Hacker leaks GTA VI gameplay and map to protest digital-only release — claims pre-orders are a legacy of physical game releases
AI disclosure

Summary

Hacker Cyberleek leaked gameplay clips and the entire map of GTA VI in protest of Rockstar's decision to launch pre-orders of a digital game. They claim that pre-orders were created because physical discs could run out at retailers, meaning gamers will pay more to ensure they have a copy on launch day. But because digital copies cannot sell out, there is no need for a pre-order system.
