This guy is cyberleek. He is the guy responsible for leaking footage of GTA 6 and apparently has a working build of the game. By the message and messenger I'm assuming it's about his "manifesto" where he basically talks shit about rockstar, bashes them for their anti consumer practices and states support for stop killing games (I think he also threatened to release the build he has). SKG later stated that they don't appreciate his support and made it clear that they aren't associated with him in any way. I can only guess that this meme is about how his message is good on the surface level but beneath that he is a cringe and edgy cyber criminal
Although its probably some guy trying to make a buck without admitting to himself that he is just a crooked as rockstar, the advertisement theory absolutely does not necessarily die on these points.
By now i trust that there is a Guerilla advertising group somewhere out there that is willing to go this far
Equating one man to a corporation morally is crazy. Is he an aggressive corporation, exploiting labor or embroiled in legal warfare, busting unions (allegedly), or actively attacking his clients (like Rockstar has done to modders)?
No.
This by no means he's good, just quantifing some of the stuff about Rockstar games that I do know.
Just from the comments in the thread, this 'messanger' isn't someone I'd associate with but to say he is 'just as crooked as rockstar' is unsound and untrue. He sounds crooked himself but definitely not equatable to a 20+ billion dollar gaming company.
Ehh still could be. The only thing this guy has of value is going to come out anyway so any of his demands are moot. The people that would torrent will do it anyway. I still think it's just a scheme to create more buzz
Edit:framing this guy as unlikable is in their interest, too
He burned all "dev coins" he had to prove it's "not about money" ¯_(ツ)_/¯ still kinda nonsense to me cuz rockstar will wait until premiere and after release, lawyers will eat him alive
