cyberleek made a pumpfun token to make money and people are actually trading it
he’s hoping enough people trade to inflate the market cap, which is basically the current value of all the tokens combined- 3 days
I had to lookup what “pumpfun” meant. It’s a platform that you can signup for to quite literally and openly have pump and dump scams run against you. That’s the level we are at now.
2 daysI feel like most people won’t want to buy it if they look at this page though lol

If I remember correctly, and someone please correct me if I’m wrong, this leaker created their own cryptocurrency to profit off of this.
So they’re referring to the cyberleek “coin” getting to a certain point and they’ll release the full game.
According to the website coinmarketcap, the current market cap of that coin is $3.8 million. So it has a ways to go.
Ah I also didn’t realize someone answered before me! My bad

Isn’t it more like they want to bully rockstar and believe other people want to assist with that, and they are using this coins value to show the amount of support they have?
Like sure their incentive is monetary, but they are being open about that part and giving rockstar the option to end this by giving into their demands.
If people want to throw their monetary support at an open faced scam, that’s also on those people.

This drama is baffling. Drama should be obvious. I haven’t the slightest idea who they are, what they want and what they are going to do. Not a drama material.

To add to this, they have already released a ton of material that implies they have the whole game.

Oh great, so they can rugpull and the fans of the game get screwed twice…
Why not the game? Wanna threat them? Release the game binary.
Full gameplay videos will come out anyway, one or two days after game release.- 3 days
They’re trying to milk it as much as possible to pump their memecoin, I’m not on Rockstar or Sony’s side here but Cyberleek are doing that hence why they don’t just release their build with maybe a donation address unobtrusively below like the self-respecting crackers instead of the giant watermark on every snippet of footage they release
I suppose you could have a more favorable reading in that they also actually care about Sony keeping disc drives in addition to making money, once they release a playable build they give up all their leverage, have nothing left to threaten with to push Sony etc to keep physical media readers around(if they actually gaf about that)
Judge for yourself
Maybe it’s just the cynic in me but imo they know TakeTwo\Rockstar won’t ever do that, great way to get publicity, ah well hope they release the build regardless

Not only are they well aware Rockstar won’t do that, imo they also don’t have the full build they’re pretending they do. Obviously “request what you want to see and ill show it to prove it” can be easily gamed with a very limited build or even just a bunch of prerecorded footage on a very limited build.
They were just amazed the rugpull worked the first time and thought fuck it, nothing to lose trying to double dip
