A short editorial position piece. We do not republish leak material. Here's why and what we do instead.
What we don't do
Republish leaked screenshots. Republish leaked source material. Treat leaks as 'confirmed'. Speculate on the basis of unverified leak content.
What we do do
Acknowledge leak claims exist. Debunk specific false claims (see the leak debunking page). Use only Rockstar's own material as confirmation.
Why
Leak material is not legitimate news. Republishing it harms the studio's release process and the people who work on the game. Editorial integrity matters more than traffic from leak coverage.
