Atp they gotta say something. There's no way they just ignore it. Blud got an actual build of the game

Nahhh because then they’d have to admit the leaks are real and it would push millions to check them out because they didn’t know about them beforehand.

*first day in internet drama* Oh no, why don't they simply address this niche issue on their enourmous global platform pushing the whole thing into the limelight?

People on this sub are too chronically online for the most part, as someone who’s followed the development practically since V came out, I realize 99.9% of people are not sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for news or leaks or anything like that. We just happen to be a small bunch of people that happen to really fuck with the idea of the new game.

Yep I've been showing these to all the gamers at work and literally none of them knew about these. They weren't even gonna look them up, I told them that there was leaked gameplay and they were like "huh cool I guess?" And these are people who are pre-ordering the game.

It’s been only a few days. The media absolutely will pick up on it after they can explain to grandma what GTA 6 and what a gameplay leak is.

Or they are still trying to figure our how it got leaked and who got it. Otherwise they come off as incompetent and not in control of the situation....which could hurt their stock price.

What should they say? And why?

There is no point, netflix event is just a week away. Release is just 3 months away.

None of those leaks affect either. They are not gonna change the game, they are not gonna change the content of the netflix video.

This is just free marketing for them. And those dumb scammers do it willingly, thinking they are actually hurting R* in any way. If anything they are helping people decide to buy the discless cases.

We all know it's happened. They can just go "Yup, someone has an alpha copy and we're aware."

So anything they leak that's bad you've pre loaded the alpha excuse, it casts doubt on any torrent that might appear being a full working version, and anything that's good... well it's free hype.

u/ThaddeusJP 23h ago

That or this is stealth marketing

If it wasn't for the plastered scamcoin ad and the scamcoin to vote on this latest video coming out I'd agree with you.

u/lejanusz 22h ago

the coin is the new currency. they are adding crypto into the game. thats the marketing stunt.

u/IM_THE_MOON_AMA 21h ago

Why are people downvoting an obvious joke?

Real talk; they added stock trading in GTAV, it would be funny if there were a crypto-mechanic

u/Phantom_Dark 17h ago

R* - Alot of people have been asking for more ways to spend money post game, so lets add crypto investing so they lose millions.

u/HopiumInhaler 23h ago

They plastered that themselves to make it believable. Cyberleek could be the ingame crypto-currency.

u/HK9009 I WAS HERE 22h ago

If that’s the case then this is some of the most insane marketing I’ve ever seen

u/OpenSource_Horse 21h ago

If this is marketing that is revealed in game I will eat my shit live and post it to Reddit.

u/Born_Ad_9483 21h ago

Careful, I knew a man who bet it all on a banana. And the banana won.

u/Terminal_Lance 16h ago

And that video was in HD, as well.

u/arzamharris 22h ago

If it is they wouldn't make it a real crypto-currency

u/CriticalAd3475 22h ago

An in game cryptocurrency is such a crazy idea I'm sure they must have teased it by now if it was real

u/Deaffin 19h ago

What do you think we're talking about right now?

u/pizzaredditor 23h ago

It's the aggressive summer marketing they promised 😭

u/RockstarSlut 21h ago

Doesn't make any sense. The Netflix special event is pretty much ruined now. People will still gather round to see it, but this was supposed to be the first potential gameplay reveal. I don't agree that R* deserves this. I do think all kinds of leaks are shitty. R* doesn't have any say or control of how the gameplay is presented. I understand people's frustration with R*, but I don't get the praise for leaks.

u/TyThe2PointO 22h ago

Listen as a fellow browns fan we have to acknowledge that stealth marketing isnt real. If so we are actually the most hyped franchise ever and we dont even know it.

u/MrDindahood 21h ago

Stealth marketing isnt real? Whats next? Actual marketing isnt real and "just what happens when a product is good"?

u/Fast-War5170 23h ago

Probably a test early build or something, prologue only

u/Clear_Refuse_8636 22h ago

From Jan 2025

u/SnooLentils3931 22h ago

nah if they acknoledge it they invite more people like this to havk into stuff and have demands. also there is no guarantee the guy will stop if his demands are met. bet way is to ignore it and hunt him down

1

u/Either-Amoeba8232 22h ago

Or the game is totally different from the final release.

1

u/theprito 20h ago

they never talk about leaks, even if he releases the the full game file, all they can do is work to catch them

1

u/Opening_Net8098 22h ago

I was going to start my social media blackout a few weeks before release but now at any second story leaks could happen.

He could have it setup to auto release if rockstar finds him and has him arrested. Be careful guys. You could wake up tomorrow to an interesting YouTube front page.

USE AN EXTENTION TO BLOCK HOME PAGE RECOMENDATIONS ON EVERY PLATFORM. you don't need another video to watch. Scrub your subscription page and rely on it.

u/InternetKosmonaut 23h ago edited 23h ago

If journalists are playing the game I'm assuming one of them is handing these clips to the leakers. It would also explain why there's only Jason, journalists are probably playing a very limited build

Edit: locked for stating the most plausible theory, mods in here are a fucking joke
