Imagine losing your job because your dumbass son (or his dumbass friend, seen it both ways) leaked this shit.

On that IGN page, there was a 21 questions quiz and I figured out it was The Last of Us Part 2 in 11 questions.

Got a link to what was shown?

Leaked on the WarThunder forum because the kid want to prove something. 😂

Bro this kid has been playing all the rockstar games before they get released… he doesn’t even REALIZE how cool of a life he’s got

I hope the employee is not punished, nor the son. Hopefully they look at it as PR? We live in a different time where employee rights have been squashed and there are so many exhausted people working in games. They will make a fortune no matter what and people will be neurotically playing this game 20 years from now. But a father and son punished for even $50-100k could have a potential to ruin the son’s life, prevent college, etc. I’m not in the mood to hear about brutal punitive action.

As someone who works in the game industry. No one cares about keeping stuff safe, it’s not government secrets. Usually companies just tell you that leaks will happen and it doesn’t matter.

If the dad doesn’t lose his job then this was a pt stunt.

It’s an image of the alleged map. Gotta be good for at least 5 Mrbossftw videos.

Former employee if this is true.

Honestly why does anyone care? Assuming you’ve played GTA at all in the past decade you know this one is going to be just as much of a shit-show cash grab as the last one

Butters! You are grounded mister.

Surely the thumbnail for the article should have been Michael’s son Jimmy.

The comments in response to this are hilarious.

Everything from “It’s illegal footage!” to “How shitty to have you work ruined by a leak”

It might be illegal for the kid, but once it’s out there, it’s out there. You’re not violating any laws by sharing it. It’s a video of game footage. If you were sharing the actual game, yes. Not the case here.

Nothing is “ruined”. “Yep, sure looks like GTA alright.” That’s about it. A random part of the map for a few seconds, big whoop. Any publicity is good publicity, and it’s just driving up hype that much more.

In the end: not really a huge deal, other than the kid doing his dad dirty like that.

World keeps on spinning. Leaks wouldn’t be that much of an attention grabber if updates were made on a timely basis. It’s been 10 years since GTAV, so people want to know WTF is going on. Rockstar didn’t even acknowledge its existence until last week.

On the other hand, we have companies like Blizzard who was showing off D4 in the prior years as it was being developed. That’s what people want to see.
