As always, thanks for reporting and shining a light. Very disheartening to see big studios get away with this

The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6
YouTube video by People Make Games The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Aloy's story is about fighting back against the apocalyptic effects of hubristic tech CEOs whose greed and short sightedness destroyed civilization

why is it if a game studio is not making 200% revenue YoY then the axe gets brought out? I understand itโ€™s a business but maybe chill for a minute, not everything needs or can have sustainable explosive growth every quarter

Reminder that a game can still be challenging, rewarding, AND accessible. Accessibility never has and never will compromise gameplay, so long as you do it right.

Making a game accessible AND fun is the difference between any designer vs. a great designer.

Thank you for shedding light on this stuff. Itโ€™s crazy to think about how we know how bad it can be for game devs in America.. but then not even consider how AAA is treating their outsourced folks overseas even worse.

WHAT the fuck??? Iโ€™m so sorry to hear that โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน fwiw, rec room is in seattle and weโ€™re hiring an engineer for our avatars. Iโ€™m not sure how similar that is to character rigging but I thought Iโ€™d put it out there. I hope you find something soon
