Stop Killing Games slams GTA 6 leaker over Memecoin push

Even a movement built on protecting gamers has limits on what it’ll back, and the GTA 6 leaker just found them.

Stop Killing Games has built a real name for itself over the past year. Its petition to stop publishers from bricking games after shutting down servers hit 1.4 million signatures with ten days to spare before its deadline, and the group has kept up the pressure since. So when a hacker group calling itself CYBERLEEK started leaking GTA 6 footage under a similar “preserve what we paid for” banner, you’d think Stop Killing Games might be sympathetic. It isn’t, and the reason comes down to money.

Why Stop Killing Games is pushing back on GTA 6 leaks

In a statement posted on X, the group confirmed the leaked footage looks genuine, pointing to how fast Take-Two’s DMCA takedowns have landed as proof. But its real issue is that CYBERLEEK has slapped memecoin links and QR codes across the leaked clips, asking people to pay up for more. Stop Killing Games isn’t having it, warning fans not to send the group any money and calling the whole approach illegal and pointless. The statement also brings up the Rockstar hacker from 2022, who ended up handed an indefinite hospital order, as a blunt reminder of how badly this can end.

The group’s bigger point is that breaking the law to make a point doesn’t actually help anyone, and it risks dragging down causes like Stop Killing Games‘ own petition by association. Fair enough, I reckon, though judging by the replies to the statement, plenty of fans aren’t buying it. Quite a few of the top comments actually side against Stop Killing Games, arguing that legal routes have already been tried and failed.

Either way, don’t send CYBERLEEK your money over this. That part everyone seems to agree on.
