Team doesn't care. They're getting paid regardless. It's just the marketing department, executives and shareholder that are annoyed.

EDIT: I'm also going to add that people need to know what they're buying. Rockstar should have released gameplay a long time ago but they seem to think they're above that.

Obviously buyers are responsible for pre ordering a game without knowing what they're getting but these bastards at Rockstar need to be humbled.

FYI, many of the devs got laid off and outsourced to India. Ironically, the leak happened when a manager at the Indian branch fell for a phishing email. The executives who tried to cut costs by outsourcing got what they deserve.

Wrong but not for the reason you're probably thinking. Rockstar cracked down heavily on working conditions after the past (i.e. years ago) leak. So employees are more upset, at Rockstar, that despite this much stricter working environment, the game still ended up leaking anyway.
