hah ! I've been having a good chuckle about this since yesterday. Watching videos of their trained woke sheep on Youtube.
"But what if it damages R* and they don't launch GTAVI?"
"But what if they decide not to release because of this?"
Man people are soooo dumb. It won't hurt them AT ALL as history has shown. HL2 leaked before launch, one of the biggest selling games of all time. So did Doom 3, didn't hurt sales one bit. Like after spending millions a company is going to throw their toys from the pram and not release a game
Doesn't surprise me they are throwing their weight around. That said, it does kind of serve people right using something like this as news and earning money from the views etc.
Oh and Crysis 2 leaked too. In an almost complete state (the sounds had not been allocated properly yet).
