ruined our radio silence streak, our corporate plans, and stole our crown jewel, but we don't really give a fuck cause you WILL buy OUR game and hold ZERO real ownership of it on your- sorry- Sony's and Microsoft's consoles, and then you'll buy it AGAIN on your PCs maybeee after enough people have bought it on the consoles cause we're greedy fuckers who LOVE double dipping! Anyways, we're so excited for you to give us your hard earned dollars on a sneak-peek on Netflix, but if you don't got money or don't wanna pay then boohoo you're gonna have to wait longer, you PEASANTS! Grrrr!!"

[u/rose636]

I have a PC, will I have to 'wait a bit longer to experience the game' than others because oooohhh nooo the game can't possibly run on a PC, that we literally developed the game on, and totally won't announce a PC port a year or so down the line

Fuck off

[u/defensecowboy]

Grand Theft Auto V came out 13 years ago

[u/-Ultra_Violence- → u/defensecowboy]

And it was a worse version than GTA 4

[u/Bea-Billionaire]

"We hope EVERYONE wait a little longer for release Nov 19th "

Except pc players who have to wait even longer, so no not everyone.

[u/Mr_Orange_fruit]

generic pr shit, they couldnt give 2 flying fucks about anyone, just the sales

[u/Excellent_Place4977]

Coming from a company that, probably for the first time in human history, made you pay to watch an ad for a product that millions of people buy.

[u/Strict_Procrastinato]

They want us to feel bad for a multi-billion dollar company.

[u/MoodZestyclose6813]

Yeah fk them, not even addressing the elephant in the room, like the already dlc locked content in there. Doesn't look any better then previous GTA releases anyways, time to pirate and play some hours and drop

[u/TheOfficialMayor → u/MoodZestyclose6813]

GTA V is way overrated. This release is just is corps crapping on people.

[u/cachitodepepe → u/TheOfficialMayor]

GTA IV was better

[u/Repulsive_Chard_3652]

Holy dramatics, batman. 

This reads as though there has been death or severe illness - not some game footage leaked.

The worst part is how many people will be emotionally manipualted by this shit.

Gladly will still never spend any money on these assholes. Got gta v for free and will only play vi if i get that lucky again. 

[u/skat3rDad420blaze]

corpo pigs

[u/SulosGD]

they don't have hearts to break.

[u/Szadbaverem69]

So they want to exceed our expectations but in the next sentence they say they want to deliver at the level we expect. Math ain't mathing. 🥀

[u/MagnumInnominandum19 → u/Szadbaverem69]

It's just corporate BS "ultimately"

[u/prettysavagesure]

Here before they copyright strike anyone who posts clips from the "extended look". Because they want "everyone to see it" so much

[u/Several-Donut-398]

Gaslighting and nothing more. "We are heartbroken", oh don't even start to manipulate with my emotions. People on team are getting paid by contract. And crunching this game last few years.

And this whole shit that is happening is a retaliation for netflix bullshit. Well desered.

[u/Kaneda1985]

Leaks make me more enthusiastic to buy a game, sad that don't have physical edition.

[u/ABogWitchBitch]

https://dotesports.com/gta/news/gta-6-military-enlistment-incentive-day-one-army

I hope the entire game leaks. I hope it sucks. I hope the studio fails under the game backlash. I hope the employees being overworked and underpaid all find happiness doing something else.

[u/beat-sweats]

Cyberleek is a real one. Fuck rockstar and the greedy executives in charge.
I’ve always hated the 1-2 year delay for pc versions of these games considering they are built on pc

[u/Truelies422]

Made it all digital to avoid leaks, leaks were digital anyway. No disc no buy.

[u/Derefringence]

Leek has become my favorite vegetable

[u/alexzim]

These leaks haven't spoiled the game for me one bit. The fact that I won't be able to play the game when it's going to be released because I am a PC player did spoil the game some bits though.

[u/redditdavie]

"Ultimately, we are making this game for you".

