GTA V’s Source Code Is Rumored to Have Been Sold
And for a meager sum of $2,000

Website exputer.com reports that, based on X user _Dyllie_’s words, the stolen source code for GTA V was sold to a group associated with GTA modding accounts for just $2,000.

The entire story is fascinating:

“The GTA5 source code was leaked out of spite; here’s why: The GTA5 source code was allegedly bought for $2000 USD (LTC) in a group buy amongst a group in the modding community. (I'm not entirely sure which modding group to join; I’m being told several different things.)   Allegedly, one of the members of the group buy: Kieron Austin, (also goes by Austinator Modz, XBL Dragonfly, TMP, TickleMePickles, and SecretSauce.). "TMP" is short for "TickleMePickles," his original account that got banned (as you can see in one of the screenshots). He allegedly contributed no money during that group purchase. Which resulted in him getting the source for free. He allegedly then tried to sell the code for $6k ($4000 USD profit) and scam another individual (he failed).   Kieron then attempted several times to sell the source code for $199–500 USD to individuals on Discord, which is way cheaper than the initial $2000 group buy. That doesn’t matter for Kieron, as he paid nothing to get it to begin with; this was all profit for him.   Kieron continued to try and sell it but was making no profit. As a result of this, he leaked it out of spite. If he wasn’t able to make a profit, he was going to make sure no one else could.   There’s a lot of detail left out of this story, as I am reporting on what I was told by two credible people. It seems a lot of the other information I won’t report on is either personal information or stuff I'm not 100% sure about reporting on. I’m also being told different things by different people. If anything else comes up, I’ll be sure to report on what I’m told.”

Recently, FGC was also struck with hacking scandals: first, the Tekken 8 CBT and then, the Tekken 8 Demo were hacked, with players getting access to restricted content.
