A Rockstar's highly anticipated game, GTA VI, has suffered a major security breach, with a hacker leaking gameplay videos and details online. The game, set to launch on November 19, has already achieved record pre-sales of 4.38 million copies, valued at $429 million. The leak has caused Take-Two, Rockstar's parent company, to lose over $2 billion in market value, with its stock price falling around 5%.
