This leaks need to stop imo. (read body)

Hi! Just want to keep my opinion and hear yours too. I reckon its high time for the leaks to just stop. See I ain’t no fan of the gta series honestly, i would prefer max payne and rdr series more than it, although gta 4 is my fav amongst it. But despite, ig the leaks gotta stop.

I completely understand the frustration of these companies being greedy, not releasing discs, heavy prices etc etc but thats another paraphernalia after all. The hacker claims that hes leaking them as a sign of protest against the companies, but idts this is a suitable method of doing so? First of all, the guy is literally risking his life for the sake of a video game i.e. he could be imprisoned, no cap. He could be charge a lots of money, investigations could start and his life may whole become a mess and all this for what? a video game?

I understand the passion, honestly no doubt GTA 6 is gonna be the game changer of this industry and carry another generation from next year onwards but you see leaks are literally nothing but spoiling everyone’s experience. If you look from my perspective, no matter how much he leaks, he could barely show us the 10% of total GTA 6 if I become optimistic. The rest 90% of the game will be known once it releases for everyone.

Also I heard about the hacker promoting his crypto and demanding to buy them?(not sure) Damn now this is something which ain’t good. If you want to strike against morality, be ethically good first. You protest for a reason and then tail it to something? Doesn’t make sense after-all.

But yeah at the end I hope, the companies learn lessons from all the at the least. Thats what I could expect. These companies need to be more gamer friendly rather than running behind growth like a hungry dog. Be like steam, Be goated. I genuinely have respect for r* games as it carried a significant portion of my childhood, and even now. But its recent decisions ain’t gonna keep that outlook of it in my opinion.

Thank you!
