Stop Killing Games disavows GTA 6 leak, warns followers not to fund leakers
Stop Killing Games disavowed a manifesto released by the people behind the GTA 6 footage leak and urged followers not to participate or send money. The manifesto echoes SKG policy demands — notably a call for an "offline fallback state" for singleplayer games — but SKG condemned the use of illegal means and said the leak appears genuine. The leakers are attaching crypto links and QR codes to leaked footage to solicit payments, and SKG warned the action harms thousands of developers and undermines the campaign ahead of Rockstar's official Extended Look. This matters because the leak combines policy arguments with alleged criminal activity and active monetization of stolen content.
- The leaked manifesto includes a demand that singleplayer games have an "offline fallback state" to remain playable without external servers.
- Stop Killing Games disavowed the leak, urged followers not to engage or send money, and called using illegal means unacceptable.
- The leak appears authentic, as evidenced by rapid Take-Two copyright strikes, and the leakers are promoting a memecoin by attaching crypto links and QR codes to footage.
- Stop Killing Games warned the leak harms thousands of developers and arrives just over a week before Rockstar's scheduled "Extended Look" at GTA 6.
