Pfft…Like y’all don’t know what to do with GTA VI.
Rockstar have been pieces of shit for decades. Didn’t change anything then, and unfortunately, it probably won’t now.
light my beard on fire?
Play it so much that you don’t notice your crew set your beard on fire and left without you?
look up the life and times of Edward Teach.
Huh, I assumed that photo was just AI nonsense. But from the Wikipedia article:
He was reported to have tied lit fuses (slow matches) under his hat to frighten his enemies.
Roll it up with gunpowder, stick it in my ears, and light it on fire?
Don’t play it?
Like y’all don’t know what to do with GTA VI.
Wait 2 goddamn extra years or however long until they release it for PC.
The good news is by then I can easily justify upgrading my PC too. Right now it’s hard to justify upgrading from my RTX 3060 Ti, but by 2027 or 2028 when the PC version comes out, I’m sure that there’s something enticing available from all 3 GPU manufacturers (yay, we almost have competition now) and I can get the hell off Nvidia again finally.
yay, we almost have competition now
Hold your horses, Intel is going through some stuff, and I hope the GPU division survives.
Ugh I hope if it doesn’t they’ll at least sell it off to someone who can realistically keep it running. Though I have no idea who that would be at this point.
It’s going to suck if we’re back to the duopoly.
Pirate it? Yeah, I’ll probably do that.
What a joke. Fuck rockstar.

Rockstar bad

If you’re going to organize a union, don’t fucking use Discord…
If it’s good enough to overthrow a government, you’d think it’s good enough for a union
Some companies are wealthier than most countries.
*many
Most countries are poor…

Weren’t the antagonists of rdr2 the pinkertons?
developers usually know what’s up. assassin’s creed 4, a pirate game that mimicked the assassin’s creed series that ended with ac3, made the templar’s modern day front, abstergo, into a ubisoft parody. in that game abstergo literally makes assassin’s creed games with ulterior motives. it was almost like the devs were going “man, fuck this dumbass company” and did that as a middle finger to their bosses.
Never talk about unionizing on company time, on company property, or with someone else that is, and especially with someone unvetted.
Keep it private, keep it quiet.
Boycott all of the billionaire owned mother fuckers. Bleed them out of their bunkers.
That’s against the law, but don’t count on this DoJ to enforce it.
wrong country 😅
Is that allowed in the UK and Canada? As an American, I’m not familiar with the law there.
Previously decided never to buy a Rockstar game again (after an unplayable PC port on GTA 4) this just crystallizes that decision
It was like 5 years ago but I heard a family friend working there was making 27k as a mid level dev.
At a certain point the blame lies with the worker, I am pro union but jesus have some self respect and look for better.
Game dev is predatory because people can and will do it for free. Many “dream jobs” have this issue.
We don’t respect you anymore though Rockstar.
In case anyone thought the “rockstar” being referred to was Joe Strummer, it’s actually Gene Simmons.
union organising
discordpass, shit news though, unsurprising
I know Discord has it’s flaws, but why would that discredit them from organising a union? Would you referred if they had used Teams or an email chain?
It’s interesting how Discord absolutely nukes its own trust by pretending to be more than it is. I loathe discord, to the point I’d use a competitor (not teams) just to evade it. I’m sick of finding a hobby group using it as a Frankenstein forum / chat / info hub when it’s only built for chat.
Discord is fine for this use, but I’m getting used to the distrusting it so often that it blends into reasonable use.
It’s freaking everyone. Every niche is Discord now. It’s so annoying.
…That being said, this is likely a private chat group. That’s ostensibly what its for.
They probably should’ve used something anonymized with non-persistant chat, but still.
Hard to organize when you can’t look at history.
Not to mention, discord can easily be anonymous, and you can easily kill off viewing history.
True.
Makes me wonder how they got caught? Discord basically not anonymos by default, so maybe no-one anonymized and someone in the channel reported it all to managment?
I wouldn’t doubt they required some sort of “prove you’re in the company” or something, or were shooting the shit publicly in a way that would allow for easy identification.
Apparently they have a ¹BitchSky account, email, and phone line you can reach the unionist at. I am not particularly interested in non-cooperative owned businesses to deal with a self-defeating compromise. (2×🔗)
If they make a threadiverse account, jabber, or other privacy respecting p2p, then maybe I’ll ask them details of their discord leakage.
Well, never giving my money to Rockstar again then :)
I think this comment will age like milk once GTA6 has been out on PC for a decade
Wait, why that comment?
Sales for GTA VI will probably be similar or higher compared to GTA V.
I pretty much only buy indie games at this point. Any game made by a company that benefits a stock ticker? You best believe I’m… (checks what comm I’m in) …Acquiring it. Lol
Funnily enough the one exception to this rule that I probably would have made was BF6 but they forced me to sit this one out by barring Linux users 🤷♂️ So I’m playing Outer Worlds 2 instead rn.
I tried downloading the BF6 free demo and I had to jump through a bunch of hoops trying to get it to run just to find that because the last time I used my EA account was a decade ago, my Steam account is banned from their servers until I go through customer support to unlock it.
And that last bit is wild because the one that doesn’t require Windows for PC gamers is the one owned by Microsoft.
… (checks what comm I’m in) …Acquiring it.
most relatable thing I’ve heard all day 😂
Outer Worlds 2
I’m pretty sure Obsidian Entertainment qualifies as AAA.
Correct. 😉
Ah, so you’re saying you only play one AAA game and the rest are indies?
They’re saying they pirate them

Thanks for the recommendations! Especially Easy Red 2 👀
I am a big fan of the Red Orchestra/Rising Storm series and there is a mod coming out soon for Rising Storm 2 called Black Orchestra that I’m planning to fill the Battlefield shaped hole in my heart with. It’s in beta right now, but you best believe I’ll be letting everyone know about it when it hits steam.
So I’m playing Outer Worlds 2 instead rn.
Oh, thanks. I didn’t know that that was out until you mentioned it.
I’m the same way. I might have got BF6, I played the beta and fell in love cause it felt like BC2 which was my favorite BF game.
Sadly the hoops I had to jump through to even get it to work on a windows system, let alone getting it to work on my Debian system, combined with the price tag was enough to hard push me away from buying it.
It’s a shame because the game was stupid levels of fun, and felt organic. They just are out-casting their userbase by their decisions to block Non-Windows systems.
I’m sure the department of labor will get right on this case…
I know you’re being sarcastic, but if does point out the fact that capitalism is only held in check by government. RockStar obviously waited until they knew they could get away with it given the current attitudes in all branches of the US government.
Did the USA invade the UK last night and I didn’t notice?
Now, to be fair I got an early night, it was Halloween and the nutters were out in force so I popped the ol’ sleeping plugs in and nodded off, but I think I’d notice when I got up for brekkie and the yanks were marching down the road xD
“The Grand Theft Auto maker terminated between 30 and 40 staffers across multiple offices in the UK and Canada”
lol, this is what I deserve for not reading the damn article
People don’t realise GTA is a British franchise
Yeah. Aren’t they in Scotland?
Ngl, I’d pirate the shit out of GTA:Milton Keynes
GTA: Slough
Hold out for the Luton expansion, they developed 13 more shades of concrete, just for the game!
Lmao
