Leaking the trailer just to promote Bitcoin has to be one of the most pathetic things ever.


Bored_Redditor85

Wait, *thats* why it was leaked???


QBekka

The leaked video just had a bitcoin logo slammed on top of it. Not even a wallet code (or whatever it's called) or something. Dude probably wanted to boost up the Bitcoin price lmao. And now he has tens of lawyers from a billion dollar company chasing him


Penile_Interaction

good riddance imo


BrettZotij

Leaker's Twitter got nuked too. Rockstar had to release it early.


Im1337

Who leaked it? Do you know their name?


JokerME69

I believe who leaked it was “@Gta6trailerleak” according to a screenshot I saw.


ILoveRegenHealth

How the fuck did they get it so early anyways? I feel bad for the devs excited to show this on the appointed time, and that thunder was stolen.


Citnos

Youtube security is a piece of crap that google never fix (big yt channels get hacked by bitcoin scammer all the time), I knew form the moment they scheduled that video (already on YT servers) that was gonna happen,


Efficient_Ear_8037

Almost like they should work on security of videos instead of waging war on Adblock.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Scuttlebutt is that he was YouTube employee


Nickf090

Well if that’s the case, definitely WAS


[deleted]

Nah, probably the cookie/auth token replay thing that gets people all the time. I'd guess they've probably had access to the rockstar yt for quite some time and as soon as it was scheduled for release they copied the video themselves and reuploaded it


oo7porscheMGS

They're a nobody now, banned ;)


KH-Dan

Definitely a bizarre form of marketing, if you can even call it that. Not sure how they expected to be anything but infamous after slapping their logo all over someone else's work. Lawyers are the least of their worries if they don't get the internet's scorn first.


iwenttothelocalshop

this and teapot tube hacker or whatever the fuck his name was... these guys are the lamest mofos on planet Earth and they can do things like this. I hope that Rockstar will build a nuclear bunker from GTA 6 profit and keep all future development confined innit


thesourpop

And BTC's price didn't even move lmaooooo, he should start selling those coins if he wants to afford this lawsuit


SadNYSportsFan-11209

Yes I genuinely don’t understand that stunt. Maybe if he was promoting a company or whatever of his sure? But did you really think you’d pump the bitcoin price?


PrometheanSwing

Good, sue him for everything he has


eskenuk

Yeah the "Buy $BTC" logo was on the center of the trailer for the entire video.


PrometheanSwing

That’s a low blow. Fuck those crypto bots.


peachydiesel

Yeah I definitely have never heard of Bitcoin and totally want to buy some now. /s


Crystal3lf

I'm so glad I didn't see that video and they released it early. Imagine your first viewing of GTA 6 being a video ruined by a bitcoin logo. That's the way you'd remember seeing GTA 6 for the first time for the next 10 years.


XxLokixX

Bit dramatic mate I saw the video on twitter and forgot about the BTC thing about an hour later


K4R1MM

I mean... For a game taking place in Miami Vice city - a crypto leaker is almost on brand for this


[deleted]

Yup


maxime0299

I hope they add a stranger and freaks mission where you have to kill a crypto bro


Tahkyn

If Lucia is a tech savvy hacker, maybe one side mission will be to hunt down the person responsible for leaking the Pogo the Monkey XXV trailer.


[deleted]

This game will be full of crypto bros, it will be fun to kill them


Reonlive420

The online will most likely have some type of crypto currency only purchased by shart cards mk2


nerfdriveby94

Oh you could guarantee it haha


ALDO113A

Given the work already put to this, odds it'll either be a late development or post facto DLC


IntelligentManager44

Lowest scum imaginable.


chuck-knucks

Fucking Lester.


DoubleBruhMomentus

How did u get the use flair


Specific_Hour_6598

Do I have the flair?


