And then delayed GTA again, yet claimed that firing developers would not affect release dates

Little late posted, as the data is released now. And there is not much data, other than numbers how much Rockstar made money (especially off GTA 5). And because Rockstar made so much money, their stock prices went up with a value of about 1 billion USD.

hackers wasting their talents on petty things like this. they should dig up evidence of corruption and what the rich are doing behind closed doors and such and demand ransom for that. then release it anyway after getting paid and get lauded as heroes on top of getting money.

We all know at this stage and nothing has happened. We have the panama papers and the epstein files, what more do we need?

i think the rich are doing so horrible stuff that if exposed it will either finally be the last straw, or it will expose that we dont deserve to live as species if it isnt.

Pfahaha like anything will happen. We see the crimes the rich commit yet there's no consequences.

I have completely given up on GTA 6, so this means nothing.

Oh no the game might be spoiled for me before it comes out!?!

I already get to wait for a PC port.

Who gives a fuck at this point.
