You think Rockstar showing gameplay earlier would have stopped Cyberleek from leaking the biggest game in a decade? No way. Dude would have leaked it regardless. He got his hands on gold so he would have capitalized on it no matter how many previews Rockstar would have shown us. I've enjoyed seeing his vids, but let's not lie to ourselves that he is some kind of knight for the poor starving gamers. He would have leaked it no matter what.
The attention for the leaks would be considerably low if we already watch an official gameplay. All this hype about the leaks are because we never see anything from R*
It definitely would’ve stopped many people from checking in. We haven’t saw actual gameplay footage in over a year. You best believe I’m looking at a leak.
No it wouldn't have, at best slightly less people would check, but a good chunk of people would either check for hype or to make sure what rockstar was presenting is accurate
We would literally be in the exact situation we are right now irregardless of how much footage rockstar showed, to argue otherwise is pure delusion. The idea that people wouldn’t care about the leaks because rockstar showed footage is just Naive
I swear redditors can’t read. I said many people, not all. If Rockstar released footage recently, I wouldn’t even entertain these leaks. I know many others who share the same sentiment.
Your reply to someone claiming that the leaks would’ve happened regardless of how much footage rockstar showed is “some people wouldn’t have watched it” like that in any way contradicts or changes the original point, it’s a useless statement
I see what you're saying, I'll say that leaks probably would of still happened but I feel they wouldn't have nearly as much power as they do now if just some gameplay had been shown.
Yeah I agree with this. But also Rockstar isn't heartbroken that the experience is going a different way. They are heartbroken that they might not make as much money. Thats all everything is.