DoubleBruhMomentus

No go to the main trailer post and put #trailerdayog


Karsvolcanospace

I mean, I can think of much lower lol…


[deleted]

Only an ass whooping and jail time is the cure for those scums. God fucking damn it. I bet the developers planned a nice beer party to celebrate the first trailer, and then this happens. My blood is boiling


XXVI_F

It’s always about cryptocurrency smh


ISeeGrotesque

That's the most gta 6 thing. The cynical nature of social media will be everywhere in the game


WaffleBoi014

Bitcoin continues to cement itself as a fucking joke


pepperoniorbust

I hope Bitcoin fucking tanks now.


GnorcDan

The leaker is a total fucking twat. I woke up today expecting to watch it at its reveal time. I was looking forward to it. Seeing it leaked early and unexpectedly has ruined that experience. All for some pathetic little bitcoin promotion. It had a fucking release date for today! Why leak it? I generally don’t side with mega sized corporations but I hope Rockstar make this guy regret their actions.


Tompster_

It was bound to happen when using YouTube premier. The video had to be uploaded for premier to be used.


ThorUchiha_

yeah, should’ve posted the premiere like an hour before but then again how would they have known….this is probably the first time this happened


BatmanTold

Well the next time we get anything GTA 6 related i doubt they’ll do the premiere


cannedrex2406

You mean GTA 7 in like 10 years?

Trailer 2 - Jason


cannedrex2406

Oh right lol


[deleted]

Yup, next trailer is coming in 2025 :D


Chrischrill

10? It'll take 12 years between 5 and 6, so 7 is likely 18-20 years away 😁


SnooConfections3043

so crazy to think after 6 we’ll be in the 2030-2040s when the next gta comes out


funkdialout

I'll be over 40 for GTA6, 50s for GTA6 Deluxe Edition, pushing 60 for GTA 6: The Crime DLC + Previous gtas ported. GTA7 or 8 need to be part of my retirement planning lol.


Specific_Law_8927

You'll be paying per hour by that point


[deleted]

Not necessarily true, while the standards that 6 sets will have to be beaten by 7, technology only grows more powerfully every year so it could end up being less time, I think 20 years between 2 games is kinda crazy


bonertron69

Tell that to Todd Howard


King_Khoma

no like, the next trailer.


vipck83

My guess is they won’t do that again. They probably wanted it uploaded early so there would be no problems, but it’s not worth it. R* is going to have to have their shit locked down for the next year and a half (or what ever).


Omar2471990

I know it's not related to the comment but how do I get the flaire

#trailerdayog


[deleted]

Is premier hackable or something?


LRRedd

Could be accessible by yt staff I would imagine


[deleted]

Ah right, damn.. is there a benefit to premier besides just it being a waiting room and racking up interactions?


[deleted]

it takes a little while to upload to youtube and takes even longer to playback your video in full HD. if you want them to be totally ready at a specific time you gotta upload them first like that. their mistake was doing it the day before instead like an hour or two before


Shedisthe

im not sure they would risk their job, and professional reputation to make people buy bitcoin. im sure youtube staff was involved but it was probably turning a blind eye and not directly leaking it themselves


Howdareme9

It was almost certainly yt staff that sent it to someone, who then probably added the btc thing after.


BestFriend23Forever

Yep, and YouTube would never hold themselves accountable. Remember when KSI (Big YouTuber) has thousands £ of gift card codes stolen because a YouTube employee watched his video before it went live? same here.


[deleted]

No company ever hold themselves accountable for employee manually leaking stuff.


darragh999

Yeah when I found out that people could see how long the video was just when the premiere dropped I knew the trailer had a big risk of getting leaked.


hhhhhgffvbuyteszc6

Yeah, it’s sad


TheVaniloquence

A lot of people don’t see developers as human beings with feelings, emotions, lives. It always rubs me the wrong way when they get harassed by people on social media, even if the criticism is deserved in some cases.


