It was one of the most important leaks in history, not only because of the amount of information stolen, but because of who they did it to. GTA VI was fully exposed on the internetalthough Rockstar already made it clear that nothing was going to affect their work.
Now, during the last call with investors revealed by VGC, Strauss Zelnick has reiterated that same idea. The CEO of Take-Two has explained that the objective has not changed and the course remains.
“Regarding the leak, it was terribly unfortunate, and we take those kinds of incidents very seriously. There’s no evidence of any assets being stolen, which is good, and certainly the leak won’t have any influence on development or anything.” like that, but it’s terribly disappointing and forces us to be ever more vigilant about cybersecurity issues.”
Taking advantage of the occasion, Take-Two has updated the sales figures for GTA V, which already exceed the barrier of 170 million copies sold since its release in 2013. As for the hacker responsible for the GTA VI leak, his future is yet to be decided.
The information published from the United Kingdom speaks of a young man of just 17 years who managed to break into Rockstar’s computer systems with just a mobile. He has been linked to a cybercriminal organization and is awaiting trial.
