GTA 6 Leaker "Will Not Stop" Until Take-Two Apologize and "Do Better"

And until they sell their memecoin, apparently.

Rockstar

GTA 6 has seen its fair share of leaks over the years, and the most recent one is connected to someone called Cyberleek, a person (or a team, most likely) who has recently shared some footage from the game, and they have something to say.

Apparently, this is not just a flex to show what they can do: Cyberleek has a whole manifesto where they call out big companies for taking game servers offline and keeping the money, as well as releasing unfinished titles and employing predatory strategies.

"Publishers sell licenses and call them purchases," Cyberleek said (via PC Gamer). "They ship unfinished games and call them living services. They lock content on discs and call it DLC. They kill games and keep the money. Every year anti-consumerism tightens its grip, and every year gamers get less for what they pay."

Cyberleek listed three "commandments": no digital preorders, no single-player DLCs "already present in the base game files," and mandatory "offline fallback states" for single-player games.

And if publishers violate these "rules," they will be targeted, Cyberleek promises. They "will not stop" leaking until publishers in general and Take-Two in GTA 6's case apologize "with a concrete commitment to be better. Words are not enough; restitution is mandatory."

"Publishers should beware. If Cyberleek can reach Rockstar, no one is safe. This is a message to all big corpo: behave, or be the next target."

The commandments sound honorable, at least for players, but the image is tainted by one little detail: along with the leaks, Cyberleek promotes its memecoin, promising more footage for crypto.

Stop Killing Games, an organization that fights to save games from disappearing when publishers decide to pull the plug on the servers, doesn't find the movement helpful for this exact reason: "Do not send these people your money, no matter how much sympathy you may feel for their actions. This is illegal, and frankly, we feel for everyone at Rockstar having to go through this ordeal again, especially just over a week before Rockstar’s own official 'Extended Look' premieres."

As for the footage Cyberleek provided, it seems genuine, and the videos are already being taken down left and right. We will not publish them, but they are not hard to find. 

Be careful with your money and maybe wait until GTA 6 releases on November 19 instead.
