Doomed behaviourI am legit shocked at what is going on with these GTA 6 leaks and the idea they’ve got a copy of the game. I assume it’s going to turn out the leakers/hackers were just a bunch of teenage kids, but they are so beyond screwed I really feel bad for them. Rockstar is going to come down on them like a ton of bricks. The fact that they’re trying to make money out of it too, with the poll for what’s next, is going to make things even worse, from a legal point of view.
These kids are going to jail for a long time, and all just so they can reveal that GTA 6 has basketball in it two weeks before it’s officially announced. In answer to yesterday’s Inbox, yes online fans are too negative. But they also have such a skewed view of the world that it’s doing them real harm.
The hackers have just ruined their lives, forever, but they’re encouraged by legions of conspiracy theory loving ‘fans’ that egg on leakers and who care more about spoiling every little thing about a game before it comes out than they do about playing it. Like GC said in their Wolverine preview, it’s not healthy, and it’s only getting worse.Colm
Executive powerI doubt anyone is surprised by this EA exec mocking people that are going to lose their jobs but it’s the mix of evil and incompetence, in so many positions of power nowadays, that gets me. I can guarantee you I won’t be buying a single EA game anymore though. I don’t care how good that Star Wars game looks, and it does look very good, because I wouldn’t even dream of giving EA money now.

The problem is, because their sports games are so popular, that it doesn’t matter what I do. It doesn’t even matter if there’s a lot of people like me, because there’s far, far more people that won’t care/don’t know and just want to play their football games.
As the saying goes: ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.’ We’re only talking video games and yet we’re also talking about thousands of people’s jobs and terrible people getting even richer and more powerful. It’s no good.Taylor Moon
Game of the half yearI’ve just finished 007 First Light and want to say what an amazing game it is. I enjoyed every single thing about it and found it to be pretty much flawless, and I wouldn’t normally say I was a big Bond fan or anything.
The story, the acting, the graphics, the action, the stealth, everything is top notch. IO Interactive should feel very proud of themselves for what they’ve made. I just feel sorry for it being released this year because it’s never going to win Game of the Year with GTA 6 coming out.
Maybe it never would’ve, because I think some people just assumed it’d be bad, because it’s a licensed game, but I promise you it is top notch. Hopefully we’ll get a sequel, but it’ll have to be going some to beat this.Korey

Beneath the wrappingI watched the leaked Grand Theft Auto 6 footage, but only for about a minute. Doing this felt like illicitly peeking at a present before I’d received it. With regards to all of these leaks and previews and trailers, I can’t help but think that they threaten to dilute the launch day experience, not just for GTA 6 but for any game.
People, myself included, should learn to wait and ignore the hype. Keeping yourself in the dark about a highly anticipated game makes the experience of playing and exploring its world so much better.
