There was a ton of drama yesterday when it was (seemingly) revealed that 90 videos of early GTA 6 footage had made their way onto the internet, and various people in the games industry have been reacting to the leak ever since.
One of those people is Xbox’s Sarah Bond, who serves as a Corporate Vice President at Microsoft, and she had some sympathetic words to share for Rockstar Games in the midst of the “disheartening” situation:
“My thoughts are with the team at Rockstar Games. It can be disheartening to have a project you’ve worked hard on to delight fans revealed and critiqued before it’s ready. I know they’re creating something special and can’t wait to experience GTA 6 when it’s officially unveiled.”
Another very notable response over the weekend was from Naughty Dog co-founder Neil Druckmann, who suffered a similar leak with The Last Of Us Part 2 back in 2020. Here’s what he had to say:
“To my fellow devs out there affected by the latest leak, know that while it feels overwhelming right now, it’ll pass. One day we’ll be playing your game, appreciating your craft, and the leaks will be relegated to a footnote on a Wikipedia page. Keep pushing. Keep making art.”
Rockstar Games has not yet publicly commented on the GTA 6 leak at the time of writing, and perhaps will choose to remain quiet for the time being. It’s been speculated that it could cause a significant delay for the game’s release, as well as affect the way Rockstar Games chooses to handle certain aspects of development moving forward.
One thing’s for sure – there are going to be some somber moods at Rockstar and Take-Two this week…
