GTA6 leaker Cyberleek shows off gas station rampage, refueling, promises strip club gameplay if people juice his cryptocurrency enough

GTA6 leaker Cyberleek is still at it, even as his digital wanted level is skyrocketing to never-before-seen heights. His latest, two-minute clip was shared to the Gaming Leaks and Rumors subreddit.

Fallout dev Tim Cain says we should pay more attention to bad games: ‘[Publishers] often don’t learn from failure because they only look at the games that sold well’

“Jesus Christ, I could write this shit:” The great Alan Moore once said that the sort of negative inspiration you get from reading drivel is even more fruitful for aspiring authors than the kind you get from reading the classics.

2XKO’s shutdown has me feeling glum about Riot’s future MMO—because I don’t think the genre can survive corporate cut-and-run tactics

I find myself pretty gloomy about the shutdown of 2XKO—but not because I’ll miss it on a personal level.

The latest cooperative craze is a physics-based fishing simulator where you can launch your catch into the air and no-scope it with a sniper rifle

As someone who grew up in the ’90s and early ’00s when cooperative games were scarce, I’m a big fan of this current era of cheap and cheerful experiences designed to play with your pals. I enjoy the knockabout vibe of games like Peak and R.E.P.O, which acknowledge their disposable nature and focus on being…

The GTA 6 leaker is selling ads now

You might think that Grand Theft Auto 6 leaker Cyberleek, who is currently the target of what I’m sure is a five-alarm manhunt now being conducted by Take-Two and Rockstar, might want to step back into the shadows a bit—keep their head down and hope it all blows over, and all that. But no. In…
