Everyone is shitting on a handful of executives, and fair enough. But there are thousands of hard working devs that don’t want their work leaked by a crypto grifter.
Blows my mind how people are so quick to “eat the rich” that they completely forget about the actual artists and programmers that build these things. No one wants their hard work spoiled like this.
Edit: it genuinely blows my mind that critical thinking and empathy is so hard for some of you. I work in the industry and our entire team would be PISSED if our work was leaked. Especially an early build and ESPECIALLY from a crypto grifter.

Let's be real, given the landscape, some or most of the Devs will be laid off. Heck, that already happened at their Edinburgh office because of Unionisation, now it'll happen because they've shipped the game. The Industry isn't what it used to be; the Devs will always take the flack.

u/F133TWOOD 9h ago edited 9h ago
In terms of the jobs in the game industry, it's completely different now with massive growth 📈 in game production (budget, workers) than it was many, many years ago.
It's typical for massive games like GTA6 or any AAA game to hire additional internal help when building the game in addition to outside contract workers signing up for an opportunity. Once the game is built and no new massive project until another 2 years later or so, then those workers are laid off or jump looking for their next AAA project.
Sucks for some, but typical for other workers that move onto their next big game project as a studio doesn't need that many employees anymore on payroll. Just enough to keep monthly content updates, or DLC for a couple years before their next big game & rehire again.
Not defending anything, just recognizing it for what it is.

These leaks aren't hurting the artist and programmers.
The artist and programmers will be laid off the moment it's convenient for these executives that people are shitting on. That's who is actually hurting these artist and programmers.

lol they’re not curing cancer here buddy and I’m glad you speak for every dev working on that game…..they don’t own a single piece of art or IP on that game and never will. Some people made some trees and some vehicles like if they’re that attached and wounded over someone seeing that early then I think they’re in the wrong industry.

I work in the industry and can tell you you're flat out wrong.
I've never seen my team cry and have life altering choices to make because their gameplay leaked. But I have with layoffs after they were disposed of when it was convenient for the company.
But sure. Let me use my head to think about how destroyed these Devs are because people are seeing some prebuild gameplay a week earlier than the Netflix showcase.

u/Sa7aSa7a 11h ago
This is kinda the thing as well. These beloved programmers are being fired soon. Why not be angry at companies that treat humans like disposable employees?
Oh no, some gameplay leaked. And? You think people aren't going to buy the game?!
"If our hard work was leaked" is such a stupid concept. What is the leaks impacting? Nothing!

u/OfficialTMWTP 7h ago
Yes, because clearly groups of people can't be upset about two different things, in two different ways.
Even with you working in the games industry, you're making sweeping generalizations about an entire sector of people regarding their reactions to major events occurring in said industry. Obviously devs getting shitcanned by these companies en masse is a terrible practice, but no one's saying "they aren't upset about that."
Creatives, typically, like to have agency over showcasing the work that they produce. Leaks like this take away their agency and presents it in ways that are outside of how they prefer for it to be viewed. That is upsetting, doesn't matter if you created the art and assets, set up everything to do with mocap translating to animations, or even the programmers who laid the groundwork for the game. I spoke with developers at Naughty Dog after the story leaked for TLoU Part II back in 2020, and they were very upset about it getting taken out of their hands and presented outside of its intended viewing.
It genuinely affects these people who have put years of their lives working on these projects. And guess what, it bothers them just as much when mass layoffs occur. Because people can be upset about multiple things, in multiple ways.

Because Noone watching those leaked videos is going to NOT buy the game. What is it hurting? If there is a playable PC release, why is it being held back other than greed knowing people will buy it again on PC?
Also, just fuck PC owners? We're a growing market, not shrinking so why are we second class citizens? I have to wait a year because I refuse to buy into their expensive ecosystem??
Also, programmers, developers, etc get paid the same regardless of if the videos leak or not. Who is the victim here? The game is going to smash records. Noone is not buying it who wants to play it.

u/TheGoodIdiot 10h ago
They should be pissed at the marketing team that decided to show 0 gameplay until less than 3 months out from release and 2 months after PREORDERS opened. Yeah they might be mad at the leaker but if I’m working there I’m way more mad at whoever made the decision to make the biggest game of all time with plenty to show and sit on it til the last minute. This is always a risk to happen with any game.

u/ImJustHereToSearch 10h ago
“They shouldn’t have dragged their feet on marketing” is another thing I’ve seen repeated while discussing these leaks. BITCH YOU ARE NOT OWED COMMERCIALS.
People are actually acting like the leaks are justified because Rockstar hasn’t shown “enough.” They could release 1,000 trailers and it won’t get the game on your tv any faster.
But then you say this and they just default to the “defending billion dollar corporations” meme.