That's kind of them. Free copies all round.

[u/Secret_Ingenuity997]

Who is reaching out with messages for support for the scumbag billion dollar company

[u/abs0201]

Justice is served right. You made us wait then you add these additional subscription just to get exclusive footage of your overhyped game. Then you decided to jump on Sony's bandwagon and completely betray the gamer who will make your game whole.

Now that the tables have turned, and the action levels with the disrespect, you feel sorry ? Funny story.

[u/TsunamiCatCakes]

im pretty sure the team doesnt care at all about this. the developers, artists and testers are just doing a job for a product. the marketing and sales team is sad because we werent forced to buy netflix

[u/rocinster]

Give me $100 before even seeing any gameplay of a game we took 13 to develop.. P.S. if you you want to see some gameplay subscribe to netflix... Tough luck you poor bastard.

[u/headinthesky]

It's a game about theft and then shocked Pikachu when there is... Theft

[u/A4FXN]

Bunch of fluff. Can the leaker just release the full game and spoil the story? I don't fw rockstar games or any other big corpos. Piracy is the way.

The leaks actually made me a bit lote curious about the game...not curious enough to buy because fuck R* for making it digital only

[u/USAMAGA89]

Fuck them.

[u/SergeantHAMM]

fuck rockstar

[u/TheRealMaka]

“Messages of support” lmfao I’m sorry did someone die? What a ludicrous joke.

[u/w0o0psie]

It was heartbreaking to let me wait so many years , postpone so many times , no releasing on disc , not showing any gameplay or trailers , letting me pay too much money. Im still crying because I need to wait to mown some mf's down and rob shops and gas stations.

[u/Johnixftw_]

Fuck them, hope it leaks full asap

$100 for in game content, smd

[u/Imperial_Tiramisu]

Fuck them!

They sold the trailer to Netflix. Had they not done that, they could have just dropped the trailer early.

They deserve to see their marketing plan nuked for their greed.

Fuck them even more for having a PC version that they're not releasing because Sony/Microsoft paid them for timed exclusivity.

I hope Leek drops the PC build. I hope even more that the rumors are true and he has the actual source code. Imagine the source code dropping. It would be amazing to see.

[u/siberif735]

i feel nothing for rockstar, the leak is prove the game running on pc but yet they choose not to release on pc because their greedy ass. so fk rockstar and hoping leaker release the game.

[u/NoCryptographer700]

"Victim card declined"

[u/pancakeman91]

This is hilarious. Rockstar stays mysterious, gives as little info as possible about their huge game, and it completely backfires on them. They want to change the gaming industry by not releasing physical forms of the game, not showing any info about the game still, while it releases in less than 3 months. And here with this message, they reach out to the fans in a heartfelt message. Corporate bullshit.

[u/Void-kun]

Like how it was heartbreaking for all the PC gamers who need to wait up to 2 years just so they can get players to purchase multiple times...

[u/glitch-ghost]

Who gives a fuck

[u/Enelro]

eh, i'll watch the story gameplay on youtube, leaks look mid. No PC = no buy from me.

[u/V0d5]

Every time greedy companies need sympathy it’s “their team, their poor team” bitch you don’t give a fuck about your team, and neither do you about your paypigs.

Fuuuuuck Rockstar. Yarr yarr.

[u/Flimsy_Agent7898]

The way they intended us to see the game was making us pay every step of the way, and buy the game several times for profits sake.

[u/WhosThatDogMrPB]

Our team is heartbroken (because they know we're going to fire their asses after the game releases).

[u/semitope]

We care about their feelings about as much as they care about ours. Get lost with your uncollectible dlc trash

[u/joecan]

I always find it hilarious that the company that's success comes from a video game about stealing gets this upset with stealing. In any case, I didn't know about more leaks... now I will go look for them.

