GTA 6: After the wave of leaks – Rockstar insiders confirm the authenticity of the videos
This was seen in the leaks: Leaks kept coming to light during the development of the latest GTA installment, but last weekend a hacker trumped all previous ones. Almost 100 videos of GTA 6 have been published on the Internet. Among other things, they showed the setting, cars, NPCs, but also a playable protagonist in GTA 6. This mega leak gave thousands of players a first impression of the upcoming title. But the authenticity of the leaked videos was also discussed. An insider spoke up on Twitter and was able to confirm that the videos are real.
Authenticity confirmed: The famous American video game journalist Jason Schreier confirmed the authenticity of the leaked material from GTA 6. On Twitter he even spoke of one of the “biggest leaks in video game history”. Additionally, his sources at Rockstar Games clarified that the videos are from an “early and unfinished” stage of development. But it is also certain that Rockstar Games will suffer massive damage from the Mega Leak.
This is one of the biggest leaks in video game history and a nightmare for Rockstar Games.
This is Jason Schreier: If Jason Schreier confirms a leak, one can assume that the information shared is also valid. Because the American is one of the most renowned journalists in the video game industry and is known for his many sources with publishers and developers. In the past, he also helped expose the grievance of the crunch culture in the games industry. The journalist is the first point of contact in the industry when it comes to background information. Jason Schreier recently commented on the release of GTA6.
GTA 6: Mega Leaks confirmed – Rockstar Games is facing massive problems
The effects of the leak: In his tweet Jason Schreier also discusses the problems such a leak can cause for the developer. Rockstar Games is now having to invest a great deal of time cleaning up the leak, resulting in “work on GTA 6 will stop for now”. In addition, the illegal distribution of the video material can also affect the flexibility of the employees to work from home, after all it is not yet known who is responsible for the hacker attack.
Leaks of this immense magnitude could also mean far-reaching consequences for the gaming industry beyond Rockstar Games, and unfortunately probably not good ones. So it remains to be seen how the events surrounding the mega leaks to GTA 6 will continue to develop. Allegedly, the hacker has already tried to blackmail Rockstar Games with the source code for GTA 6.
