The Clap

The Deets
The footage leaked goes down as one of the biggest leaks in gaming history. According to the company, however, the leaks are not expected to affect the development of the game.
The statement by the company helped curb the declining stock price following a 6% drop in premarket following the leaks.
Why this Matters
The incident worried gamers that the launch of the game could be further delayed, as some developers also worried about a potential leak of the game’s source code.
What Now
GTA VI is expected to bring in $3.5 billion at launch and an additional $2 billion on average annually.
