Why are leaks a big deal?

Game companies like Rockstar Games carefully control when and how they reveal information about new games, building excitement and managing expectations. Leaks, like the recent GTA 6 videos, can disrupt these plans, potentially showing unfinished content that doesn't represent the final product. This can lead to misinformation or disappointment among fans, and even impact the game's eventual success.
