I don’t think you guys understand the severity of the GTA6 leak. 10 thousand lines of code, proprietary and secret craftsmanship now floating into the ether. Rockstar has all ability outright cancel the fucking game over this. 85% chance they’ll delay the game into next decade.

My hearts out to Rockstar devs, programmers and engineers. Actually anyone who had any ounce of input in on the code. Our source code for Legion got leaked at Ubi so I know the repercussions and devastating feeling that follows. 💖

Half-Life 2 was on the thin line of being cancelled over source code being leaked as well. I think it’s very, very plausible.

Okay y’all I’ve come back to this tweet after muting and it’s insane. First, 10k lines of code was when I saw it. The story developed further and it got worse. Second, 85% is a hyperbole. Dumb I know, I’ll take the flack though. Third, they may can and reboot. Always an option.

I see a TON of people asking WHY SOURCE CODE MATTERS. Here are some repercussions that are very serious for something arguable so “benign”. Read this and you’ll learn how deep the rabbit hole goes. I know it’s way too late since the tweet already blew up but still great info!!

They did it for fun and when they accidentally got the clout, they are trying to make the best out of it. Sad.

They’d probably go in and access leaked code. Seeing what was leaked and patching it with new proprietary code. Also with the amount of footage leaked, it could be scrapped and restarted. If ingredients of Pepsi got out, they’d have to go find a new ingredient that’s similar.

I had to redo the tweet thread because the twitter edit button isn’t live. Wanted to tidy some things up. Anyway, nothing to promote. I understand why a bunch of people see this has a bad take, I’m not deleting the tweet but feel free to keep the jokes rolling. They’re funny!

#IndianaJones and the Great Circle is an all-new adventure game that features a mix of combat, stealth, puzzles, gunplay, and of course...Indy's whip! Use it for traversal, as a distraction, or taking out enemies. You aren't just playing as Indiana Jones, you ARE Indiana Jones.

343i, take your time with @Halo. We can wait. Sorry for all the negative comments online. We are just frustrated, that’s all. Good luck and see you guys out on the battlefield. 👋🏼

I think I do actually, very much as a game dev AND someone who had their source code leaked on their game.

Not with the source code being bought for 100k just now.

It’s either this or ‘the glow’ and I promise you when us game developers see the play tests, people skip over environmentally realistic props. Unless you guys want a button prompt to “look at lootables” every time you enter a room, learn to live with the yellow marks!

Another day where consumers explain game dev to me, a professional game dev.
