Stop Killing Games Urges Community to Stop Supporting Grand Theft Auto VI Leakers
Stop Killing Games has issued a statement condemning recent Grand Theft Auto VI leaks and warning players against supporting hackers.
Stop Killing Games, an organisation known for fighting against the cancellation of online games and the shutting down of servers at the European Parliament, has released a statement regarding recent Grand Theft Auto VI leaks. As videos continue to flood the internet, the organisation has urged the gaming community not to support the leakers behind the breach.
While noting that the organisation cannot independently confirm the validity of the footage, Stop Killing Games observed that the leaks appear official given that Rockstar is bringing down bans. A group of hackers has claimed responsibility for the breach. Recently, the responsible party put up a paid poll to let voters decide which gameplay sections to show next and advertised a cryptocurrency, leading Stop Killing Games to characterize the actions as an attempt to grift gamers for money and attention rather than fighting for genuine consumer rights.
Stop Killing Games explicitly asked the public not to send money to the hackers, stating that illegal means are unacceptable and do not protect the right to keep using purchased products. The organisation expressed sympathy for the developers at Rockstar who must endure the ordeal, particularly occurring just over a week before Rockstar's official Extended Look premiere. They emphasized that despite any potential disagreements with upper management decisions, thousands of developers worked hard on the project.