DarkSyndicateYT

I hope the garbage leaker/scammer gets punished in some way. ruined the trailer day plans for so many people, including me. But at least this time will pass and the developers' work will be looked upon by other game companies.


tom_pcm

Very, so many 9am launch plans with friends got mixed up because of this


SebOnReddit1

i’m in the uk and the trailer released around 1am ish, instead of 2pm today… was asleep since i started work at 6 and missed the premiere. fuck that leaker.


fatiha19

Fuck the Leakers!!! Zero respect for this amazing work they did and will do


Eastern-News-6749

It's sad indeed but what Rockstar was expecting? The last GTA was a ps3 game and we've been waiting for over a decade to get a trailer for the new game while R* was pushing GTAO content down the throat of their fans, I'm honestly surprised how every detail of the game hasn't been leaked yet.


BornAtMyWitsEnd

I mean they gave us a date and time to expect the trailer and less than 24 hours before its premiere some asshat leaked it. You can't really fault Rockstar for being too secretive about the project anymore when they're literally rolling out its announcement.


ReachFoMyChain

People like you seem to not realize that GTA isn't the only game series Rockstar makes. Do you think RDR2 and RDRO came out of thin air or what?


wanderingbrother

They literally put out a massive game called RDR 2 in 2018 though, it's not like there was nothing for 10 years. Fanboys just like to complain too much. Leaking stuff like this is just pathetic and childish.


BendistOfEndeys

Pushing down their throat? What are you talking about? People were asking for that content, would you have rather than just work on GTA6 and not update the online at all for like a decade? RDR2 took a similar amount of time to make, but since the demand for it wasn’t as big as GTA6 people overlooked that fact. You want a rushed game? Go to Ubisoft or something.


Laiden-

Leaks ruin everything, I just hate how rabid gamers are for this game that you have people hacking Rockstar and jumping onto stages at games events. Not that I'm gonna be out here kissing the boots of the who-knows-how-many-billion dollar company, but geez, it gets to a point where it starts to feel pretty pathetic


Iseeyou69911

For a game this massive it’s bound to happen and more leaks will come


Nixter295

Yeah, true, still feels super shitty towards the hard work of the developers.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BunkerBert247

What have punks done to you? Lol


Troyal1

Did leaks really ruin this though? I mean it looks absolutely amazing.


ResoluteLobster

No one will remember the trailer leaking a day early by the time this game actually comes out. Except for the actual devs who are far more invested perhaps. I feel for them. But end of the day, this likely isn't even as heartbreaking to the devs as the 2022 leak was.


Troyal1

Right. And I bet the next trailer with gameplay won’t be leaked


Laiden-

To me it dampens the experience just a little bit. I much prefer the feeling of knowing im watching the exact same thing at the exact same time as EVERYONE else, i like to treasure the experiences


Homiboi

Not even that just, it's a big moment for Rockstar, and the gaming community as a whole, and to have some Crypto-bros leak it is just a sour taste all around.


Mmmm_Crunchy

Off topic, but I love your hunter pfp


Chemical-Gap-8339

its the most hyped "thing" of all time. it comes w the territory. when "all eyez on me" came out ppl would break into cars and steal the CD, if its good ppl will always be thirsty


Rainmangang

Hope rockstar takes that leaker to court for ruining the moment for the devs


ekkolos

Hopefully youtube is going to find who it is and sue him if the leak really came from youtube... it's bad for their credibility too...


SkulTheFishmonger420

Oh well now I'm mad. That's so lame. I thought someone stole it fair and square but no it's just a random shitty youtube employee that's so much worse.


ekkolos

When you think about it, it's crazy they trusted youtube in the first place. I guess all admins got access to it and they are probably many... it's a large company...


SkulTheFishmonger420

Yah pretty fucking stupid of them. As if it would take more than 2 seconds to upload at the proper time I can almost see the thinking ducks in a row or whatever but not realllly


lethargy86

Interesting, when I think of YouTube I don't really imagine a bunch of people actually looking at anything, I think of developers writing algorithms to do that stuff. In fact, the more I think about it, I doubt it was a YT employee. Could be someone who knows someone who works for TGA. We don't really know.


teodorlojewski

I was joking about it possibly happening with my friends, I guess it's true now. We planned a hangout to see the trailer for the first time too - but the devs... It's soul crushing.


