GTA 6: Even Stop Killing Games Has Distanced Itself from Leaker CyberLeek

GTA 6: Stop Killing Games is asking people not to fund the leaker CyberLeek, calling his leaks about the Rockstar game "illegal."

Stop Killing Games, the movement that has been pressuring the industry for months to ensure games don't "die" when their servers shut down, has publicly distanced itself from the GTA 6 leaker known as CyberLeek. Its CEO, Moritz Katzner, has asked fans not to send him “a single euro,” calling his methods illegal and unacceptable. The break comes just as CyberLeek expands his ultimatum beyond Rockstar to target “every major corporation” in the industry.

CyberLeek is the alias behind the latest round of GTA 6 leaks, accompanied by a meme cryptocurrency intended—according to the leaker himself—to fund future actions against other publishers. That’s where Stop Killing Games has drawn the line.

Why Stop Killing Games Is Cutting Ties with the GTA 6 Leaker

Katzner was unequivocal in his public statement: “Do not send money to these people, no matter how much sympathy you feel for their actions.” For the movement, using criminal means does not legitimize the cause.

“Using illegal means to make a point is unacceptable to us”

What’s striking is that both sides are asking for similar things. Stop Killing Games demands that publishers keep games playable when they shut down their servers, and CyberLeek claims to champion similar causes against major publishers. But Stop Killing Games draws the line at the method. Its campaigns take the legal route (petitions, public pressure, legislation); CyberLeek steals and publishes internal material. And Katzner warns that it’s usually the development team that pays the price, not the executives they claim to be targeting.

CyberLeek’s Ultimatum to “Every Major Corporation”

While Stop Killing Games distanced itself, CyberLeek ramped up the rhetoric. The leaker demands an end to digital download exclusives, fake single-player “expansions,” and the silent removal of paid content, and is no longer content with Rockstar as its sole target.

“Publishers should beware. If CyberLeek can reach Rockstar, no one is safe. This is a message to all big corporations: behave, or be the next target.”

As an example of what he claims to be fighting against, CyberLeek cites the shutdown of servers for The Crew, the Ubisoft game that cut off access to players who had already paid for it—which was, in fact, the very case that spurred the launch of the Stop Killing Games campaign itself.

Rumors, Leaks, and Activism: Three Things That Are Not the Same

None of this has been confirmed by Rockstar or Take-Two. The company has not commented on CyberLeek, his leaks, or his threats against “every big corporation” (you can follow what has been verified in confirmed leaks regarding GTA 6). What is a verified fact, however, is the statement from Stop Killing Games itself, as reported by several specialized media outlets. The controversy leaves the leaker in a strange position, threatening half the video game industry just as he loses the backing of a movement that, in theory, defended interests similar to his own.
