Twelve videos in, and the leaks are getting sloppier and stranger at the same time.
The latest one shows nightclub gameplay. It’s unremarkable stuff, honestly, the kind of footage that would barely register if it weren’t stolen. What makes it worth talking about is the watermark stamped across it: another ad for the ‘CyberLeek’ token, the cryptocurrency scheme widely believed to be the actual engine behind this whole operation.
And this time, the leaker wrote back.
The message in the watermark
“Stop the hate,” the message reads. “Channel that energy into protests. Not at those actually fighting for you. CL is taking huge risks in this battle. Leeks are free and donations cover operational costs. Using crypto is the only way. CL can’t win alone. Today is the day to show support and protest.”
That’s a defense of a token that people are spending real money on. CyberLeek has been running paid-for polls where users vote on which gameplay video comes next by sending tokens. People have spent hundreds of dollars’ worth of those tokens to cast votes.
The stated cause? Protesting an all-digital future and Rockstar’s decision not to sell GTA 6 on-disc. At least one person took that seriously enough to show up at Rockstar North in Scotland and film themselves eating a leek outside the office.
Then came the 13th video
Right after the nightclub footage, CyberLeek posted again: Jason cycling on a beach crowded with NPCs. Same watermarked memecoin ad, same crypto statement.
The pace is picking up, and the timing isn’t subtle. Netflix’s official GTA 6 reveal is two days out, the first time gameplay gets shown on Rockstar’s own terms.
What’s coming next is the part that should worry people who care about going in clean. There’s growing concern CyberLeek will start releasing story spoilers. One poll option is a prologue featuring Lucia. Every leaked video so far has shown only Jason, half of the dual-protagonist setup.
Eight straight days, and Rockstar still doesn’t know how
The videos have kept coming for eight days running, even as Take-Two subpoenaed Microsoft, Discord and X / Twitter looking for identifying information.
None of it has worked yet. According to Bloomberg, Rockstar still doesn’t know how the leaks happened or who’s behind them. There are no plans to move this week’s Netflix reveal, but Bloomberg reported internal frustration and anger, with management sending morale-boosting emails to staff.
Not everyone thinks it’s a catastrophe. Former Rockstar Games technical director Obbe Vermeij, who worked at Rockstar North from 1995 to 2009, went on social media to downplay the damage. Vermeij said the Hot Coffee scandal was far more damaging than these leaks.
He’d know. He was there for it.
Take-Two and Rockstar haven’t said a word publicly about any of this. We’ve asked both for comment.
