So what do you think?
Legit?
Troll?
This seems to be most believable leak I've seen.
Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Sep 17, 2013
It seems a little strange he would attach a hashtag to those updates, and it seems even weirder that he would make it so obvious he worked for Rockstar. Anyway, the map could be legit, I s'pose, It looks like a quick snapspot of a computer screen of some sort, though it doesn't look like there are many roadways on there, so it's hard to get a feel for how big it is.
Either fake or or viral marketing. I'd imagine Rockstar would have more of a wrap on this sort of thing, so I don't think it's a legit leak.
Looks likely to be legitimate but it's so empty of detail that it wasn't even worth bothering to do.

Well technically you can, if you wanted to be a dick to your employer.
Even if it was legit -- what would be the point? That is pretty useless information. No real detail at all, seems like if you were going to do something like this you would leak something more important.

Only because they are laws, doesn't mean you can't break them. (Or something like that)
And is it just me, or those grey areas look a lot like MS paint brushes?
The grey areas do look a little suspicious. Especially the one on the bottom of the map.
@xobballox: oh you mean like a map showing that the game is only taking place in a revamped Los Santos instead of the whole state of San Andreas like everyone seems to believe it will, yea thats not important at all :|

Not all employees sign NDA. Since its a cell phone pic it could have been anyone just walking by.
Also the bottom does look brushed but might have been to cover up something...who knows. But anyways its just a map of a game they already announced no big deal. If it is real I do like this employees style, go out with a bang. And get your unemployment when the end up firing you, lol.
Probably fake. If he wanted to quit and leak stuff, why wait until right after they announce the game and where it takes place? Only after everyone knows where the game is does he put up an image of a map with those places on it.

This is like saying it's illegal to kill anyone and there is police to stop that. You can't just shoot anyone with a gun.
Who takes a statement like that and takes it completely literal? Of course he CAN do whatever he wants. I'm just saying it's unwise to do if you leave yourself open to being caught.
If you're outside on a hot day and someone turns to you and says, "Damn, this heat is killing me." Do you instantly run over and check their pulse?
Goddamn it, internet.
You can clearly see that it's been photoshopped. I hate to be the "I can tell by the pixels" guy but you can see how sloppy the brush work is in the first picture. Probably just copied a real map of the area, brushed out the parts that wouldn't have to do with it, and took a photo of his monitor. Calling fake on this.

Total bullshit. No one would leak something and then give themselves away by saying "I resign in two weeks." Yeah right, like no one would catch on.
Wouldn't they already be given away? Wouldn't the company know their own employees twitter? But your probably right anyway.
