“Don’t boycott GTA 6. Win justice for the people who helped make it. We spent years pouring our hard work, skill, and creativity into making GTA, and we want people to experience the universe that we helped build,” former developers said. “That doesn’t mean we want to let Rockstar off the hook.”
This guy does not understand how capitalism works.
This guy’s brain is truly cooked if he thinks buying the game will hold Rockstar accountable, and not just financially reward their shitty practices.
I’m at the conclusion that their work visas expired, and they need the game to succeed in order to stay in
I would have already found another job to keep my visa valid.
I can see two or three reasons.
They have an ongoing lawsuit with R*, probably not the best optics to call for a boycott. Calling for the opposite shows you in a good light however. Always want to be seen as dealing in good faith when it comes to court.
Artists want their art to be seen by the world, even if they don’t directly benefit from it anymore.
They don’t want to be seen as vengeful by potential future employers.
How does that make any sense? These people no longer work for Rockstar, the game’s success has absolutely no bearing on their lives any more.
I am equally dumbfounded as well.
If only there was some way to address these unionists what demands need to be met, and what their goals truly are.
I know for sure they can’t syndicate. Not on work visas.
