  "account": "The leak of GTA 6 continues with a new video showcasing nightclub gameplay, along with the leaker defending their crypto scheme. This 12th video release features standard advertising for the CyberLeek token, which is believed to be the driving force behind the cryptocurrency scheme. The leaker included a watermarked message defending the scheme, stating that they are taking risks and that leakers provide the content for free, covering operational costs through donations. The leaker encourages support for the cause by using the CryptoLeek token, which has led to people spending hundreds of dollars to vote on gameplay video choices through paid-for polls.\n\nThe scheme ostensibly aims to protest the all-digital future and Rockstar's decision not to sell GTA 6 on-disc. One individual attended Rockstar North in Scotland, filming themselves eating a leek outside the office. Concerns have arisen that CyberLeek may release damaging story spoilers, with one poll option even featuring a prologue with the character Lucia. So far, the leaked gameplay videos have only shown the character Jason. Despite Take-Two's subpoenas to Microsoft, Discord, and X/Twitter, CyberLeek has continued to release GTA 6 gameplay videos for eight consecutive days. As the date for Netflix's timed-exclusive GTA 6 reveal approaches, significant damage is being done, according to Bloomberg. Rockstar has not yet determined how the leaks occurred or who is behind them, leaving management sending morale-boosting emails to staff internally. Former Rockstar technical director Obbe Vermeij downplayed the damage caused by the leaks, comparing them to the more damaging Hot Coffee scandal. Neither Take-Two nor Rockstar have issued a statement on the GTA 6 leaks, and IGN has requested comment.",
