Although the GTA 6 leaks have caused a huge stir in the gaming world, according to a former Rockstar developer, these leaks are not as significant as they seem. Obbe Vermeij, who played a role in the development of GTA 3 and San Andreas, evaluated Rockstar Games’ strategy of staying silent and the real impact of the leaks in a recent interview.
What is the real impact of GTA 6 leaks?
Obbe Vermeij, in an interview with San In Play, stated that he does not follow the leaks closely when asked if he was aware of the big GTA 6 leak that happened in September 2022. Vermeij, “Leaks are usually not as important as people think. Millions of people are waiting for some news and Rockstar is not giving them any news” This is one of the main reasons why Rockstar prefers secrecy and why the leaks have caused such a stir.
Vermeij said he understands that big companies, especially companies like Rockstar, EA or Ubisoft, are reluctant to make any statement. “Whenever a big company says anything, it is analyzed and usually evaluated negatively,” “That’s why companies’ best option is to remain silent,” Vermeij said. “It’s sad that it’s going this way, but it’s not just their fault,” he added.
No delay due to strike! GTA 6 will be released
GTA 6 will not be affected by the player strikes and the release date of the game will not be postponed. Details in our news…
Rockstar has revealed that the GTA 6 leak was extremely disappointing, costing the company $5 million and thousands of hours of staff time to come out with early gameplay footage and screenshots. While we may have gotten a closer look at the game thanks to the GTA 6 trailer, even that may not be very exciting, according to Vermeij. Vermeij, who has been away from Rockstar for a long time, predicts that GTA 6 won’t be wildly different from GTA 5, which could disappoint some fans.
