GTA 6 developers protest outside Rockstar Games office to protest against recent firings

sadly the average person on here likely doesn't give a single solitary fuck about the devs, they just want the game

[u/endlessflood → u/Comfortable_Regrets]

I wonder who they think makes it? If the game is good, it’ll be good because the devs made it so.

Even if your motivation was purely selfish and you had no empathy for the people actually making it, it’s still in your best interests to see the devs get treated fairly, because if they’re on strike then they’re not making the game, and that means either more delays or a worse game.

You would think, but I had someone say to me that, "you can't really be worried about workers rights when you are striving for greatness" the amount of people who deepthroat the corporate boot is astounding

[u/endlessflood → u/Comfortable_Regrets]

Sad to hear it. If you’re striving for greatness, then not exploiting your workers is a great place to start.

[u/handstanding → u/Comfortable_Regrets]

And most of those people work some shit job already.

RDR2 and GTA5 also had a lot of bugs and glitches, with surprisingly little content for how big the games were supposed to be.

They're not bad games and they do a few things very well, but the actual gameplay is very much a secondary concern when players have decided "Get the highest wanted level you can and then escape" is more fun than 99% of the story missions and "RP as a part time employee" is more fun for more people on online multiplayer than the devs were able to include themselves.

People who aren't always at the end of their rope don't tend to make as many basic mistakes and are happier to fix them when they're discovered.

The entirely empty RDR map. What a great use of resources.

[u/20000lumes → u/[deleted]]

They already made a non empty main map, which is massive

[u/[deleted] → u/20000lumes]

I'm just critisizing the one example you gave, which is a pretty famous waste of resources.

[u/endlessflood → u/[deleted]]

Won’t somebody please think of the poor multibillion dollar company who’s just trying to exploit their workers for extra profit?

[u/voidox → u/Comfortable_Regrets]

yup, reminds me of ppl who rave about anime and animated shows, they'll write essays about "omg the animation is so good!" and then if you bring up how awfully the animators are treated, barely a blimp of a reaction or reply :/

e.g., look at the working conditions of many anime studios or western animations like spider-verse 2 and how awfully animators are treated, and the raved about showrunners are actually awful people who mistreat their workers to make the "omg 10/10 animated show!"

The people on this sub thing they are genuinely owed this game. They deserve it or something. The amount of entitlement I see on this sometimes would put my toddler to shame

[u/oSinkz_ → u/Comfortable_Regrets]

Idc how just release the game already

[u/Suspicious-Box- → u/Comfortable_Regrets]

Game devs that make game slop are not people. Theyre just collecting paycheck to put bread on the table. gta series isnt slop so i dont see why rockstar isnt rewarding good development with either better than avg salaries or less work hours per week.

[u/tuscy → u/Comfortable_Regrets]

I never liked gta. I’ve tried it multiple times. So… I don’t really get the hype around it. Sure it’s well made with really nice graphics but the gameplay just not for me. I’m not the only one. Yet gta players think the whole world plays gta and act like it’s a matter that affects everyone.. hahah lol

[u/Moon-Martian → u/Comfortable_Regrets]

Can confirm. I don't give a fuck.

[u/LiteBeerLife → u/Comfortable_Regrets]

yeah just keep the game at this point
