  "summary": "A group called Cyberleek has leaked gameplay footage of Grand Theft Auto 6, and has published a manifesto outlining its grievances with the video game industry. According to XDA Developers and TechRadar, the group is protesting against what it sees as anti-consumer practices, specifically the elimination of physical game discs.\n\nThe manifesto, as reported by PC Gamer and TechRadar, lists three \"commandments\" that publishers must follow: no digital preorders, no fake singleplayer DLC, and mandatory offline fallback states for singleplayer games. Cyberleek demands that Rockstar Games, the developer of GTA 6, issue a public statement and apology for its recent game disc decisions.\n\nCyberleek has threatened to continue leaking game material until its demands are met, and has warned that it will target other publishers who violate its edicts. The group claims it is raising funds for a secret project to support its efforts, and PC Gamer reports that it is selling a memecoin to fund its activities.",
