I'd say I'll boycott GTA6, but that doesn't mean much, I wasn't going to get it anyway.
This is obviously illegal...

Nope. But they did delay the game again and they pinky promised they didn't fire these people to union bust.

I know why, its this one really cool trick for increasing shareholder value. Give it another quarter and that line will be going up up up!
Cunt company with cunty business practices
Note to self: don't buy GTA 6.

This has become standard practice in this industry now. The play is to work for indie companies or bust.

And they don’t need to. Just like we don’t need to give them a reason why we’re not going to buy their shit any more.
replies:
It's always the fucking suits.
And they never will
Personally I was never interested in GTA 6 to begin with, but this cemented my decision not to buy it under any circumstances.

Oh, fucking fuck off with your "deeply concerning", Starmer. Fucking useless politicians. Actually do something.
Maybe the reason is theyre terrible shitty people and rockstar doesnt wanna ruin their chances of a new job

maybe they had mapped out and developed this storyline about a weirdly orange-coloured real-estate tycoon that lives in a Mediterranean style villa called “Lago-a-mar” but somehow they had to throw all that out and start all over.
the unionbusting is just a coverup!
Because they cost money.
Because GTAV made over $700 million last year on 12 year old ip. They are in absolutely zero rush to release a sequel that may or may not flop in an era when it's clear that 90-100% of programming jobs will be eliminated within a decade.
Every programmer they replace with ai now is one less bonus to pay out after release.
