I still believe the theory that the leaks are part of Rockstar’s own advertising campaign, if there a company that know they can milk their own customers aside from Nintendo, it’s Rockstar.
Why should it be an advertising campaign? Using a made-up name, filling videos with watermarks and pushing a crypto meme coin?
I don’t even see how this could be something good for them. They are going to officially show it in a week and I don’t think they need more hype than that they already have.
The very first GTA was promoted through “outrage” that they stirred up themselves. I trust their marketing department about as far as I can throw them.
They still market with outrage, but not like this I’m pretty certain. The Netflix thing I believe is on purpose to generate outrage. They had people posting all over complaining that it’s behind a paywall. You don’t get marketing that good, even if you pay for it. The leak though? It doesn’t feel like something they’d do.
