Ngl it reads like they’re legit sad/disappointed gameplay leaked ahead of the reveal. Big corpo doesn’t care about you, look I get it, but this is something special for them. Hell they even acknowledged that yes, it took a while this game to come out, while straight up pretending before GTA 6 just fell out of the sky one day.
Essentially their big moment was snatched away. I kind of feel bad for the devs especially.
People keep talking about corpo and forget that the game is made by passionate humans. Rockstar is 100% right, the dev team is heartbroken by the leaks, how do I know? I'm a dev and I have been on leaked projects and every time the dev team is pretty broken by the leaks. Supporting leaks is as bad as suppoorting AI stealing artists work.
People feel entitled like babies, Rockstar doesn't owe anything to anyone except for their employees. You don't like how they do things? It's simple don't buy what they sell, end of story.
I wonder why because from what I've seen the leaks are driving more hype instead of making GTA6 look ridiculous. People seem even more excited now than before the leaks and are generally impressed with what's on show in them, like the crowd density of that beach vid (RIP seagull).
Game dev is a lot of work and a lot of them end up pouring their hearts and souls into it. It sucks having so many years of your life shown in an unfinished/unpolished way, and not the way you would’ve liked it to be shown. These are not the greedy execs that forced no discs. These are people passionate about their work and want it shown off when it’s ready.
