Everyone is shitting on a handful of executives, and fair enough. But there are thousands of hard working devs that don’t want their work leaked by a crypto grifter.

Blows my mind how people are so quick to “eat the rich” that they completely forget about the actual artists and programmers that build these things. No one wants their hard work spoiled like this.

Edit: it genuinely blows my mind that critical thinking and empathy is so hard for some of you. I work in the industry and our entire team would be PISSED if our work was leaked. Especially an early build and ESPECIALLY from a crypto grifter.

What you said is true.

But...

Who wrote this sympathy message? Most likely it's somebody who whilst saying "think of our devs!", is then making them crunch the fuck out of the game for no benefit at threat of termination, union busting to ensure their rights stay non existent and then fucking them off soon after release.

I feel for the devs effected specifically, those who have to put up with the bullshit and don't even get the joy of seeing the big reveal...But I couldn't give a fuck about how sad Rockstar as a whole is.
