Do you think the Cyberleek situation could be an inside job?

Grand Theft Auto VI

What makes me consider this theory isn’t necessarily the idea that Rockstar needed the leak. It’s how incredibly convenient the whole situation is for them.
GTA 6 is now \*\*EVERYWHERE.\*\* Rockstar is getting free marketing from basically every gaming website, with outlets turning into GTA 6 news channels overnight. The scale of this attention is insane, and I genuinely doubt even a massive traditional marketing campaign could generate this exact kind of organic hype???

The hype basically went total nuclear, people who had little or no interest in GTA 6 are suddenly glued to every new leak and waiting to see what comes next

And then there’s the delay angle.
If Rockstar wanted to delay the game (again)this situation gives them a pretty damn solid justification. They can point to leaked development footage, security issues, the need to protect unfinished material, or simply say that the circumstances have affected development.

\*\*I’m not saying this proves Rockstar orchestrated the leak. It obviously doesn’t.\*\*
But when you look at how much attention this has generated and how convenient the situation could potentially be for Rockstar, I think an inside-job theory is at least interesting enough to discuss.
What do you guys think?