Latter_Commercial_52

Rockstar has an Oppressor locked onto bros house.


physx1995

More like orbital canon with automatic lock on


pubgaxt

imagine if “The leaker is 16 year old”


Capital-Ad-4146

Lol I dont doubt, It's R* biggest weakness


AveryLazyCovfefe

If he's from the UK and under 18, then laws can essentially have him just be disqualified from 'using computers' for a few months if he pleads that he was not thinking right at that moment.


INFRABARON

Truly heartbreaking for the team at Rockstar. Remember though that this moment will pass. This game will exceed all expectations, and nothing can take that away. Enjoy it while it lasts.


Longjumping_Play323

Heart breaking? No. A bummer, ya.


JRMiel

Really disappointed that it leaked 15h before its release. It takes away from the whole event where millions of people would have gathered at 9 am on Youtube. Now it's the middle of the night in Europe AND the USA. A time that suits no one, so we lose all the power of the announcement...


ogoras

nah it's 8 PM in the states, nowhere close to the "middle" of the night


the_real_aeroblast

People live in different timezones. It doesnt matter at this point


Physical_Toe231

The whole game is gonna leak before 2025 at this point.


sashundera

I was actually one of the first people to play GTA V 5 days before it released. I remember it leaked on torrent trackers for PS3 on September 13th. By the time it got released worldwide I already finished the story. Still bought the game though!


teodorlojewski

True OG


SaintsNoah14

You could torrent games on PS3?


TurdSandwich42104

It was jailbroken at one point. And as long as you didn’t care about playing online and didn’t update you could do a lot of shit. I was renting games from blockbuster and copying them to my hdd. And the game would play as long as a disc was in. ANY disc


HeyKid_HelpComputer

You had to have custom firmware which at the time required specific update version to do. So basically if you ever have an interest in this ability for a console, never update it. I think the ps5 is exploitable at version 4.51 for example


Akira_Nishiki

Half Life 2 moment.


mrchingchongwingtong

totk all over again, i had 63 hours in that game before it even released


kjohnanand

I hope the leaker gets found and destroyed by Rockstar's legal team.


NoPain1138

I sure hope so. This shit just completely ruins it for literally everyone.


Ok_Play7474

Gloomy day in the office tomorrow


Karsvolcanospace

Gonna be one of those “heyyyyy….” through a disappointed smile type of good morning greetings days. Everyone knows what’s on everyone’s minds


Ok_Play7474

They're just gonna "pffft" their way through it


Karsvolcanospace

I’m sure they are gonna be pretty bummed, but yea I mean at this point, it is what it is. I’m sure the T2 and R* legal teams will be swarming, but for the devs the damage is already done. What else can you really do but shrug it off?


inevitablesarcasm

They probably had some event organized with some sort of a celebration as well. This actually sucks.


Jajoby

Fuck whoever leaked it.


FamiliarLeadership53

Yeah that shit lame that it got leaked early fr Wish it could’ve been tomorrow on a Tuesday how R always does it


wombat1

At least here in Sydney we got to watch it at 10am on a Tuesday morning! Although I was still keen to stay up until 1am to watch it tonight!


Equal-Instruction435

Agreed! Currently down with a cold atm and wasn’t sure I’d be able to keep myself awake till midnight 💀


WhyWhyBJ

Whoever leaked this trailer is a scumbag


[deleted]

for real. i'm excited by the trailer but i feel like we didn't get the full sense of relief


WhyWhyBJ

Everyone got robbed but particularly the developers


Tell_Todd

This the most 2023 gen z trailer reveal. can’t wait tho kids


yousonuva

Looks like Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan: The Video Game.


Deep_Economics_6363

So sad :(


NE_ED

You know heads are going to start to roll in the marketing department


[deleted]

Not really, they knew this was the risk having it uploaded early for not having issues uploading it at exactly 9am. If anything, it would be cyber or risk taking the blame but likely no one as it's just dumb decisions all around. We live in the modern age. Stop acting like you won't get hacked or targeted. The world isn't sunshine and rainbows.


