Ex-GTA dev explains Rockstar silence over GTA 6 leaks Rockstar GamesA former Rockstar Games dev has explained why the studio stays silent on GTA 6 leaks, noting that the leaks aren\u2019t as \u201cimportant\u201d as fans may think. Over the last few years, there have been plenty of leaks and claims made about Grand Theft Auto 6. Many of these have, of course, not been true, but there have been a handful of concrete ones as well. Back in 2022, Rockstar was hit with a massive set of leaks revealing early testing of the highly-anticipated game. Those leaks revealed the game\u2019s two protagonists, some mission features, and another look at the wider Vice City setting. That was followed up with the first trailer being leaked hours before it was meant to go live. The GTA developers and Take-Two \u2013 their publishers \u2013 have confirmed that the big leaks haven\u2019t had a big impact on the game\u2019s release, despite the devs taking a big morale hit. Well, former Rockstar developer Obbe Vermeij, who worked on every GTA game between GTA III and Chinatown Wars believes the leaks aren\u2019t that important. \u201cThe leaks are usually not as important as people think. It\u2019s just because there are millions of people waiting for news and Rockstar doesn\u2019t give them any news,\u201d Vermeij told the SanInPlay YouTube channel back on July 23. Timestamp of 31:00 \u201cBy the way, the reason they do that, I can totally understand it because whenever a big company says anything \u2013 Rockstar, EA, Ubisoft, whoever \u2013 it gets analyzed and it often gets spun negatively,\u201d the former GTA dev continued. \u201cIt turns into a negative thing. So from their point of view, their best bet is just to stay quiet. It\u2019s a shame it\u2019s gone that way but it\u2019s not just their fault, its the fault of the public because everyone is just attacking the big companies all the time. So, they\u2019re just better off being quiet.\u201d GTA fans are getting pretty tetchy waiting for further details with some believing Rockstar are still dropping hints in GTA Online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
