xbox tech chief says they're working with rockstar and take-two after the leaks

Xbox is "working closely" with GTA 6 makers Take-Two and Rockstar following leaks, tech chief says, "to support efforts to protect creative works"

Caught this over on GamesRadar. Xbox's tech chief apparently said they're working closely with Take-Two and Rockstar after all the leak mess. The quote floating around is something about supporting efforts to protect creative works.

Which, yeah, makes sense. Microsoft has a whole legal team and platform infrastructure. If Take-Two is going after whoever leaked stuff, Xbox would be one of the first places they'd ask for info. The source mentions a subpoena, so it sounds like Xbox is cooperating with that rather than fighting it.

I'm not gonna pretend to know the legal details. But it's interesting to see a platform holder publicly acknowledge this kind of cooperation. Usually these things stay quiet until court docs show up. The fact that a tech chief is talking about it at all feels a little unusual.

Also worth remembering this is the same Xbox that had its own FTC trial leaks a while back. So they know how messy this stuff gets. If they're helping Take-Two, it's probably because they don't want their platform associated with stolen GTA 6 material either.

What do you all think, is this just standard legal cooperation or does it signal something bigger about how seriously everyone is taking GTA 6 leaks?
