I am a cynic on this specific event. I think this is all Rockstar's marketing ploy.
I don't follow any gaming-specific news, and haven't paid money for a game in over a decade. All my gaming needs are satisfied by the few FOSS games. And here I am learning of the GTA 6's approaching release. If this is marketing, Rockstar practically raped into my eyeballs the fact that their game is coming out soon. Fuck. I am not even their target audience and here I am.
I say all this is pure marketing by Rockstar. Just my gut feeling.
Honestly, I don't think so
The main reason being, that they genuinely don't need it. GTA6 is the most anticipated game this decade, probably only topped by half life 3
They already are in the news every time someone in that company farts, no leak necessary
