GTA VI leaker Cyberleek posts a nudist clip and wants crypto votes on Lucia spoilers
Cyberleek's new GTA VI clip comes with a paid crypto poll on a Lucia prologue and a request for fans dressed as leeks outside Take-Two. Nothing official confirms it, and Rockstar still says nothing.
Somebody is holding GTA VI hostage, and the ransom note has a QR code on it.
The leaker who calls themselves Cyberleek dropped another clip today. If you're dodging leaks, skip the hidden part: If that's real, it's about as GTA as GTA gets. Rockstar hasn't confirmed a single frame of it.
The footage isn't the wild part, though. Laid over it is a message with a QR code, asking whether fans want a Lucia-led prologue. CL says they've been "evading spoilers" and can't make the call alone, so there's a poll. And to "show support", at least 10 gamers are supposed to turn up dressed as leeks outside Take-Two or Rockstar offices during working hours, holding game discs. IGN says this is the first time the leakers have asked for real-world action. Oh, and you vote by spending cryptocurrency that earns the leaker money. Most people think the whole thing is a crypto scheme, and I'm with most people.
The receipts back that up. According to GamesRadar, Cyberleek is selling ad space on future leaks for over $160,000 (GamesRadar's second report says upwards of $165,000) and has been pushing a crypto coin. Revolutionaries usually don't come with a rate card.
The official excuse is a protest against GTA VI being digital-only. Cyberleek's "commandments" go after baked-in DLC, digital pre-orders, server shutdowns that make single-player content unplayable, and the end of physical games. Fair enough, plenty of players care about that stuff. But the people who actually campaign for it want nothing to do with this. Stop Killing Games disavowed the leaker:
Using illegal means to make a point is unacceptable.
So does CL really have Lucia? An earlier clip showed a "Return to Lucia" objective pop-up, and that convinced a lot of fans the leaker has the full game. But Lucia herself hasn't shown up in any leak yet. Every second so far has been from Jason's side, mostly open-world gameplay plus two cutscene snippets with no real story details. I think they've got something real, but the Lucia prologue is a sales pitch until they actually show it. None of these claims, including the full build, is verified.
Take-Two is clearly treating it as real. The company has subpoenaed Microsoft, Discord and X/Twitter, and Xbox CTO Scott Van Vliet is on board:
we are working closely with Take-Two and Rockstar Games to support efforts to protect creative works and intellectual property.
IGN, citing Bloomberg, reports that Rockstar still doesn't know how the leaks happened or who's behind them. People inside are frustrated and management has sent staff morale-boosting emails. Rockstar and Take-Two haven't said anything publicly, and IGN has asked them for comment.
What isn't moving is the Netflix reveal. Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look lands this Thursday, August 27, stays exclusive to Netflix for six hours, then goes to YouTube and other platforms.
That's three days away. Wait for it instead of a guy selling ad slots and leek cosplay.
