Grand Theft Auto 6 leaker says they won’t stop until Rockstar and Take-Two apologize for ‘anti-consumerism’ and make a ‘concrete commitment to do better’

Cyberleek has claimed responsibility for the leak of Grand Theft Auto 6 and issued a manifesto criticizing various practices in the gaming industry. The manifesto argues that publishers mislead consumers by selling licenses instead of actual ownership, releasing unfinished games as "living services," and locking content on physical discs that is sold as downloadable content (DLC). Cyberleek aims to challenge what they see as a decline in consumer value in the gaming industry. The release of Grand Theft Auto 6 is anticipated in three months, and efforts are being made to obtain responses from Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games regarding the situation.

14 years after it first released, the original Red Dead Redemption’s long-absent PC port costs a ‘commercially accurate’ $50

Rockstar ported Red Dead Redemption from 2010 to the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 without enhancements, leading to mixed reactions due to its unchanged price. The game is set to debut on Steam on October 29, maintaining the same price as previous console releases. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick defended the pricing strategy as "commercially accurate" and claimed the bundle with Undead Nightmare offers "great value for consumers."
