I still believe the theory that the leaks are part of Rockstar's own advertising campaign, if there a company that know they can milk their own customers aside from Nintendo, it's Rockstar.
Why should it be an advertising campaign? Using a made-up name, filling videos with watermarks and pushing a crypto meme coin?
I don't even see how this could be something good for them. They are going to officially show it in a week and I don't think they need more hype than that they already have.
These are just people who are trying to make money with crypto.
The very first GTA was promoted through "outrage" that they stirred up themselves. I trust their marketing department about as far as I can throw them.
It was a very different company during first GTA.
