For several days, the GTA VI leak looked like a distribution problem: remove one clip and another copy appears somewhere else. Take-Two's latest filings show a different phase. The publisher is trying to turn accounts, IP records and device information into real identities.

They are attempting to turn the enormous attention surrounding Rockstar into a platform, leverage and a promotional tool.
