Update:
They’re not just hunting the leaker.
Take-Two got court approval to pull personal info (emails, phone numbers, IPs, device IDs) from ~100k Discord users across multiple servers... including DarkViperAU’s 90k-member server.
Most of those people are complete bystanders who had nothing to do with the leaks.
A multi-billion dollar company turning Discord into a mass surveillance tool the second their IP gets threatened.
And remember… once they have that personal data, there’s no real guarantee they can even protect it.
These big companies get breached regularly. When (not if) it happens again, your info is just sitting there waiting to be leaked.
Greed + power = this exact playbook.
Rockstar just forced Discord and Microsoft to hand over personal information... real names, emails, phone numbers, IPs, device IDs... to hunt down the GTA 6 leaker.
A multi-billion dollar company turning tech platforms into informants and doxxing tools the second someone pisses them off.
This is the same company that milked a dead game for over a decade with GTA Online’s predatory microtransactions, shark cards, and endless FOMO.
The same company that now wants $100 for a digital code that can expire and be revoked whenever they feel like it. You’re not buying a game. You’re renting it.
Now they’re doing the exact same playbook with GTA 6 digital-first, physical “disc” that’s just a download code, Ultimate Edition paywalls for content already in the files.
CyberLeek has been leaking gameplay, the full map, flying, driving, shooting, and even footage that proves they have a playable build. And instead of fixing their own house, Rockstar goes nuclear on privacy.
Yes, I know the fanboys are about to flood in screaming “but it’s theft!!”
I don’t care.
I’ve been calling out the red flags on this company for years and I’ll keep doing it.
Greed has consequences.
