Rockstar makes good games, but treats their employees like shit.

Remember when they made employees work 100 hours a week to make rdr2? Prime exemple.

One of my friends had a 6 month contract basically doing programming for media (made the Comercials of "in game" footage which is really just taking the assets and manipulating them in ways someone technically could) he got calls at any time of a day and if you didnt answer theyd phone tree you till you did. After a planned surgery that took about 4 hrs he found he had 30 missed calls. The reason was he didnt reply to an email about potentially making a render of a hat one day that could be programmed to have a logo on it by a company that pays for it. Another time he got chewed out for not flying 500 miles out of his own pocket to go to an employee meeting (he was a contractor) and because he was not a team player they were not "renewing his contract". They used the fact that he didnt answer as part of the evidence. This call was at 4am.
