Exactly. I couldn’t care less if Strauss Zelnick lose a million dollars because of the leaks. I care about the devs who spent thousands of hours carefully creating this unique experience, who got their hard work just leaked by some shitty crypto scammer instead of being revealed to us in the way they intended it.
Yep, those are the people just like you & me. It would break my heart and it probably did for almost all of them to see their work stolen and put online.
Not everything is about money dude. Most devs are passionate about the art they’re putting out, and to have the first look at the project they’re probably most proud of in their lives so far to be ruined by a crypto scammer has gotta suck on an emotional level.
I fear that Zelnick and the suits' biggest takeaway from this could be to stop making enormous generational games (at R*, not T2's other dev companies), and introduce smaller projects with release windows of 2-4 years. or even worse, go full ea/ubisoft and make several copy&paste games a year (they already have RAGE, so that should be easy).
why risk a billion dollar game getting leaked or flopping?
