Recently, with the announcement of GTA6, a large number of documents suspected of being the source code of the game have been circulated on the Internet, which made R Star frantically launch a "lawyer's letter warning", but what everyone didn't expect was that all this was related to a failed hacker....
According to popular gaming blogger Dyllie, a modding group called TickleMePickles paid hackers to steal GTA5's source code for just $2,000. Afterwards, the mod team members wanted to resell it to a larger mod group for $6,000, but the buyer couldn't make up his mind for a while, firstly because he was not sure whether the source code was true or not, and secondly, he was afraid that he would be pursued by R Star and sued for bankruptcy.
Therefore, after asking a large number of mod groups and no one dared to buy the source code, TickleMePickles began to frantically sell the source code to every mod individual maker for as little as $199. Fortunately, these MOD individual makers are also well aware of the gold content of the R-star lawyer's letter, and no one dares to buy this source code.
In the end, TickleMePickles, who had become popular, decided to release part of the game's source code in the mod community in person, so that everyone would not be afraid to use the source code because of "trading behavior". Therefore, there was news that the source code of the GTA series of games was leaked recently, and R Star also followed up and sued a number of hackers in a timely manner.
However, these actions did not intimidate TickleMePickles, on the contrary, he said that he knew how big the basket was, and that the source code he had made public was not yet a complete version. Based on his hatred for the GTA series of games, he will make a big wave in the future and make the complete source code public on the whole network.
According to the estimation of popular game blogger Dyllie, if TickleMePickles really leaks the full source code, the entire GTA mod community will be banned by R stars, and the development progress of GTA6 will also be affected because of this. And the last hacker who dared to do this has been sued by R Star and ended up with lifelong guardianship.
