Mostly easy, in any case. Plans change, and AAA games development is fraught, to say the least. There's also the usual grain-of-salt disclaimer to any claims of hush-hush insider intel, but TheGhostOfHope has proven themselves so legitimate that Activision Blizzard managed to court-order them to stop leaking Call of Duty content.

Pretty straightforward, and from a fairly consistently reliable source. Again, things can change. But that's the aim. And Rockstar has the fuel to potentially make it so.
There's already precedent, too, even if I'd caution against looking at how things operated in the industry over a dozen years ago versus today. Grand Theft...
