The GTA 5 Source Code was Sold for just $2,000

In the wake of a significant security breach at Rockstar Games, the internet has been abuzz with the circulation of numerous data pieces related to Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 5. Emerging details suggest that the source code for the iconic game may have been acquired for a surprisingly modest sum of $2,000.

Reportedly, a group of modders is the new owner of the game's underlying code, having purchased it for the stated amount. However, their scheme to flip the asset for three times the price—up to $6,000—fizzled when they found no takers. With their resale efforts thwarted, frustration within the group seemed to grow, ultimately leading to the code being leaked online.

A user by the moniker TMP indicated a certain disdain towards the game, expressing a lack of concern for the repercussions of their actions by suggesting a total dissemination of the code. When another user highlighted the gravity of the situation and the potential fallout, TMP remained defiant, insisting on releasing the code in its entirety without holding back.

The reality of these communications remains under scrutiny; Insider Gaming has yet to confirm the authenticity of the leaked direct messages. Until such validation occurs, it is advisable to treat this narrative with a degree of skepticism.
