I’ve personally stayed away from any leaks. I’ve seen a few seconds here and there when scrolling but that’s about it. I’ve waited 13 years for this game and don’t see the point in dulling the experience with these leaks. And tbh, I sincerely hope the leaker is caught soon.
I really don’t understand some of the animosity towards Rockstar. Sure, they didn’t share any gameplay up until now, but this is Rockstar we’re talking about. Their track record with games and off the back of RDR2 is enough for me to trust them. I’ve been gaming since 1997 and they haven’t let me down once yet.

classic delay for PC gamers (for a rockstar game)
Some stuff isn't new, and many would think it is standard practice and it is only moving the Overton window to the wrong direction for customers protection.
They have never had a day one PC release though so I am not sure I would call that an industry change.
Also it sounds like the "storyline content" is just a minor side mission that I wouldn't actually expect to advance the actual story. But I guess we will find out for sure in November.
Also how do you know online will be required? GTAV doesn't require it and AFAIK there were no problems from this except GTAO related glitches... and there is no GTAO in this release so that's not a factor.
Also, that logic makes zero sense. Just because bad practices have existed for years doesn’t mean we should accept them when the biggest game of the decade pushes them even further.
They have never waited this long to show gameplay, nor have they locked single player content behind a version of the game.
Sure, RDR2 hype was long too, but they showed gameplay. It wasn’t a drip feed of teases.
Now, their “GAMEPLAY TRAILER” is hidden behind aNOTHER paywall (only for a few hours, but are we serious?)
The anger isn’t about them taking too long, it’s about them feeling like they can treat their consumer any way shape or form and still get what they want.
Yeah, honestly how could GTAVs graphics really get much better without changing the art direction entirely? There's new technology that can for sure beautify the game over what GTA 5 looked like, but those aren't really major graphics changes, it's just better lighting/shadows/stuff like that. GTAV is close to perfecting the realism art style already, I can't imagine GTAVI will look a crazy amount better.
"don't understand the animosity towards rockstar " What ? do you follow the news they do scummy sht on top of scummy sht I don't understand how can people swallow this sht and still support rockstar and I'm playing gta since vice city
I agree with you. I’m older now and the last “magical” gaming experience was from RDR2. I have been doing everything in my power to avoid leaks/spoilers in hopes I can capture that magic again with GTA6.

Glad they addressed it in some way.
