“Grand Theft Auto VI (Grand Theft Auto VI)” has recently experienced another large-scale leak. Not only is it suspected that a new actual video has been exposed, but even the complete map of the game has been put online. Rockstar Games has currently issued a DMCA takedown notice for some relevant content, requiring the platform to remove unauthorized material.
It’s not that I don’t want to report it, it’s that I’m afraid Rockstar will come knocking!
According to 3DM, some foreign media and websites seem to be very cautious in facing this leak. The reason is said to be related to Rockstar Games’ past strong rights protection measures against leaked content. After all, even some accounts that publicly share videos suspected of “Grand Theft Auto VI” have received DMCA processing. If the media directly incorporates leaked materials into articles, I am afraid that the next second they will receive not traffic, but a lawyer’s letter.
Rockstar doesn’t say anything, but DMCA has already taken action
At present, Rockstar and its parent company Take-Two have not officially confirmed the authenticity of this latest batch of leaked content. However, related videos have been removed from multiple platforms, which also makes the outside world more confident that the leaked materials are not just player photos or AI fakes. Some of the leaked videos include Jason driving a car, playing basketball and other gameplay, and there is even a suspected complete Leonida map circulating on the Internet.
Netflix hasn’t debuted yet, but Rockstar is busy deleting videos first
The most embarrassing thing is that Rockstar originally planned to release the new Extended Look of “Grand Theft Auto VI” through Netflix and YouTube on August 27. Players were originally planning to wait for the official announcement of more content, but now they were robbed of some of the limelight by online revelations a few days in advance. What’s even more troublesome is that this leak is also accompanied by Cyberleek’s declaration and other controversies. The matter is no longer as simple as “players peeking at the new screen.”
If even foreign media are beginning to worry about Rockstar’s legal tactics, then this “Grand Theft Auto VI” leak incident is obviously no longer an ordinary game revelation. Rockstar hasn’t officially served the food on the table yet. The Internet has opened the kitchen to take a look. Now I’m afraid the official can only prepare for the Netflix show while continuing to chase the videos flying all over the world and press the shelf button.
