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.
What’s the play here? Were the developers expecting to mostly be cut after the game launched?
Most likely yes.
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
Oops somehow Rockstar went bankrupt even though 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 the risk and take over the project and SOME of its personnel.
Tax the fucking rich!
Tomorrow: gta 6 cancelled
Good
Rockstar ain't gonna be very pleased to hear that
GTA 6 release canceled in 3 ...
one could only hope for that outcome honestly... I'd love to see rockstar hurt themselves stupidly bad because union...
It would be welcome if they felt such a sting that they relented, but most of these major players just throw away complete pieces of art. Look at Batgirl, or the PC port of Ghost of Yōtei.
GTA 6 CaNcElLeD bEfOrE GTA 6 !!!1111???
Nothing motivates unionization more than arbitrary firing.
Shouldn't the first step be to rehire under union protection, all 33 fired employees?