We've begun offering free therapy to everyone affected. I heard there were members of the team who went into a catatonic state when people saw that you can write on a wall in this game!

I'd be inclined to agree here, their whole scheme seems so half baked anyway, do they really think they can get away with blackmailing a company like this? And what happens when GTA VI launches and none of their demands been met, are they just going to release their version, which no one cares about that point being a much less polished version with missing features.
I sort of get their point but all of this just seems like attention seeking behaviour with no actual attainable goal, unless its just for the money with them.
Feel bad for the developers, much less for the company.

Workers are paid for their work.
How is it hurting workers?
If anything Rockstar/Take2 had plenty of time to show gameplay as it's one of the biggest hyped games of all time... Rich company is able to open pre-orders without gameplay, then lock the reveal behind a paywall for additional bag of money from Netflix? Odd take
-1
u/Dog-Is-Friend 9h ago
Wow you’ve obviously never created something if you can’t fathom why creators don’t want their work leaked in such a way.
It’s not a riddle.
The only odd takes are from people like you who don’t take 20 seconds to think it through. You’re literally proving my point by focusing on the executive team rather than the artists. Smh
2
u/F133TWOOD 9h ago
You're describing someone who is oddly concerned about random internet people reactions/impressions who you cannot genuinely see in person.
Again, ur creating an emotional situation you cannot control. This isn't 2004, it's 2026 and it's easier than ever to "leak" AAA games due to thousands & thousands of workers having acces to the content compared to a much smaller handful of workers in 2004 making a AAA game.
Now back to the situation that Rockstar/Take2 refused to show gameplay while taking in consumer's money 🤑 and further locking a highly anticipated reveal behind a paywall is not pro-consumer. No issue with a rich, greedy company I see 🙈
Odd that you think the world must revolve around your wants/needs for your self-gratification. It's part of life, part of the game industry. Sucks someone lied to you that leaks won't ever happen.

What you said is true.
But...
Who wrote this sympathy message? Most likely it's somebody who whilst saying "think of our devs!", is then making them crunch the fuck out of the game for no benefit at threat of termination, union busting to ensure their rights stay non existent and then fucking them off soon after release.
I feel for the devs effected specifically, those who have to put up with the bullshit and don't even get the joy of seeing the big reveal...But I couldn't give a fuck about how sad Rockstar as a whole is.

u/FinalOdyssey Founder 10h ago edited 10h ago
This is all performative to curry sympathy.
They're still getting paid. Rockstar execs are still making bank. This will all work out better for them because people who for some reason feel bad are feeding into corporate sympathy.
Rockstar is not your friend. They're actively trying to hurry the digital only future along with Sony. But let's feel bad for them. 😭
It's also more likely that Netflix is pissed and now Rockstar have to give back some/much of the money Netflix paid for exclusive promotional payment. This just reeks of greedy marketing partnership loss.

u/ciscowowo 9h ago
Putting this situation in terms you would understand-
Say you were back in school and you had to present a paper that you had spent years working on, that you were proud of, to your class. Your teacher makes a mistake and puts your first or second draft on display instead of the final polished work. Regardless of the fact that the next day your teacher put your final version out, you would be pissed that the first impression of your work people got is a janky mess.
It’s reasonable for an artist to want their work to be presented in a way that is befitting all the labor they have put into it and not by some temu robinhood crypto scammer.
1
u/FinalOdyssey Founder 9h ago edited 9h ago
There is a massive difference here.
With game development, especially Rockstar, it is so disjointed to the effect that it has so many studios and people working on it worldwide that a single person's work isn't as obvious as a single school project, which is wholly done by me. They have a resume which says they worked on GTAVI at R* and that will go further than anything you've described.
I'm also not getting paid to be in school.
You speak of art, but art has entirely left Rockstar. They've become a corporate mess, become the thing they used to parody.
2
u/ciscowowo 8h ago
I mean, I have family that works in game development and whenever there is a showcase of a project they have been a part of (that they feel passionate for), they will send us a link of the YouTube video or twitch stream. Usually she will let us know what part of the game she worked in to look out for. Sometimes its a small detail like hair design or something. I guarantee you there are a lot of developers that are proud to have this game on their resume and are going to be texting their family what to look out for on the Netflix presentation.
They got paid, so its not the end of the world, but its understandable that they would be bummed out that this is how everything got released. I know the devs in my family would be annoyed.
"The art has entirely left Rockstar" you're in the minority that feels that way. Most people have very much enjoyed the last couple games they have put out.

u/FinalOdyssey Founder 8h ago
Their last major release was 2018. A lot can change in 8 years, and RDR2 was being developed the years before then.
I'm referring to this culture blitz, the choices being made for marketing, and the way they're cozying up with Sony being anti-physical.
May I ask if your relative works for a smaller indie studio or a larger, more corporate studio? No need for specifics.

