And yeah it’s not passing the vibe check. The layoffs smell less like “business decisions” and more like classic union-busting tactics. Protests are popping off, lawmakers are raising eyebrows, and the studio’s silence is only making things louder. When trust breaks, even hype can’t cover the cracks.
Rockstar still hasn’t dropped a solid explanation for cutting loose 30+ GTA 6 devs.

AI must be getting really good or this was posted really recently.
If this is AI, this is the newest example of “so good I can’t tell” territory. One of my usual checks is font consistency and this is super crisp throughout. Odd it doesn’t show up anywhere else on the Internet though.
Modern internet sucks to try and figure out what was and wasn’t made passionately by a human.

It’s gotten a lot better at big bold text. Look at the stuff in the box, though, and the newspaper print. Also, a lot of the figures are in nearly identical poses. That’s something image gen does a lot.

Look at the keyboard in the box. The layout makes zero sense and several keys are sunken in.
As far as the font is concerned, I noticed the R in “ANSWER” looks different from the R directly the the right of it.

Using AI to protest this is a wild choice.

It’s not like it’s a mystery, but they’re not just going to outright say, “we were union-busting.”

I know a lot of people are looking forward to this game and in a way I hope they get a great game. They enjoy on the other hand. I hope this is a huge flop for rockstar.

Who cares? Because in the end you all will most likely buy it anyway. No matter how shitty it will be, it will sell millions and then micro transactions.
Those 5 or 6 people who actually try to vote with their wallet have long become absolutely irrelevant. And the raised base price of those AAA games does the rest.

One can only assume they would have gotten a release bonus which is why they held back the release date and fired 30+ devs before it actually makes an appearance.

Making slop in “support” of artists. Oof.
