  Right, and for there next trick they’re gonna break the all-time sales record with GTA6 because no one gives a fuck and evil is just OK now.

    It’s extremely profitable. If you have a problem with that, I’ll fucking ruin your life. If you look like you might be able to make ruining your life difficult and it’ll cost me a lot to ruin your life, I’ll just save myself the trouble and spend it to give you enough to make you forget what you were upset about. It’s a cost benefit analysis, really. Yay capitalism!

  Good news prior to holiday sales. Makes it easier to avoid the entire publisher

    I’ve been avoiding them for years. They are incredibly hostile to their players.

    The most effective boycott is to not play it and not talk about it.

    It’s not like the official multiplayer servers are any good anyways.

      Or functional on Linux… Which makes me wonder… Is there a way to play GTA online on Linux through unofficial means?

  Turnover is so fucking high in that industry, anyone working in there now would have their CVs ready in case they’re marked for retrenchment or layoff. Given the suits constant desire for pure profit, anyone wishing to apply for the big leagues should be thinking twice about this.

  Never played RDR 2 because of their abuse of workers, and wasn’t planning on playing GTA. Please support smaller teams instead.

  The same notoriously shitty company, Rockstar? Color me surprised. Don’t support them with anything.

    Can I still pirate and share all their games? Lol

  Of all segments of the software industry, games seem to be the most exploitative. So sad, for what should be fun. Business execs taking advantage of those who cannot resist working on their passion. Unions need to get in that industry so very badly.

  The same company that declared a war against singleplayer and modding community because they wanted to make more money from online inapp sales? How shocking.
