More apt analogy would be a workprint of a movie being leaked. This happened with "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" where lots of the special effects were still in progress so the workprint looked really cheap in some parts.

But the people likely to watch a workprint and then form their opinion on that is incredibly small.

Hmm, perhaps. But the GTA leak had a bunch of debug overlays and developer tools on the screen. It was very clearly not a finished product. A workprint for a movie doesn't generally have the same types of visual clues to indicate what a viewer is looking at. So I'm not sure that a movie workprint is the right comparison here.
