    They’re trying to milk it as much as possible to pump their memecoin, I’m not on Rockstar or Sony’s side here but Cyberleek are doing that hence why they don’t just release their build with maybe a donation address unobtrusively below like the self-respecting crackers instead of the giant watermark on every snippet of footage they release

    I suppose you could have a more favorable reading in that they also actually care about Sony keeping disc drives in addition to making money, once they release a playable build they give up all their leverage, have nothing left to threaten with to push Sony etc to keep physical media readers around(if they actually gaf about that)

    Judge for yourself

    Maybe it’s just the cynic in me but imo they know TakeTwo\Rockstar won’t ever do that, great way to get publicity, ah well hope they release the build regardless

      Not only are they well aware Rockstar won’t do that, imo they also don’t have the full build they’re pretending they do. Obviously “request what you want to see and ill show it to prove it” can be easily gamed with a very limited build or even just a bunch of prerecorded footage on a very limited build.

      They were just amazed the rugpull worked the first time and thought fuck it, nothing to lose trying to double dip
