MODERATORS
They’re going to do so many lay-offs the instant the game is released.
Assholes.
Poor union busters.
ROFL, fuck them!
The intended game experience of paying out of your ass constantly, yes.
Maybe that is the spoiler, they thought of revealing it once you were inside and couldn't go back.
They’re unfortunately going to make $7.8B instead of $7.9B…
I wish they’d actually suffer enough to change for the better.
If the leaker had a build, they would have released it by now to deal this damage.
They appear to have a build. In one of the videos, they are shooting at a wall, spelling out "LEEK".
That not how hostage situations work.
Its not a hostage situation, its an attention seeking situation. Any real leaker just dumps the game instantly.
Not of that leaker is shilling their own cryptocurrency.
That's assuming that the Real Time evidence is fake. I doubt it, T2 is going after this guy with all thier power.
Im still convinced its marketing now, whether the leak was intentional or not.
Theres no such thing as bad attention in 2026. All that matters is that this leak is viral, and now everyone is talking about GTA.
And less people talking about their union busting.
Precisely.
I actually forgot about this.
I'm doing research and development for an even smaller world's smallest violin, it's not done yet but they're welcome to pre-order it
The intended experience of a wonderfully detailed open world interrupted often by annoying phone calls...
lol I never planned on playing it so no disappointment here cockstar.
Oh so heartbreaking. In the end it’s just free marketing and buzz for them, so I’m sure they’re just beside themselves.
Oh no!
Anyways....
