![]() I feel for the developers who want their games to be shown in the best light, but I don't think some leaked pictures or videos do much to dampen the excitement of playing it, in the end. #GTA 6 LEAK MOVIE#Movie trailers too often show off every setpiece or majorly foreshadow plot twists. Game leaks usually just give me a tiny peek into how a game was made, but they can't possibly replicate the experience of actually playing. I'm actually way less leery of a leaked game trailer or footage that was never meant to be public than I am the official trailers for movies I'm excited to see. ![]() ![]() Would life really be so much worse if, instead of this leak, our first look at GTA 6 was a cinematic trailer released six months from now featuring a flyover of the in-game Everglades with a voiceover talking about the American Dream? -Ted Litchfield, Associate Editor "It won't affect how I view the game" Whether I hear about the next Mass Effect game tomorrow or in five years' time makes no difference to me, because I am a modern warrior monk with diversified interests and hobbies. I think it speaks to having an unhealthy, fandomy, always-on obsession with media properties, and I would recommend chilling out and being normal about it instead. The existence of an audience to drive these big leaks is concerning to me. Morgan Park, Staff Writer "Patience is a virtue" I now know that you can rob diners and drive cars in GTA 6. I should have expected that it wouldn't be all that interesting. I watched the GTA 6 footage as soon as I could. Then, once in a blue moon, a major leak comes along from some random forum poster that's way too intriguing to ignore. In watching the ongoing arms race to be the top leaker, I've started to routinely ignore "breaking" leaks of vague release dates or planned features. A trailer and game name two days before it was going to be announced anyway? Cool. Not only can they mislead or distort our expectations of games, but what actually leaks is so often uninteresting. I really don't like the culture that's built up around extracting any and all details about games years before they're real (often shared with the goal of chasing clout). I'm largely in the leaks are boring camp. ![]() Lauren Morton, Associate Editor "Even GTA 6 leaks are boring" I'm reminded of Double Fine (intentionally) releasing a reel of their bug triaging meetings recently and, having been in bug triage myself, found it endearing to see developers laugh and sigh together before marking something "known shippable."Ī leak like this is painfully different from developers willingly curating a goof reel of bugs, but I hope players find it equally humanizing. #GTA 6 LEAK SOFTWARE#Every piece of software we use, be it entertainment, banking, or medical, is all held together by hope and shoestrings. Most players don't fully understand how iterative game development is, so the granularity of debugging tools and test cases shown in these clips will be a revelation. Naïve of me, maybe, to hope for the internet at large to empathize with something instead of thoughtlessly critique it, but I have seen a fair number of YouTube and Reddit commenters genuinely intrigued by this massive peek behind the curtain. ![]()
