“If Rockstar did the dumbest thing imaginable, massively pissed off all of their fans, devs, and investors, abandoned their fudiciary duty over an Internet slapfight, and openly put themselves at the complete mercy of leakers who could probably just leak the game to an army of those pissed-off fans anyway, maybe then the leakers would back off.”
I want to put you in charge of a large company and watch you speedrun burning it to the ground within, like, a day. You’re like the Bizarro John Nash.
Okay, I admit I was wrong and only said those things because I was jealous of your strategic genius. Can you elaborate on your idea to tank the value of TTWO and give leakers unilateral control of the release schedule of Rockstar’s biggest product in 13 years bring these leakers to heel?
My rationale was that the leakers were frustrated with GTA 6 taking so long to come out, so delaying the game might make them more frustrated and hurt their cause.
Of course, it is certainly likely that I am wrong and these leakers are just leaking stuff for fun or something.
I’ve never been very much into GTA, I played GTA 5 a couple of times and was actually underwhelmed. I am saving for my first console and am more excited to get RDR2 and the new Lego Skylines game than GTA 6.
If they delayed the release by a month every time a leak came out, I wonder if the leakers would change their tune.
I’d hope they’d leak double as hard honestly.

Oh. My bad, for some reason I thought that the leakers wanted the game to come out. Maybe I was wrong!

No. iIRC the leaker is pissed off at gratuitous microtransactions, live service slop and other AAA shenanigans
I see. I am not sure how this will help!

The leaker threatened to continue leaking stuff unless Rockstar promised to cut back on the crap and act in gamer’s best interests.
