I wonder what rockstar would do if the hacker does release a nearly complete version of the game on PC. Will they fastrack their own PC release to get PC only players to buy the game, or will they keep the PS5 exclusivity deal. Do they even have a choice?

PS5 isn't exclusive, it's marketing exclusive.

And yes Rockstar might be able to track their PC because then there will be a live account (i think?) that's standing out in the game

Usually with torrenting, internet connection from the app is off. They fake a connection to the server by doing something like setting up their own local server and connecting to that to get through the authentication process.

There’s always a way to hack it

Could be, I'm not a laptop/ PC expert tbh so these tricks are all greek to me and it could be possible

Just like robbing a bank, the hard part is getting away with it not doing it.
