The massive GTA 6 leaks weren’t that big a deal, according to former Rockstar developer Obbe Vermeij. He says they only mattered because the studio is so secretive.
Vermeij didn’t follow the leak closely, but thinks it’s not as important as people think. “It’s just because there are millions of people waiting for any news, and Rockstar doesn’t give them any news,” he explains.
He understands why Rockstar keeps quiet, saying that whenever a big company says anything, it gets analyzed and often runs negatively. From his point of view, their best bet is to be quiet.
Rockstar says the GTA 6 leak was “extremely” disappointing, costing $5 million and thousands of hours of staff time. However, Vermeij thinks even the new trailer might not be that exciting – he predicts GTA 6 won’t be wildly different from GTA 5, which might disappoint some fans.
