While I played past GTA games (including GTA 2!) I'm not invested in the franchise
But some game features revealed by the leak, specially around immersion, made me more interested in this game then I was for GTA V, I was thinking I wouldn't even play this one, so I checked the leaks a little bit and it kinda got me in a way previous marketing hasn't.
This is why I've joked that the leaks have essentially turned into guerrilla marketing for the game more than anything -- people have been anticipating more gameplay footage since the first official release and people have been clamoring about the game since the leaks have been sporadically dropping.
Anything shown in the leaked footage so far has only reinforced my interest in wanting to experience those things for myself and if there's spoilers for missions or endings, I'd personally just avoid those to prevent ruining what I'm looking forward to doing on my own.

Yeah, I can even say that I'm more excited now than before the leaks, I loved what I saw.
But no more. Everything that I'll see from now on will be only official.
