About Leonida Intel
Independent GTA VI reference work with a confirmed-first editorial policy. Rumours, reports, community finds, and predictions stay visibly separated from official material.
MASTHEAD
How this site is run
Leonida Intel is maintained by a small editorial desk with a confirmed-first policy, clear sourcing, and visible correction standards.
RD
Research Desk
Sources, map notes & archives
Tracks Rockstar material, trusted reporting, trailer frames, and community map work so every claim has a clear confidence level.
Rumours are labelled as speculation and kept separate from confirmed entries.
EDITORIAL STANDARDS
How we decide what's true
CONFIRMED
A claim is tagged Confirmed only when it appears in:
- - An official Rockstar Games release (Newswire post, trailer, press kit, social post)
- - A Take-Two Interactive earnings call, SEC filing, or on-the-record press release
- - First-party metadata (e.g. PSN/Xbox store listings published by Rockstar)
Confirmed entries link to their primary source on every detail page.
REPORTED
A claim is tagged Reported when it comes from a tier-1 outlet (Bloomberg, IGN, Polygon, Eurogamer, Kotaku, VGC) but has not been confirmed by Rockstar. We name the outlet, link the original article, and avoid stating the claim as fact in our own voice.
COMMUNITY FIND
A claim is tagged Community Find when it comes from evidence-backed fan mapping, trailer-frame matching, skyline alignment, road geometry, or a source-linked submission. We show the reasoning and keep it below Confirmed until first-party evidence is stronger.
RUMOUR
Claims from anonymous leakers, fan concepts and community speculation stay clearly labelled and separate from confirmed coverage.
PREDICTION
Prediction means Leonida Intel analysis based on Rockstar precedent, prior GTA systems, or visible design patterns. It is never presented as sourced fact and should change quickly when new evidence arrives.
RETRACTED
When new information disproves a previous claim we tag the original entry "Retracted", strike through the wrong claim, link to the correction, and add the retraction to our corrections log. We don't quietly delete things.
CORRECTIONS & TAKEDOWNS
If we got something wrong
Email hello@leonida-intel.com with the URL and what needs checking. We aim to acknowledge corrections within 24 hours and either correct, retract, or explain our reasoning. Material errors get a dated correction note on the page itself, not a silent edit.
For copyright takedowns or trademark concerns from Rockstar Games / Take-Two Interactive, see our legal page. Rights-holder concerns are reviewed promptly and we remove or adjust material where required.
FUNDING & INDEPENDENCE
How we pay the bills
Leonida Intel is funded by display advertising (Google AdSense), paid Pro access, and clearly disclosed affiliate links where relevant.
We do not accept paid editorial placements, sponsored coverage, or "press trip" arrangements. If a publisher offers free product for review, we say so explicitly on the article.
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or financially connected to Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive in any way.
