Group Behind GTA 6 Leak Demands End to Digital Pre
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Several new video clips of Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay have leaked online via a group called Cyberleek, just days before the official Netflix-hosted reveal event.
- Cyberleek claims the leak is a protest against monetization practices in gaming, including digital pre-orders, paid DLC, and the selling of digital licenses instead of full ownership.
- The group has issued a manifesto demanding video game publishers adhere to three "commandments," including banning digital pre-orders before independent reviews and prohibiting "fake single-player DLC" that locks content behind extra purchases.
- Cyberleek specifically targets GTA 6's digital-only pre-orders and the $20 price difference for the Ultimate Edition, which locks additional content, framing these as anti-consumer practices.
- The group warns Rockstar and other publishers that they will continue disruptive actions publicly until receiving a formal apology and commitment to change, rejecting private settlements.
