In light of the recent criticism that Rockstar Games has been facing for its firing of over 30 employees, one employee from the studio has taken to the GTA Forums to talk about the company’s actions. Under request of anonymity, and having been verified as a real Rockstar Games employee by an admin, the person – using the name Organize – has further criticised the Grand Theft Auto developers, calling the company out for union busting.
They make so much money on their games. I don’t understand why they have to be like this.
Happy healthy employees will just take these amazing games to the next level. WTF.
these rockstar execs are not only greedy but they are also dumb as shit
Same thing as return to office. It’s not even about the money, it’s about power and control.
It feels like we’re in such an advanced stage of capitalism that even profit motive has become secondary to completely insane sociopathic power tripping. Even the ideas of having a content workforce to improve productivity and a good product to retain a loyal customer base have gone down the toilet. Large companies now just flagrantly lie and cheat more than ever.
That is my observation too. Money is no longer the end goal, it’s now the means for unlimited power play with the general society.
