A new insider claim says Rockstar Games hates leaks so much that the company will sometimes change announcement dates, trailer plans, and marketing schedules after information leaks online.
He said that Rockstar wants to stay in control of how and when information is revealed. According to the claim, leaks can force the studio to adjust plans to avoid giving leakers accurate information.
There is some evidence that Rockstar reacts strongly to leaks. In 2023, the first GTA 6 trailer leaked online before its official release, and Rockstar responded by releasing it earlier than planned.
The company also reportedly increased security after the huge GTA 6 development leak in 2022.
The studio is known for being extremely secretive about its biggest games, especially GTA 6.