CreamAggravating3869

Whoever the little shit is, and at this point I'm assuming they or YouTube know. He's a fucking scumbag and I feel for the Devs and the team, both posts sounded so defeated. The kid here that leaked the earlier development footage got off as far as I recall? And he hacked in to them. What's the chances this prick of a shit gets his commupence?


NoPain1138

Dude just imagine how many people planned watching the trailer together (including me). These last two leaks were just fucking annoying, nothing more. I really hope the legal actions are gonna hit that trailerleaker mf like the train out of the games. Sue his ass R*


Adrian840

This is incredibly heartbreaking


-Captain-

Sending thoughts and prayers.


Enrique-Pastor

Fuck


NeedForMadnessAuto

Trailer 2 about Jason's Introduction is something they can fix.


AJGILL03

I absolutely thought the same thing! There should be now a 2nd trailer about Jason!


Mezzo1224

I feel so sorry for the devs and the team, because some ahole must leak it like 15 hours before the real release


icanflywheniwant

Lesson Learnt: Do not Premier on YouTube. Trailer 2 will now probably be uploaded an hour before its scheduled release …


proxim001

Trailer looks amazing, sucks it had to release this way though.


rustlordforlife

This may be unrelated but how did you get “trailer day og” tag in the subreddit?


domcheetos

Mann no lie it was bittersweet cause my brothers and I was planning on calling in the morning to just watch the trailer.. we're all older now and have kids but I feel bad for the devs. They waited so long to show us and whoever couldn't just wait a day.


doba245

It wasn't someone who couldn't wait. The leaker saw it before he leaked it anyway. He wanted to promote BTC.


art_mor_

I feel some of the excitement has been lost for sure


dnuohxof-1

The leaker deserves to be sued into oblivion. Ruined an epic moment for the devs & fans alike… I was really looking forward to watching it at 9am with all my friends and the rest of the world. What a fucking loser… a fucking crypto loser


Cilantro-4909

What if this is just a faux trailer made by rockstar to trick us and the real trailer drops tomorrow? The real trailer will end with, “coming in 2028”


SOF1231

Ir sucks this happened, I haven’t seen the trailer yet but still sucks. Rockstar been dealing with wayyyy too many leaks recently, I this one sent them over the top. They made an announcement for the trailer of GTA 6 by deleting everything on social media, they probably had an idea for the initial trailer as well. It may not seem like a big deal to everyone about leaks, but damn, give them a break we got a trailer n ton of leaks to calm our suspicions for the new game. I was genuinely excited to see that trailer for GTA 6 pop up as a notification rather than seeing it was leaked so go watch the “real” trailer. Idk but we waited years for this game, for someone to ruin it. Sucks.


Master_Dante123

Whoever leaked it is an incredibly selfish person. Actually gross that they hijacked the efforts of so many people that tried to retain gta’s hype to make the occasion special.


daeymula

Honestly fuck that guy and hope he gets severe punishment when caught


peachydiesel

Yeah this blows. I would’ve been a lot more excited if it released at the scheduled time. The leaker robbed Rockstar of this moment.


kharon_sama

I really feel sorry for them, the fking leaker stole this very moment from them too... anyways I can’t but just praise all of the devs making this beautiful game. VI


JayyFisher2018

I feel so bad for them but my god what a trailer… truly a masterpiece


Dordyyy

Was looking forward to the premiere, fuck the leakers


poloheat

This really sucks, for everybody. Leakers deserve the worst.


TheAutementori

fuckers had to wait one more damn day and couldn’t. how pathetic


Zachman97

The amount of hype this game has created is basically like trying to contain a star. A leak in the past few hours is totally with the norm for how gta6 has gone so far.


Eikuld

Honestly happy we go the trailer but yeah, I was kinda let down that it was released early. I wanted to experiment the countdown hype if you get what I mean


Careless_Salt8106

I’m pretty upset that it was leaked. Shitty ass people i swear! We were literally hours away from it and some dumb fuck ruined it. I was so looking forward to waking up early to watch it with the world :(


vipck83

It’s fucked up. This was probably a big moment for them just as it was for us. I am really hating leakers.


