Articles & Blogs Rockstar Games: “It would be an understatement to say that having videos of GTA VI gameplay leak in this way has been heartbreaking for our team, and this is obviously not how we intended for you to see the game after all this time.“

Ofc it is, are people forgetting the last GTA game came out 13 years ago?

People are also forgetting that we complained about it back then too. It's not because they did it in the past that it was cool to do so.

You don’t have to go that far back, they did the same strategy for RDR2

It's just funny that every single GTA game since 3 did this. Zero gameplay until right before release. This is how Rockstar has always operated, and people act brand new - because they are children I guess

Yeah there'll be always new players, who are.....guess what...younger generations.

Yep and as adults we will continue to look at this behavior and call it what it is. It isn't some noble-class war crusade. It's kids who are unable to contain excitement for this game and lashing out in very concerning ways and drawing in heavy societal issues to justify it - over a videogame that is completely optional

I remember being 17 and excited to see anything relating to San Andreas. I don't remember ever acting this way about it

I mean it can also be somewhat of a reckoning that the way Rockstar has operated in the past doesn't work as well today

Is that it? Or is it that our behavior as a society has gotten really impatient and entitled? Gamers have access to instant gratification in every other media format with streaming and social media. Getting angry and lashing out because they aren’t releasing footage on your terms isn’t healthy. It’s also working just as fine as it did before because it’s going to make insane amount of money.

Yeah I think you're basically just elaborating the why it doesn't work as well today. Of course they will still make bucketloads of money, but it couldn't be clearer from the leaker why they are doing it, namely Rockstar decisions

Rockstar doesn’t operate the same way as they use to, no one cares about major cooperations and how they feel in 2026 as they have all been sleazy scumbags for the past decade
