The History of GTA Leaks

As of lately, leaks have been heavily affecting Rockstar Games. With major GTA 6 leaks practically forcing Rockstar to officially acknowledge the game a year before its planned reveal. The GTA 6 trailer was released almost a day early due to them. This whole situation makes me think about what measures Rockstar will take to try and prevent more leaks in the future. While the content stream revolves around GTA 6 at the moment, and I could easily garner views by making a low-effort speculation video, I'd prefer to dive into the history of leaks that Rockstar has suffered from before the GTA 6 era

There was a GTA V Xbox 360 gameplay leak of the mission "Fame or Shame" only a week or so before official release uploaded to KZbin back in 2013.

[@aethuscp]

I've seen a lot of people saying something similar. I had figured that a leak of that type existed mainly due to stores getting copies early, and I struggled to decide whether or not to count it as a true "leak." But ultimately, I decided not to. However, I saw someone say the ISO leaked, which, if that's the case, I definitely missed the mark on that one.

[@computerguy222]

@@aethuscp yes the ISO leaked and people with hacked Xbox 360s could burn a copy on a blank DVD and play the campaign

[@joshuagallagher1133]

Hope to see more videos of yours like this !

[@aethuscp]

Definitely soon!

[@aojvx]

How old are you kid and this is your first ever video on yt? Subbed

[@aethuscp]

Haha, I'm around 17! I've been making content for around 5 years. However, this is my first foray into gaming-related topics. My other channel is in my bio, but beware, it's very cringe and stuff I made when I was like 14, lol. Thanks for the sub! I appreciate it a lot.

[@yungfella666]

Gta 5 leaked out like a week before it was suppose to and I remember playing that shit like everyday before and after school just to beat it the day it came out lol

[@aethuscp]

Maybe I'll have to do a revision/correction video in the future, haha. Hopefully, you enjoyed it! And hopefully, this doesn't happen for GTA 6 for spoilers and such.

[@TheCelestial]

Good video Mate

[@aethuscp]

Thanks very much!

[@uwusup2571]

Subbed. Keep it up g

[@aethuscp]

haha thanks a lot man!

[@alienizedgodzilla]

There was definitely a leak of GTA 5 before the release date. I am talking the entire game. I know because I had a flashed Xbox and a DVD burner and was able to play it at least a week in advance.

[@Sigmundfrued]

Really?

[@aethuscp]

Is there any place I could look at to research this info? I believe you 100% because stuff like this happened all the time back in the day, but I didn't see much info about it, and I would love to see people's thoughts from back then.

[@alienizedgodzilla]

@@aethuscp nah. I just remembered it popping up on pirate bay. Both discs could be burned.

[@ISayWInEveryShort]

They need to leave rockstar alone they can fucking delay that shit from all the hacks bro

[@aethuscp]

I agree to an extent, current leaks suck for everyone, however seeing old leaks is very interesting and insightful

[@officialstackedmusic]

You deserve more views dude

[@aethuscp]

haha hopefully soon

[@Unknown_User47294]

When will u make a part 2? Well gta 6 leaks

[@aethuscp]

I'm not sure how well the current landscape would be due to copyright laws and such. I'd have to do more research onto other KZbinrs and see how their own videos fared. I'm definitely 100% down to make a GTA 6 leaks video, but going in-depth is very risky, and I don't want my channel to get terminated. However, if I'm not able to make it currently, when the game officially releases, I'm sure the leaks would be free reign at that point, and I'd be able to cover them fully in-depth.

[@Unknown_User47294]

Aight
