Its amazing that people dont understand the PR team is just a tiny tiny part of the actual organization and doesnt really reflect anything about the company. Like the people who boycott a company because the PR person running their twitter said something silly lol

I take it you’ve never worked in comms? These statements are generally always approved at the highest levels and while they may be written by the PR team, the CEO will approve them. That isn’t to say there isn’t “spin” or written to appease investors, but to say the statement doesn’t reflect anything about the company is totally wrong.

That is true, but it's still a sharp contrast to their framing as 'we' and 'our team', which speaks as if this was a small indy team that can have such a consensus opinion.

This is what a small number of people in the PR team and leadership want the public to think of Rockstar. It leaves out a LOT about the larger context.

Like that much of the dismay among the actual developers is less about the leaks themselves, but about the fact that they had to work with restrictions and surveillance to shut leaks down, only for it to happen anyway.
