I mean with the recent GTA 6 like most of the time i saw hype about any news at all but at the same time it said to be a disaster for rockstar games so why is that a bad thing now?

It has more to do with the fact that this being a product of a hack, allegedly at least, there’s a question of what else the hacker got his hands on, possibly data that could be disastrous for the company. Also when a leak like that happens the dev team are the first suspects. Sure someone has claimed responsibility but that doesn’t mean all the devs will be left alone. People could lose their job over stuff like this.

Lastly nobody wants to be held accountable for their unfinished work. The game is not in a presentable state but when it eventually comes out, and this could go for any game with early alpha leaks, people could start making questions about stuff that was in the alpha footage but not present in the final release. Why and how content and features get scrapped is a complicated matter so devs generally tend to leave some stuff on the cutting room floor and not tell the public about them.