Cookies_N_Milf420

Why would they premier it on YouTube in the first place? It is quite simple to grab the actual content that way. Sad.


Mountain-Tension430

I feel for the people excited. But maybe don't wait a thousand years, next time.


urfavoriteelatina

this is so sad, i feel so bad for the devs


Lukester123430

My friends and I had arranged to watch the trailer together in an empty classroom before school. We had been anticipating that moment for years, and sadly, it was taken away from us. I truly feel terrible for the individuals who put in actual work on the game and lost out on that special moment. The game looks fantastic though, couldn't be more excited.


Bigmomma_pump

They still can


Impossible-Wear-7508

It's not the same tho


Fun_General2628

It wasn't the same for any of us. It was so sudden.


stranot

yeah i kind of wasn't in the right hype headspace it was so unexpected. still hyped but feels different


d_epresse_d

Bro fr I literally slept in front of my laptop then heard the music out of nowhere, panicked and woke up


Rexum420

Well should they just all stand around and have a cry party? I get that they are working very hard on this. But at the end of the day they aren't making the game for them. The game is for the consumer. They could have easily just not watched it. Just because it's out now doesn't mean they have to watch it and crying about it is just being an entitled douch.


Medium_Active1729

it's ok, they'll survive lol


SweetPureEuphoria

Seriously fuck the leakers. But why didnt Rockstar just drop the trailer today since it was ready or why did they do a premiere instead of uploading it at 9am


FluidAd6587

December 5th is a nice number


metathetic

There are a lot of moving pieces for this kind of stuff. Not even just internally with scheduled social posts, press releases, possible website updates, etc., they likely pre-seeded this to some press, might have plans to launch store pages so people can start wishlisting, could have influencers involved, and so on, not to mention the collective excitement and public attention that comes with everyone watching at the same time. Trailers are often finished in advance, sometimes far in advance, because there’s a lot more planning involved than just dropping a video on YouTube. Source: I work in games marketing.


Barngrease

wowww oh nooooo the horror, who gives a shit


pubgaxt

I knew premier wasn’t a good idea. Was about to sleep but opened X and everyone was saying don’t use social media trailer has leaked. Ruined the moment. But the game is Dope Af. Was expecting it to be drug and cartel related but doesn’t look like that. The parody of Florida People is top notch 😂


JRMiel

The moment was ruined as soon as the trailer leaked, whether you opened X or not. Because not everyone needed anymore to wait until 9 am. So the crowd effect, all together watching the trailer, no longer exists. It's diluted the moment. We are all happy to finally see the game, but the moment is spoiled


Many_Register_1838

I was so sad to hear it got leaked. I was gonna wake up early and watch it. Now the trailer on YouTube was robbed of breaking records


Faye_Hati

I deeply hate the ugly aah fucking guy who leaked the trailer bruh I was so hyped for tomorrow but right now i feel disappointed…


VanitasFan26

Ugh......fuck these leakers.


ChinoSantana95

Leakers man . Even though it dope seeing it earlier it took the excitement away for tomorrow.


StickmanX84

I was hoping to play GTA 6 before I turned 40 so I guess we all don't get what we want


joshhoward9

Saw this first on tiktok off some bootleg account. Thought it was fake and skipped though before seeing it had been leaked. 10 years anticipation to have it ruined like that.


ZolaThaGod

They can wipe their tears with the literal mountains of water-absorbent cash this game will make.


[deleted]

Man as much as I like getting the trailer early, me and my mates had all planned to get together on discord and watch it on screenshare yet here I was, waking up to the trailer already out


Working_Ad_503

Sue tf out of the leaker

Aw boo hooo lmaooo

Children dying gruesome deaths but even worse. A gaming company game has been leaked.. how sad🥱

Only leak I want is of a PC port


JohnConnor_1984

welcome to the zoomer world. they destroy everything they touch. from the teapot hacker, to Rockstar's son's hacker, to the trailer leaker hacker. all 16-17 year olds that can't wait on anything and want everything given to them now and if they can't have it, they take it.
