Cyberleek launches three requests to Rockstar and Take-Two: “It’s not just a leak, but a claim”
Cyberleek, the account that released the stolen gameplay and the image of the map of GTA 6 in August, formulated three requests to Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive, claiming that they are the minimum acceptable conditions before stopping attacks. The most striking aspect is that, beyond the responsible subject, most fans of Grand Theft Auto would agree with their claims and claims. Cyberleek argues that no one should pay for a game through an online store before its release and reviews, and that if publishers want your money in advance, they can return to producing records as in the old days. They also argue against the fake single-player DLC, that publishers should stop charging you content already in the files of the game you purchased. Finally, they ask for preservation: single-player games should be released with an offline fallback to ensure that they work even if servers are turned off, in the same spirit of the battle that conservation supporters are leading for abandoned games like The Crew. The complaints are real. GTA 6 will not have any physical disk, publishers effectively block content behind paywall that some players suspect were present on the disk all the time and the games are deleted with the kept money and the closed servers. This is the same concern that keeps Grand Theft Auto Online players nervous about their community servers. Cyberleek’s three demands, combined with a hack and a memecoin that nobody asked for, are the expression of a popular opinion. The problem is the sender. What you're doing is still wrong. It is a group that stole movies, threatens to continue to hack anyone who violates his rules, insists that a simple excuse is not enough because "restitution is mandatory" and finances the whole campaign with a cryptocurrency called $CYBERLEEK. People who ask Take-Two to stop dealing with fans as a revenue stream are at the same time trying to use those fans for a quick cash gain. Will it work? Probably not. Take-Two is a public company and does not negotiate with hackers and data breachers because this would open a Pandora jar, inviting others to try to do the same. Do not expect excuses, concrete commitments or compensation. What will happen here will be lawyers at continuous work, removal notifications everywhere and silence, which is already exactly what is happening. Extortion is a terrible delivery system for a wish list, although the wish list is somehow agreed. By boiling reasonable demands on thefts, threats and crypto scratch, Cyberleek is not promoting any of these things. He's poisoning them. Put an end to preorders before you see the game, a real conservation and honest DLC are conversations that industry has to face. Relying everything to a hacker with a memecoin allows publishers to clean up. La strategia di Cyberleek è un campanello d'allarme per tutti noi. Se il gioco, come sembra, sarà esclusivamente digitale senza la possibilità di recupero dei dati o attivazione di contenuti offline (almeno per chi non vuole pagare costi aggiuntivi), e se l'editor si limiterà a "bloccare" contenuti già presenti sul disco, questo è esattamente quello che teme ogni fan di GTA. Il riferimento alla battaglia per i giochi abbandonati, come quella legata ai sostenitori della conservazione, fa capire che questa non è solo una questione di un singolo gioco, ma di una crescente preoccupazione verso le pratiche aziendali nel settore dei videogiochi.
