A leak about Red Dead Redemption 2 costs a gaming site more than one million euros. The leak revealed details about Red Dead Online back in February: the multiplayer mode is expected to receive housing and a battle royale.
Gaming site publishes apology: The site “Trusted Reviews” has issued an apology to Take-Two.
It states:
“On February 6, we published an article that was based on confidential, proprietary information. We should have treated this information as confidential and not published it.
We apologize unreservedly to Take-Two Games and have taken steps to ensure this does not happen again.
We have also agreed to donate one million pounds to a charity of Take-Two Games’ choosing.”
One million pounds is 1.134 million euros.
This is what Take-Two says: Take-Two states to Variety that it takes security issues seriously and takes legal action against anyone who leaks confidential information.
The money will be donated to these three organizations:
- The American Indian College Fund – the organization helps American Indians finance their education with scholarships
- The American Prairie Reserve – a kind of huge nature reserve is to be established in north Montana that preserves the natural landscape
- and the First Nations Development Institute – the institute helps American Indians with projects and promotes them
Take-Two is the publisher behind Red Dead Redemption 2.
This was in the leak: We reported on the article at the time. It contained some screenshots and early reports about “Red Dead Online,” the multiplayer online version of Red Dead Redemption 2.
There, players are expected to be able to freely explore the open world. There will also likely be housing – further findings confirm this now.
Additionally, there was talk of a battle royale mode, gambling, and much more. These 13 things we wish for Red Dead Online.
Rockstar has now confirmed that Red Dead Online is expected to be even more robust than “GTA Online”.
Whether all of this will actually go live and all parts of the leak will prove true will be seen in November when Red Dead Online launches in beta. The leak was, at least, expensive.
