Such has been the case with Rockstar Games, which suffered from a major setback in the past few days. Sadly, a leaker published some exclusive footage of the upcoming GTA VI, putting the company in a difficult position. To this, the franchise put out a statement apologizing to fans, as they delayed the game until further notice.

However, during their dark time, Xbox Head Sarah Bond stood up by their side, extending her support to the franchise. She uploaded a dedicated tweet for them, pushing them to be strong in their dark time. Here’s what she said in her post, “My thoughts are with the team at @RockstarGames. It can be disheartening to have a project you’ve worked hard on to delight fans revealed and critiqued before it’s ready. I know they’re creating something special and can’t wait to experience GTA6 when it’s officially unveiled.”

This showed that despite being a business giant herself, she did not think twice before extending her support to Rockstar. After all, she also proved that humanity will always be one step ahead of business!
