Ars Technica cited Rockstar's statement confirming that the network intrusion involved early development footage. This archive's confirmed status applies only to the intrusion and leak, not to every piece of material circulating online.
Development footage is not the finished game
Development footage cannot serve as a promise of final visual quality, a feature list or performance. This site records only public responses and reporting; it does not include stolen source code, original leaked videos or download links.