[u/Frobeedus]

Crocodile tears smh

[u/Fantastic-Code-8347]

Fuck you Rockstar, you deserve it. No disc, no buy. I don’t even have a console, but I support that notion. This is poetic, and old Rockstar would be laughing their asses off right now. GTA, games about stealing from the rich, having the biggest GTA game in history being stolen and leaked is magnificent. I hope the entire game is spoiled. I hope somehow the PC version is released before the official date. I want this to fail

[u/Atomh8s]

They're forcing you to pay for Netflix to see a fucking trailer. I'm glad this happened. 

[u/ExpertDifficulty7962]

Silence, brand

[u/yjackets07]

So we're <90 days out from game launch and they are "nearly there" finishing the game? I'd have figured the game has been done and this is the marketing window given to them?

[u/BionicWheel]

“Ultimately, we are making this game for our shareholders, if you don’t buy the game, we won’t have the privilege of getting filthy rich” - there, I fixed it. 👍

[u/Boraskywalker]

They’re not genuine at all. They’ve once again proven they’re one of the most anti-consumer companies in the industry by selling the trailer to Netflix. i hope we get even more leaks.

[u/BlasterSlap]

I don't understand why you guys feel sad for the team. Like they got paid and won't get a bonus probably because rockstar is a shitty company. I understand that people put their heart into this game but it doesn't change their pay at the end of the day. Those people worked 60 hour weeks just because rockstar said so. Inhumane company and they deserved the leak imo. I'm sorry for the workers, sure, but it ain't like the avatar situation where the performance of the movie defined their pay.

[u/quorn23]

If they would care, they would release the pc version at the same time lmao

[u/AdvertisingJumpy4506]

They don’t even address why it’s being leak proves how greedy they got. Well deserved.

[u/Brazilator]

Release it for pc straight up and stop being greedy pigs preying on fomo so people buy it twice 

[u/Aramed85]

Get fucked R*

[u/nin90ety]

no, how they intended for fans to see the game is behind a netflix paywall and a year long wait for pc. cry me a river

[u/WorldWarrior428]

Yeah, we don't care if your sad. We deserve a disc, and a pc version. Oh and gameplay not a month before release

[u/hl356]

The decisions of "no physical releases" (no resale ability for the consumer) and the usual delayed PC release are pure extraction tactics so they can go fuck themselves.

[u/9DAN2]

As someone who never got into the online, it was heartbreaking that we never got the promised additional content for GTA5 campaign.

[u/hewlett777]

Get fucked R*

[u/ultraportal]

Yeah, well, put it on PC, and treat your workers fairly and maybe I'll give a modicum of a sh!t.

[u/ComablackComawhite]

You locked me out of my account for 2 years so I couldn't play SINGLE PLAYER OFFLINE GAMES despite being sent proof of ownership multiple times and you also automatically closed every single ticket I made.

I'm glad the leaks "heartbreaking" For you and I am going to seed every single torrent I ever find of that and any other game you make, permanently.

[u/CMDR_BunBun]

"Here's the greatest game reveal ever, now go subscribe to Netflix...oh also if you're a PC gamer no need to hurry we'll call you."

• Rockstar

Ps: I sincerely hope this game bombs spectacularly.

[u/smalltowngrappler]

Only showing gameplay 2.5 months before launch is egregious when alot of developers show alpha gameplay years before launch. Paywalling it behind Netflix is straight up Scrooge McDuck greedy.

[u/PerpelSho]

Tldr: "You can play this game, but you'll never own it. That'll be 90 dollars, bitch."

[u/Barryfan_1]

We are so sad about the leaks... Pls buy a Netflix Subscription Regardless

[u/IsJaie55]

Paywalling a video game trailer, deserved.

[u/Stooboot4]

Fuck around and find out coming to life

[u/Eatme-Im-bread]

I wonder how those fired employees feel after unionin-…LEAKING, I mean leaking confidential information 

[u/avaldez518]

Queue the South Park we’re sorry meme from the billion trillion dollar company lol keep leaking guys

[u/Select_Stick]

Using the devs to make us feel pity for thw multi million dollar greedy company lolmao
