![]() After all, I spent years hyping myself up for a new GTA, only to feel let down time and time again. ![]() Maybe I can’t speak for all GTA fans, but if anything, I’m more excited to see what Rockstar has to show us. Will it ultimately dampen the reception of the official announcement trailer (whenever it drops), though? I don’t think so. Is it frustrating to the marketing team who likely spent hours upon hours into developing the perfect plan to showcase the game? Yes. Simply put, planned or unplanned, people are talking about the game. In the case of the leaked gameplay of GTA VI, especially, I think Rockstar Games will feel the benefits. They say that all publicity is good publicity, and I tend to agree for the most part. Therefore, while having your security measures breached and pre-Alpha gameplay leaked to the internet is far from an ideal scenario, at least the incident has fans excited about a new title from the company. As a result, Red Dead Online swiftly died and fans moved on.Īll of this resulted in Rockstar Games as a whole beginning to garner a negative reputation. However, it didn’t take long for the company to abandon updating Red Dead in favor of returning back to bringing players more GTA Online content. For example, 2018’s critically-acclaimed Red Dead Redemption IIstill stands out as one of the best in all of modern gaming. That isn’t to say that Rockstar hasn’t had any recent successes. Even without the glitches, none of the games featured improvements significant enough to warrant a remaster, and the graphics look arguably worse than their PS2 counterparts. Jokes aside, the move felt like a lazy cash-grab. The abysmal “remaster” of GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas came packed so full of bugs, the collection of games needed an exterminator instead of a simple patch update. ![]() To make matters worse, last year, Rockstar Games unveiled the mess that was Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy. In return, fans began to turn their back on them as well. By capitalizing on micro-transactions in the form of Shark Cards on GTA Online, meanwhile making zero announcements about a new game in the franchise, it seemed like the company was turning its back on the fans. Once seen as a company that set a gold standard for video games, Rockstar was becoming just like every other major AAA developer. With each passing year and each reincarnation of Grand Theft Auto V, public opinion about Rockstar Games started to take a nose dive. There’s no better way to give your fans the middle finger in gaming than microtransactions Therefore, as hot of a take this may be, I believe Rockstar Games owes the hacker who leaked Grand Theft Auto VI a thank you. Now, we have (albeit not representative of the final product) a better grasp at what the game will actually entail, and something solid to have hope for. With some fans setting the bar too high and other fans fearing a potential flop, there was absolutely nothing solid to base a foundation on for the title. In fact, it wasn’t until this year that Rockstar themselves even confirmed its existence at all.Įven with new rumors circulating about the game’s content, player expectations for GTA VI were all over the place. For years, we sat around waiting for and wondering if there ever even would be a GTA VI. However, from a GTA fan’s perspective, the leaked Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay is an early Christmas present. So, let’s take the Grand Theft Auto leak away from the legal perspective and examine how Rockstar Games can benefit through the lens of a fan. Though I wouldn’t dare make such a claim without further points to support it. In fact, I believe the leak may even benefit Rockstar and help build further hype for its next game.

On the evening of Thursday 22 September 2022, the City of London Police arrested a 17-year-old in Oxfordshire on suspicion of hacking, as part of an investigation supported by the National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU). ![]()
