An anonymous GTAForums user, FrankieLiberty, has released internal Rockstar Games documents from the early 2000s.
This was done to protest against a collector, John Doe, who is accused of selling stolen Rockstar content for profit.
What Happened?
FrankieLiberty claims that John Doe has been buying and reselling Rockstar’s internal files, including sensitive documents and game assets, at inflated prices. They say Doe acts as a “fence” to protect ex-developers who leaked the content.
To expose Doe’s actions, FrankieLiberty shared a collection of Rockstar design documents. These files include details about GTA: San Andreas, GTA: Advance, GTA: Vice City Stories, and even a 2001 plan for GTA Online.
What Do the Files Show?
The leaked documents provide rare insights into Rockstar’s development process. They include:
- Gameplay mechanics and quest details.
- Maps and screenshots from San Andreas.
- A 2001 overview of GTA Online, including NPCs, environments, and gameplay ideas.
Why the Protest?
FrankieLiberty accuses John Doe of harming the community and Rockstar Games. They say Doe profits by reselling stolen files and claims to care about security, but his actions show otherwise.
The files released by FrankieLiberty are not new leaks. Instead, they are reuploads of files that John Doe had already sold to others.
This incident has sparked debates about ethics in the gaming community. Fans are divided over whether releasing these files was the right way to protest.
