    The intended game experience of paying out of your ass constantly, yes.

    Im still convinced its marketing now, whether the leak was intentional or not.

    Theres no such thing as bad attention in 2026. All that matters is that this leak is viral, and now everyone is talking about GTA.

    They’re unfortunately going to make $7.8B instead of $7.9B…

    I wish they’d actually suffer enough to change for the better.

    If the leaker had a build, they would have released it by now to deal this damage.

    Its not a hostage situation, its an attention seeking situation. Any real leaker just dumps the game instantly.

    They’re going to do so many lay-offs the instant the game is released.

    I'm doing research and development for an even smaller world's smallest violin, it's not done yet but they're welcome to pre-order it

    Oh so heartbreaking. In the end it’s just free marketing and buzz for them, so I’m sure they’re just beside themselves.

    "Intended game experience" = "We can't milk the FOMO as effectively now"

    The intended experience of a wonderfully detailed open world interrupted often by annoying phone calls...

    If they delayed the release by a month every time a leak came out, I wonder if the leakers would change their tune.

    "If Rockstar did the dumbest thing imaginable, massively pissed off all of their fans, devs, and investors, abandoned their fudiciary duty over an Internet slapfight, and openly put themselves at the complete mercy of leakers who could probably just leak the game to an army of those pissed-off fans anyway, maybe then the leakers would back off."

    I want to put you in charge of a large company and watch you speedrun burning it to the ground within, like, a day. You're like the Bizarro John Nash.

    Oh. My bad, for some reason I thought that the leakers wanted the game to come out. Maybe I was wrong!

    Okay, I admit I was wrong and only said those things because I was jealous of your strategic genius. Can you elaborate on your idea to tank the value of TTWO and give leakers unilateral control of the release schedule of Rockstar's biggest product in 13 years bring these leakers to heel?

    My rationale was that the leakers were frustrated with GTA 6 taking so long to come out, so delaying the game might make them more frustrated and hurt their cause.

    Of course, it is certainly likely that I am wrong and these leakers are just leaking stuff for fun or something.

    No. iIRC the leaker is pissed off at gratuitous microtransactions, live service slop and other AAA shenanigans

    I see. I am not sure how this will help!

    I've never been very much into GTA, I played GTA 5 a couple of times and was actually underwhelmed. I am saving for my first console and am more excited to get RDR2 and the new Lego Skylines game than GTA 6.
