  "account": "The Stop Killing Games movement has distanced itself from the GTA 6 leak manifesto and cast doubt on the hackers' motivations. Two GTA 6 gameplay videos and an image of the complete map were leaked online, with a watermark advertising a cryptocurrency and a website belonging to a group called CyberLeek. CyberLeek demanded Rockstar Games and other video game publishers address issues related to their all-digital future, specifically criticizing Rockstar for not offering GTA 6 on physical disc. The Stop Killing Games movement, launched by YouTuber Ross Scott in April 2024, fights against video games becoming obsolete after purchase. The authenticity of the leaked content remains unconfirmed. Stop Killing Games issued a statement urging fans not to send CyberLeek any money and expressed sympathy for Rockstar staff, emphasizing that illegal means do not protect consumers' rights. The group hopes to distance itself from the leak, avoid being affiliated with such actions, and prevent the leakers from appearing during future discussions with lawmakers.",
