After the topic heat detonated the full text, the news agency reporter confirmed the authenticity of the leak to the R star staff, and Neil Druckmann, the president of the naughty dog, also encouraged the R star developers.
At the beginning of the news leak, some netizens suspected that the leak was false, because there were too many excellent fan-made works in GTA. However, as long as you click on the summarized video and watch it carefully, you can undoubtedly determine the authenticity of the leak. Such a high degree of game content completion, no team with a certain scale can do it, and the details of the picture alone can't be so rich. The leaked content is the early testing stage, AI model, light and shadow details are seriously missing, and there are many action and code debugging videos. At first glance, the material in the pre-test stage of the work is exposed.
The emotional gap between doubt and fact.
Source code leakage alone is the lifeblood of R star. Some netizens may not know much about the concept of source code leakage. Let me explain here.
What does source code leak mean?
It's like a confrontation between two armies. As a result, one side found that its army size, camp map, route and even personnel scheduling were leaked by spies. What kind of situation is this? The game won't die suddenly. Can only say that R star has strong strength support.
If the game screen is skin, then the code is bone. Code controls the bottom logic of the game and is the most important core business secret. As long as you get the code of the game, anyone can make countless GTA6 by changing the skin. At the same time, the leakage of the underlying code may also lead to the theft of the core technology of the company's self-developed games, which will affect not only GTA6, but also other games owned by R Star, directly leading to the destruction of a company's commercial research and development achievements for many years.
In addition, the source code leakage will also expose the defects of the system. The biggest problems are plug-ins, private servers, criminals, and players who know some codes may attack the game itself. The most direct thing is that the efforts of many game developers have been burned. Of course, the harm of code leakage is not limited to these, and the most fundamental way to deal with this harm is to push back.
Event follow-up
According to the news, the leaked information came from R Star Toronto Studio, and telecommuting employees were leaked during the game test. In the impression of the global epidemic, many employees of R Star are working from home, so the degree of confidentiality is reduced, and it makes sense that computer data is stolen by hackers. This incident should make many game companies reevaluate the problems brought by telecommuting. Sony has said today that it will no longer allow product testing employees to work remotely from home, and all recruitment requirements will be changed to offline work.
What happens when employees wake up.
Hackers claim to have it? Give him love 5 and 6 source code and assets? And then what? Give him love 6 beta? And blackmail r star.
It's outrageous that someone impersonated "GTA6" and was cheated by hackers. What's even more outrageous is that there are really big heads who have been cheated by $654.38+million for buying code, which is really outrageous.
This can't help but remind people of an influential game leak in the early years. Before V Society released half-life 2 in 2003, hackers invaded V Society, stole all the source files and source codes of half-life 2, and published them on the Internet. Dramatically, this hacker, who was only 18 years old, took the initiative to contact V club, hoping to join V club with excellent hacking skills, and was finally arrested in the cooperation between V club and the FBI. At that time, half-life 2 sold 8.6 million sets, which seemed to be unaffected. However, according to media reports, V Club lost 250 million yuan, and half-life 2, which was finally presented to players, has been rebuilt.
In recent years, game leaks are not uncommon, and even the game content officially revealed has been speculated for no reason. However, the development content is rarely exposed at the code level. Most of them are game screen covers and screenshots inadvertently released by retailers, game official website and cooperative platforms. And the impact is minimal, which is completely different from the leak of GTA6.
The leak of GTA continued to ferment. T2 has started deleting videos, but there are still news leaks. At present, players can only wait patiently. I can afford to wait for eight years, so I don't want to wait any longer. I believe that Star R will recover from this incident.
