Rockstar warns against 'inevitable' GTA 5 leaks
Commenting on a post on Rockstar Newswire asking fans not to discuss spoilers, the publisher said that "now that we're within a week of game release, there's bound to be some inevitable game info and asset leaks.
"As always per Rule no.1 above the Comment Box, we have a strict policy against posting or discussing such things here on our own site. Anyone posting about leaked assets or info will have their comment removed and repeat offenders will have their commenting privileges revoked."
Rockstar's warning of its heavy-handed approach to tackling leaks followed the leak of the game's map yesterday afternoon.
The map, which appears to have been snapped from the game's official strategy guide, shows the entire game world, including all the locations players will get to explore in the final game.
The publisher added that it wanted to ensure that its website was kept clean of spoilers to "ensure everyone who [visits] between now and game release can feel free to chat about the game without having anything spoiled for them".
It was rumoured last night that the game had found its way into the hands of a piracy group, with comments from the community (via NeoGAF) reporting that the Xbox 360 version's second disc comes loaded with a new type of piracy protection.
GTA 5 launches on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next Tuesday, September 17.

I'd be very annoyed if I ever found out the end plot without playing the game, even though I'm not gonna buy the game on release...

AwesomeSauce69 Why can't these stupid people not be so impatient? Seriously, just wait like everything else.
If you got the game early you would not be waiting, I have seen the leaks and even though they are low quality I'm not impressed, if I had not paid for it already I probably would have cancelled my pre-order.

NRG-900 I'm not going to look at any leaks. Don't know why anyone would want to ruin the surprise.
I feel the same way, I haven't looked at anything besides the gameplay trailers so nothing would be ruined for me when I get the game :)

Rockstar taking this too seriously? No their not. If it were up to be, anyone who leaks the games would be fined 50,000
