This.
Watched the GTA 6 Extended Look on a YouTube stream.
Streamers can stay mad about the leaks.
The official look just confirmed they were real.
Cinematics looked good.
The second you take control, the performance falls off. Hitching. Dropped frames. It struggles to keep up.
What they showed still felt like sanitized GTA Online slop with a prettier coat of paint.
A few things looked solid. Not enough to justify that price tag.
26 minutes of safe, approved footage.
Just enough to get the bootlickers wet.
For everyone else, the red flags we’ve been talking about just got confirmed.
Some people want you to think this is a morally complex situation.
I firmly disagree. It's actually very simple.
To offer some legitimate criticism. It is entirely reasonable to question how Cyberleek actions are presented as a protest against the destruction of physical media.
For the unaware. Cyberleek as asked financial compensation to share the leaks via crypto payement.
However just like anything in our capitalist society. Time is money. So asking for compensation for all the time, effort and skills for his actions could be presented as reasonable to an extent.

What is unquestionable is that : Rockstar deserve this.
Just 2 days ago, Rockstar pressured discord into giving them an entire city worth of personal and private data.
People who have nothing to do with any of this.
The company who's biggest financial project is leaking is currently in the possession of this data.
Not only is this an egregious overreach and abuse of power, the idea that this information is safe with them is preposterous.
Since when do companies have the right to wield power equal to the police, a judge, the state for the sake of a "private investigation".
I fear we are walking toward a dystopian cyberpunk like future. We are only a couple step away from corporate assassination, if this is not considered unacceptable behavior and condemned by everyone.
[...]
On a more "meta" aspect.
Rockstar is the tip of the spear for a new wave of anti-consumer and anti-employee practices in Gaming.
>Basic feature locked behind preorder.
>Destruction of physical media
>Increased pricing
>Outsourcing coding to cheaper less qualified third world country workforces
>Various abusive termination and anti syndicate activity
I could keep the list going for a while.

From what I've seen. Depsite 11 years of dev time. GTA VI isn't that different from the previous entry and doesn't offer much novelty.
Which does raise question about what where they doing for 11 years ?
Where did all the money the game costed really went to ?
Why outsource to cheaper workforce with all that time and money ?
Why is this entry so much more expensive than the last one if nothing of substance changed ?
Etc...
[...]
I want Cyberleek to win.
Not because I really care wether or not GTA VI is good or bad. I'm not the target audience.
I want him to win. Because I want Rockstar and the video game industry to lose.
Since the end of the lockdown. All of the best video games have been from indie studios or asian studios. Outsiders of the AAA western environment.
Offering richer, better, fair priced games.
And the response of these big studio is to milk the players more. Treat the customers worse. Treat their employee as expendable and replaceable.
I want the current video game industry to die.
This is not the kind of power a gaming company should have. Since they do, I hope it is costing them millions and they never find this group/person.
Since they rather put all this effort into this rather than just taking actions to be more consumer friendly. Burn that money baby.
O leaker de GTA 6 simplesmente torrou todas as criptos que ele tinha (valor superior a 1 milhão de dólares) só pra provar um ponto:
"Não se trata de dinheiro"
A Rockstar tá oficialmente FUDIDA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I may not like all Bears fans, and I may poke fun at them and talk shit and I may think they’re delusional and many other things
But calling them bad fans is just not true. They’re a great fan base, they support their team and they show up when the team sucks, which is often
Just stop talking
Gamers, notice the hypocrisy.
When Rockstar or any other gaming company uses disgusting, greedy monetization, the corporate shills say:
“If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.”
“You don’t have to play it.”
But when an individual risking everything to leak the game asks for money, suddenly he’s a “scammer.”
That double standard is institutional conditioning.
Oh I didn’t even SEE he straight up called them out on their connection to Oracle holy FUCK man
No wonder Paramount did a ChatGPT + IDF Unit 8200 ass response, he wasn’t just 100% right he went for a soft spot they didn’t like to boot
Fuck Paramount man
People will act like this material doesn’t work, but there is nothing high tech or unproven about this.
We have had the capacity to scale bioplastics for decades. We just use petroplastics because oil corporations control governments.
Real gamers support physical media and healthy relationships between devs and player's. Real gamers support piracy and leaks. You also have to purposefully seek out leaks, so that's a choice. Fuck xQc and fuck Rockstar
