A new batch of GTA VI leaks are being used by an X user to pump their crypto as part of a \u201csecret project.\u201d<\/p>\n

The user, who goes by the name \u201cCyberLeek,\u201d shared<\/a> GTA VI gameplay footage alongside the ticker for a crypto called $CYBERLEEK yesterday. \u00a0<\/p>\n

It included details about GTA VI\u2019s map and footage of free-roam gameplay that, at the time of writing, are no longer viewable on X following a copyright strike from the game\u2019s creator, Rockstar Games.<\/p>\n

CyberLeek is raising funds for \u2018secret project\u2019<\/h2>\n

CyberLeek created<\/a> their token to raise funds for a \u201csecret project\u201d that they claim cannot be revealed, as \u201cshowing the cards to the big corporations would only give them time to build their defenses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Onlookers have speculated<\/a> that a new gas meter and morality system have been revealed in CyberLeek\u2019s posts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They said, \u201cLet it be absolutely clear: this is not a cash grab. Funding is directed toward the infrastructure needed to strike, as well as the security and protection required to withstand the inevitable corporate counterattacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their posts pushed<\/a> the token\u2019s market cap up almost 5,800% within an hour to $3.46 million. Its market cap is $1.5 million at the time of writing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What are CyberLeek\u2019s motives?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

According<\/a> to CyberLeek\u2019s website, the leaks stem from their grievances with anti-consumer practices within the video game industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CyberLeek claims they will target any gaming company that sells digital pre-orders, locks single-player content behind a paywall, and doesn\u2019t strive to preserve long-term offline access to single-player content.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For instance, they claim pre-orders \u201cwere created because physical discs had manufacturing limits. In digital distribution, there is no inventory. There is no stock shortage. A digital copy cannot sell out. Yet publishers kept the preorder system and stripped away its only consumer benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n

CyberLeek has threatened<\/a> to leak more footage unless Rockstar Games meets their demands.<\/p>\n

GTA VI\u2019s no-disc descision has rocked the boat <\/h2>\n

GTA VI will be the first major game to release without a disc. Its digital pre-orders will be, like CyberLeek noted, in infinite supply while Rockstar\u2019s \u201cphysical\u201d release will take the form of a redeemable code packaged in a game box.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On CNN video game journalist Gene Park noted<\/a> the shift as an issue of consumer rights.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The announcement of GTA VI\u2019s release plan, alongside Sony\u2019s decision to no longer produce game discs, has led to lawsuits<\/a> and uproar from gamers who advocate for physical media and game preservation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