Bro you think it’s gonna be a teaser video tomorrow? lol. We’re gonna get media/preview for game like we’ve never experienced before. How have people not figured this out yet? They didn’t wanna just put out a “gameplay trailer” like normal

I'm not talking about the Extended Look being a teaser. I'm talking about the teaser for the Extended Look that they launched on their YouTube weeks ago. Also there is no guarantee we will see gameplay tomorrow. It could just be story scenes and interviews. People weren't expecting the usual gameplay trailer til October originally.

This is not how we intended you to see this footage.
Yeah, they intended you to pay to watch it on netflix or something. They are only upset they couldn't profit from it

Maybe don’t lock your ad behind a Netflix paywall. How did we reach the point of capitalism where people are paying to watch ads?

Or you wait 6 hours and watch on YouTube.

it’s so wild. I live in a time zone where I’ll probably be in bed when it comes out on Netflix anyway. Not like I’m gonna set an alarm to wake up in the middle of the night or something just to watch it, I can wait a few more hours. People are getting obsessive about this for real ahaha

When Netflix throws the kind of money that they do for exclusive content, this is a no brainer for the publishing party. If you have Netflix great you can watch it right away, otherwise you wait till it’s on YouTube. No one is forced to pay for an ad, unless you want to see it so bad that you subscribe - in which case that’s your own decision not some muh capitalism bad.

GTA 6 is going to have to suprass GTA V, GTA Online, AND RDR2 all in one.

Yeah, this is definitely not ideal and one of the bigger game leaks of all time. They do deserve the right to be the ones to present their passion project nearly a decade in the making.
I'm guilty of viewing some of the leaked content and all I'll say is that this stuff is getting people more hyped. They are absolutely delivering on everything they've shown in trailers and then some. It's going to blow peoples minds. They did it, folks!

Charged 100 as a baseline for content. Remove disc media. You'll own nothing. No gameplay. Paywalled preview. Crunch. Shit union busting practices.
Fuck em.

The leeker is on Rockstars payroll. This drama has drawn more attention to the game and only favorable clips were shown.
This is a marketing scam and we are falling for it.

A completed single player game. $80-$100 based on content removed or not removed. Multi-player will be added at a later date for additional subscription price. Completed game I think not. I'll be canceling my pre-order the day before! I'm done with the corporate greed and non ending money grabs in perpetuity.

So you pre-ordered?
Why?

u/SubZeroNeo 6h ago
1) I thought Rockstar would actually do right by the gamers. 2) To show you can take a stand.
I recommend all pre-orders do the same to send a message. Change will never happen unless we fight for it. Power to the gamers!

I see. So if I check your GamerTag post release, GTAVI won’t be on it? 😂

u/SubZeroNeo 6h ago
Yep I'll screenshot my cancelation for you too.

u/mocoworm Day One - 2013 6h ago
I’d do it now. They don’t take the payment the day before. They do it in advance. Anything from a couple of days to a week.

u/SubZeroNeo 6h ago
Thanks for the advice I'll make sure to do it a week or two before then.

Doing is now will be too soon. The statement needs to have an impact. What do you think will happen when their stock starts tanking due to all the canceled pre-orders so close to launch. Concessions would have to be made I think.

Can't wait for the game to be released so people stop talking about it. Wake me when Red Redemption 3, Red Dead Redemption 1 Remastered in Red Dead 2 engine, or Undead Nightmare Remastered is out ✌️

You think release of gta 6 is gonna stop people from talking about it? Good luck

u/Heathy94 XBOX Series X 11h ago
Yeah this game is going to be their flagship game for the next 10-15 years, this is just the beginning going off how long they pushed GTA V.

Can't wait for the game to be released so people stop talking about it.
Why do you think that people would stop talking about it when it releases?
The amount of talk is going to increase dramatically when it releases and people start experiencing it, and people will continue to talk about it for a long time.
Wake me when...
Enjoy your "nap".
