Endless unofficial GTA VI leaks have put the game's official advertising campaign in an awkward position. While Take-Two and Rockstar lawyers are trying to find the hacker publishing new game fragments, Netflix reminded on social media about the show GTA VI: An Extended Look, which will be released on the platform next week.
The post asking how many days were left until the official material was quickly filled with jokes and memes. Players ironically note that they have been getting an "extended look" at virtual Vice City every day for the past week without having to wait for the official broadcast.
The situation clearly shows the contrast between a well-thought-out marketing campaign and the chaotic reality of the modern internet. However, the mockery is unlikely to affect interest in the presentation: a high-quality official video is expected to gather millions of viewers worldwide.
Rockstar, meanwhile, wants to quickly shut down the source of new leaks and punish the culprit before key plot twists or the ending get online.
