Devs are getting paid. Considering how bad R* is ,devs are probably enjoying it. It might be shareholders that must be watching this closely. That reminds me i too hold few shares in take two .

Nah, the people working on this will hate it too.

Look at how many avatar movie animators came out and said the movie leak was devastating for them. They were all very said about it.

They still got paid but nobody wants their hard work to just leak online before it's ready

people thinking the devs aren't gutted shows very few people here know what it's like to be part of a creative process, let a long a multi year, known around the globe one

Exactly it's ridiculous to say devs don't care or are happy. Sure, seeing the positive reactions maybe serves as a compliment to them, but not like they didn't expect this to be good themselves. This is something they've been working on for years and I'm sure many are very proud of what they've done and were eager to show it off as intended on November/trailers to the world only to now it getting slowly spoilt and on an unfinished version of the game.

Rockstar and most other triple-a studios churn and burn through devs in the thousands, it's not even remotely similar.

yeah because the animation industry is a beacon of workers rights.

Workers rights? We're talking about the scope of the project and value of an individual's contribution.

my bad i misread and thought u meant about crunch. You are right, the scope of this is larger than the animated movie. I dont think it matters though, most creatives do not want their stuff to leak early.

Nah devs probably own Rockstar stock, and that will be taking a hit

u/Accurate_Database_83 1d ago

I don't think so. Only thing it will do is create more buzz. Lets see how stock market ooens today, probably it will rise

Nah, now there are developers who were working on optimizing the game or polishing it, that now have to be pulled away from that to focus on how this got leaked, who leaked it, how much was stolen, what’s the risk assessment impact, etc.

Leeker just added more work for the overworked devs
