Sony takes responsibility for GTA5 leaks, Rockstar responds
PlayStation Social Media Manager Sid Shuman stated that the pre-order file has since been removed and apologized to "Rockstar and GTA fans across the world who were exposed to the spoiler content."
Rockstar's statement on a Rockstar Newswire post explained it was "deeply disappointed by leaks and spoilers being spread in advance of the game's launch. GTA5 represents years of hard work by many people across the world, and we all couldn't be more excited to finally share it with you properly this September 17."
Rockstar also took the opportunity to remind Social Club community members that anyone discussing spoilers or misinformation would "have commenting privileges revoked until well after the game's release." It's nice to see Rockstar committing to providing a spoiler-free place to anticipate GTA5, but we all know how the internet handles popular media. If you're hoping to keep the game's surprises intact, consider avoiding social media until the game's September 17 release.

EstablishZuki Sony always mess up, it's ridiculous
Yeah, you know, because Microsoft has never messed up. Yep, allowing Apple and Google to take over the phone/tablet markets while Microsoft holds on to a slowly dying PC market was all a part of their plan. Oh, and let's not forget Vista.
Every company messes up, even your beloved Microsoft.
Wtf, ever think about Nintendo or Ouya? Who's to say Zuki's even a console gamer? So quick to assume..

IndianBoymodzStupid Sony leaking content. How could this of even happened?aimiami12Zuki Sony always mess up, it's ridiculous
A company wouldnt be around if they always messed up. Comments like this are dumb and should just be removed.
Its not like it wasnt going to be leaked with in these next 2 weeks.
After losing a whopping $5.7 billion last year and $312 million last quarter, Sony's recent austerity measures seem to be paying off -- the company lost only $198 million in Q2. It's been madly restructuring since CEO Kazuo Hirai came on board last year and recently shuttered a lens plant in Japan while moving its mobile HQ from Sweden to Tokyo. Altogether, 10,000 jobs cuts are projected this year by Sony to help stanch the red ink, and it looks like it's started to pay off. Notably, the company saw a drop in restructuring costs over last year, when it incurred charges during the sell-off of its display businesses.

Sony been losing money since then and they barely made 35 mil this year.
@IndianBoymodz - Waw that's worse than I though. Sony should've just stuck with making TV's.

i2Coldslapshot101 Well at least Sony took responsibility for the leak and they didn't stay silent or just blame it on Rockstar. I am surprised that Rockstar cares about the leak with all the information they have already leaked.
It's not a leak if Rockstar was the one to release it.
#1 most retarded thing I've heard all day.
