Gaming: Trailer von GTA 6 überfordert Netflix – Hacker-Leaks verpuffen
Fans feiern nach langer Wartezeit die ersten tiefen Einblicke in den neuesten Teil der Erfolgsreihe. Die Aktie der Konzernmutter Take-Two steigt, selbst ein Hack bleibt folgenlos. Warum?
Düsseldorf, Germany - A 26-minute video apparently overwhelmed Netflix servers on Thursday evening, causing the streaming service to momentarily falter. Exclusively broadcasting the first glimpses of Grand Theft Auto 6, the trailer sparked an unprecedented level of interest from fans waiting years for new content in the popular game series.
Experts estimate Grand Theft Auto 6 to be as monumental as a blockbuster film, with Morgan Stanley projecting 40 million sales in the first four months following its release. The predecessor, GTA 5, has so far generated between eight and ten billion dollars since 2013. The latest leaks, featuring playable snippets of GTA 6, surfaced a few weeks ago, with hackers promising additional leaks in exchange for payment in their own cryptocurrency token.
Simultaneously, the hackers sought to protest industry practices by concealing portions of the game behind a paywall, which could later be unlocked as additional content.
