We didn't start a website.
We just kept playing.

Leone started as a group chat. Not a brand, not a startup — a group chat of friends who kept ending up on the same servers. Some of us met in 2011 on a Minecraft world that shouldn't have been able to hold 12 people. It did anyway. That was the first time a video game meant something more than a game to us.

Then 2013 happened. GTA V. That midnight release rewired something. We stopped being kids who played games and became a crew that lived in one. Sunrises over Vinewood. Heists that we planned like real jobs and blew like idiots. Convoys that had no point. That was the second time we fell in love with gaming — and honestly, we've been chasing that feeling ever since.

Minecraft servers grew into LeoneMC — a community of 20K+ that still runs events, tournaments, and hosts more chaos than any sane person should sign up for. But when the first GTA 6 trailer dropped, the whole friend group knew: this was the third one. The Minecraft feeling. The 2013 feeling. Back for round three.

So we made Leone GTA. Not because the internet needs another GTA site — because we needed a place to put all of this energy. A weekly giveaway so someone in our community gets a free copy. Guides written by the people who'll actually be up at 3AM figuring the map out. And a Discord where you can just... talk about the game with people who care as much as you do.

That's the whole pitch. No funnel, no upsell, no crypto. Just a group chat that got a little out of hand.
