    Nothing motivates unionization more than arbitrary firing.

    Shouldn’t the first step be to rehire under union protection, all 33 fired employees?

    Oops somehow Rockstar went bankrupt even though they GTA5 printed money for them. But luckily there’s this new investor, which totally isn’t the old owner wearing a fake mustache, who is willing to take a risk and take over the project and SOME of its personnel.

    Tax the fucking rich!

      GTA Online has made more than $5 Billion from shark cards alone. Printing money for them is a massive understatement.

    Huh. They unionized before GTA 6 came out. Hope this can extend to the people that got fired over this.

      We got Rockstar Dev Unions before we got GTA6

      Good

    What’s the play here? Were the developers expecting to mostly be cut after the game launched?

      That’s how 95% of the video game industry works. It’s all contract based.

      • If you complete the project and the game has terrible sales, your contract runs out and you need to find another studio to work for.

      • If you complete the project and the game becomes a record breaking smash hit success, your contract runs out and you need to find another studio to work for.

      Most likely yes.

  • explodicle@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’m still really mad about the firings, but way more likely to buy the game if a higher portion of the surplus is going to its creators.

  • DupaCycki@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I unironically hope the game never launches. I don’t think it’s gonna be an interesting game. Absolutely not worth all the trouble it’ll put on other studios. Also, fuck Rockstar and fuck Take-Two.

    At this point I hope this company perishes. GTA games aren’t what they used to be anyways. I wonder if there’s an opensource GTA-ish game ?

    • Baggie@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Can’t be that hard to make something close honestly. It’d be work, but with the right open source methodology and a little bit of love, you could get a lot of people involved really quickly I imagine.

      Actually that does still sound hard but fuck it.

      I want a mix of games. Farming Simulator, Flight Simulator, Burnout, Door Kickers. If you want to play one style, you do. But you get the ambient real time events of all the people playing the other games. Take my money and my idea.

        I miss couch coop racing games. I gave up on racers when burnout paradise was single player. Loved blur and split second. There was never a good follow up to either.

    I’m still a little concerned that one of the main characters is a woman so I might have to skip out on this GTA.

    source
    • LePoisson@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Lol I wonder what you wrote that garnered those initial reactions. Something whining about the game being too woke or what?

      Well, nonetheless, I unironically am looking forward to a woman being the main character. It’ll be a nice change of pace - I wonder if they’re going to keep the multi character stuff from GTA V or switch back to a solo protagonist.

        Unironically want that as well. People complaining about “wokeness” around here… God this place is going to shit.

      Bro try harder. You’re not even remotely funny.

      • SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        There’s nothing wrong with female main characters it just ruins the escapism for me.

      SMCF coming out with his most controversial take yet

    • Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I wish she was less pretty as Nico Bellic or the other characters weren’t.

      Why can’t she just be a normal looking lady, not ugly, but normal.

      I don’t want to be attracted to her…

        Yeah but than the typical gamer crowd would get mad, because they can’t goon
