Serious, why would anybody care besides modding community, and maybe GTA Online hackers? No competitor can think there's anything there worth their money and effort.

It could be a great learning material. I'm not a game developer, but I would be very happy to have an AAA game source code I can build locally.

99% of game developers dont build on their own engines. It's would be like looking into Linux kernel source code to build your own music player app or TODO app. Few people who do heavy engine lifting in C++ simply not gonna bother with someone else code.

But I pretty sure everyone in modding community would be really happy.

Did he leak GTA V (2013) or GTA VI (2024)? The story is inconsistent.

It was GTAV (2013) that was leaked. GTAVI was leaked a few months back in the form of early development videos and the reveal trailer but nothing else.

Edit: GTA6 code and a testing build were supposedly also taken in the Rockstar hack, but none of that has been publicly leaked as of today.

"Out on bail for allegedly hacking the hardware company Nvidia, Kurtaj, prosecutors say, pulled off the GTA heist while staying under police protection at a Travelodge hotel. Without his computer, he somehow managed to hack into Rockstar using his smartphone, an Amazon Firestick, and the TV in his hotel room." Oh? I will allow it. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/12/teen-hacked-grand-th...

At this point, they really need to start leveraging this man's skills for good or *lawful* evil.

Ah, OK. Not a big deal, then, except for GTA modders.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I read a lot of Linux kernel code and I’m just a meager application developer.

Rock star is getting a lot of hits recently, and I’m not entirely sure if it’s an inside job, bad management, poor hires, or mix of all or something completely different, I would imagine they should have increased their measures when GTA6 got leaked..

This news is from the same 2022 leak, for some reason it is just getting coverage again now.

It's getting coverage because the GTAV source and assets weren't publicly leaked until now. The hack was in 2022, but AFAIK nobody but a select few had access to the stolen data.
