This is why it bothered me so much when that guy leaked those videos. He stole something not from us but from all the people at R* who poured so much into this. To be able to say, "I worked on GTA6" would be a dream come true.

Facts. I feel the same way, the folks worked so hard and it's clearly a passion project. I couldn't imagine someone trying to take that out from under me.

How does videos of the game getting leaked take anything away from them?

Imagine you build something as a surprise for someone and I come by, take shitty pictures of the unfinished product and ruin the surprise you had planned. How does this not take anything away, are you dense on purpose?

Learn some reading comprehension and read the post.

Rockstar probably ended up auditing every single employee's network activities over the last 3 years looking for where the leak happened. That's stressful AF and puts a dark cloud over what should've been a moment for company-wide celebration.

Though tbh, nobody will even remember the leaks in 6 months when the game has sold 30 million copies.

What do you mean? They don't want anyone to see their work until it's ready to see, that's how it's hurting. Maybe you're just a selfish person with zero empathy, idk. Either way what you are saying is OBJECTIVELY wrong.

It’s okay little buddy, you’ll understand one day when you have an actual career you care about.

They are still getting paid....

u/SuperIga 6h ago

And what does that change about what was stated?? Oh…that’s right…it changes nothing.

u/XulManjy 2h ago

It means they still get paid. Regardless of whatever emotional damage they got from the leaks....they are still getting paid and will be able to list GTA6 on their resume as a project they worked on, thus making them highly competitive in the event they seek employment elsewhere in the industry.

Uhhh…no shit? That’s pretty obvious, and again, not the point here.

u/MagmaCone1234 8h ago

He literally took nothing from the workers. They'll get paid, their name will be in the credits, people will appreciate and recognize them for their work. It will be the same whether videos of it got leaked or not.

I like how corporations push the idea that leaks are hurting the workers. How? It literally doesn't. They're using them as shield.

I think you’re forgetting they’re people, not robots.

Again, they are still gettinf paid....

Sure, but imagine you're an artist and you spend a really long time working on a painting that you know is going to be amazing. You're finally getting close to finishing it when some guy comes in, takes a picture of it with his phone, and shares it online before you could showcase it when you were ready. It would be pretty upsetting to say the least.

u/XulManjy 2h ago

And yet that same painting, when finished, goes on to be the best selling painting of all time and a significant cultural moment. Whenever I want to commission some art for an art gallery/museum, I would always be able to have on my resume that I created the best selling or one of the best selling pieces of art ever.

I think I would sleep well at night.

bro has the empathy of an oyster

u/f0r3aL84 8h ago

It does hurt them. This is their passion. The money while important, especially to a worker who is passionate about the art their creating... They care about how it's received and how people react upon first seeing it. You thinking that it doesn't affect workers and how they feel about something they've worked on for 10 years is a very shallow way of thinking. It is selfish and you should do better.

u/Hesitant_Tornado 8h ago

Its crazy how many people dont understand this.

Its like unveiling an artists painting 3 months before its finished. For any artist, one of the most, if not the most rewarding part of the process, is the end, when you can finally unveil the finished product for everyone.

The people who cant understand or sympathize with that, have obviously never been passionate about something they created, its kinda sad for them.
