No.

>>746071717
90% of the people buying the game don't give a shit about any of this and very likely don't even know what's "happening". None of this was ever going to affect their decision.
The only ones left are people like us who are plugged into shit. At the end of the day, instead of seeing a trailer or two across a six month span, "NEW LEAK" is being shoved in our faces every other fucking day. We're not being allowed to ignore it. I haven't watched any of them but it's still kept near the front of my mind because it's being spammed across every fucking website.
The game is literally too big to fail so why wouldn't they dick around a bit and see what happens? This is numarketing, just like ugly sonic.

>>746071353
Sure, Take2 and Rockstar are getting random people's personal data from Discord servers just for a marketing stunt then.

Don't really care enough about GTA to buy the games, but I'm really enjoying the leaks. Partly to see TECHNOLOGY but also because this is the first time in a long time where the leaker isn't some incompetent scriptkiddie Discord retard. He's a little bit of a faggot dripfeeding this shit, but hey this is t he hypest game of all time so he's allowed to have some fun I guess.

Ugly Sonic was 100% real, they had shit made and even the movie kinda alludes to his old design in a bomb scene. Companies can just be retards anon.

Ugly Sonic was corpo going full retard, but then making the super rare realization of 'Oh shit, this is going to bomb if we don't course correct ASAP'

100% this, because like that one ex-dev said, rockstar ultimately doesn't care if a small group of terminally online users get leaks/spoilers, because 90% of the playerbase for GTA6 is normies who watch football on sunday and watch tiktok

They're gonna exercise their legal muscle, but at the end of the day, R* is gonna make tons of money, and virtually nobody is gonna cancel preorders due to this (if anything, cyberleek shit is gonna encourage people to keep their preorders for november)

that is, unless he actually releases a PC build. If he actually does that, you could actually see a disaster the size of Cyberpunk's launch. PC players getting a mostly-full build, WITH code and debug symbols, AND for free? Even the normies wouldn't be able to ignore when all their youtubers and tiktok influencers are playing it. You'll for sure see a 6000% uptick in people googling "how to open torrent"

But nah, leek dude is just looking to make some money, and he's gonna scalp the desperate GTA fans who "wanna stick it to rockstar", only to pay some random jeet hundreds of dollars, while normies at large don't give a fuck
>>
>>746082329
>forever
Statute of limitations doesn't apply here?
>>
>>746075526
Rockstar is obsessed with trying to monetize the hype though, also Cyberleek is for some reason doing their best to not be a scam (burning dev coins), even though getting short-span attention like this is THE best excuse for them to use it for a pump and dump.
Leaker criticizing Rockstar is still in-character, and it seems like it's just their way of painting leaker as a gamer nerd jackasses who larps as Robin Hood but in reality they are a crypto faggot.
imo the only tell that is not a marketing stunt is their subpoenas, and despite my claim I don't think they are willing to be known for stalking everyone that's in GTA related discors servers, just to make their marketing stunt seem real.

This shit never happens because leaking the build would mean the end of his short-lived fame, even if he kept it past the game release he could still be the guy that owns alpha build of the game, if he wasn't this much of a desperate attention whore, he would've leaked that shit on day one.
In very very low chance he might leak it as the final crescendo but Im pretty sure he is going to get caught for some dumb reason like getting catfished by Rockstar pretending to be his female "fan" before all of that happens.
The best we could hope for is his friend who also has access to the build leaking everything on a whim, just like how hl2 build got leaked.

I´m conviced so far that he´s in cahoots with R* or straight up working for them.
No build leaked, no harm done. All what he´s doing is free publicity for the game. Normies gobble it up and get hyped.

For me, he´s looking like a undercover shill.

>>746083583
Rockstar subpoenaing thousands of Discord accounts for "free marketing" Seems like a bit of a stretch.

Rockstar are a publically traded company, they have a legal responsibility to maximize shareholder value. Given the leaks tanked the company's value by 2 billion that would be serious criminal investigations right there. I don't see why an executive would risk 15 years for a dumb marketing stunt.

Nigger do you understand what you're arguing? There's no marketing here because this wasn't Rockstar's doing, nobody in the company is wanting to go jail over some gay LARP.

Deliberately sabotating the value of your own stock is a breach fiduciary duty and because Rockstar wants to make money on the game, meaning their stock value goes back up which would mean they committed blatant market manipulation. That's a crime and the feds will tear your asshole open for it.

If Rockstar were behind this then they deliberately leaked their own game under false pretenses, damaging shareholder confidence all the while sociliting crypto funds from unsuspecting members of the public in order to leak some faggy ass 2 minute clips of nothing in order to drum up hype. Dumb fucking nigger. Nobody at the marketing department is like "Yeah! I know a super cool way to market GTA VI, we'll do it by committing as many felonies as possible!"

And somehow you find this absurd crime spree by the largest gaming company in the world more believable than some faggot who probably had connections to company who's deliberately leaking shit for his own self gain?

not the subject we're on, if you want to talk about that let's conclude the other thing

it's an ad campaign, you may not agree with that but as long as you're arguing in a fictitious realm about how they're not allowed to do one, you're agreeing that it is one
and that's fine i'm not dunking on you that you think it's an ad campaign, for all intents and purposes, our discussion, we are going with it's an ad campaign

wow! it's shit! i mean the product is shit too, but it turns out the campaign is shitty!
companies do that, and it's not illegal, they thought it would work
did it land? people are talking about it!
