GTA 6 developers have formally announced a union to combat Rockstar Games’ actions which will be debated in court. On Thursday, the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB) a…
Can’t be that hard to make something close honestly. It’d be work, but with the right open source methodology and a little bit of love, you could get a lot of people involved really quickly I imagine.
I want a mix of games. Farming Simulator, Flight Simulator, Burnout, Door Kickers. If you want to play one style, you do. But you get the ambient real time events of all the people playing the other games. Take my money and my idea.
I miss couch coop racing games. I gave up on racers when burnout paradise was single player. Loved blur and split second. There was never a good follow up to either.
I unironically hope the game never launches. I don’t think it’s gonna be an interesting game. Absolutely not worth all the trouble it’ll put on other studios. Also, fuck Rockstar and fuck Take-Two.
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.
That’s how 95% of the video game industry works. It’s all contract based.
If you complete the project and the game has terrible sales, your contract runs out and you need to find another studio to work for.
If you complete the project and the game becomes a record breaking smash hit success, your contract runs out and you need to find another studio to work for.
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.
Lol I wonder what you wrote that garnered those initial reactions. Something whining about the game being too woke or what?
Well, nonetheless, I unironically am looking forward to a woman being the main character. It’ll be a nice change of pace - I wonder if they’re going to keep the multi character stuff from GTA V or switch back to a solo protagonist.
On the other hand, there is something incredibly funny about a man so uncomfortable in themselves and their identity that they think a woman in a video game is an issue.
No, the issue you have is internal. If you aren’t comfortable in yourself, the most manly thing you can do is to come to terms with it and not worry about everyone else. Real men, who are comfortable being men, aren’t constantly worrying about what others think about them, or what other people are doing. They let others do what they want, because it doesn’t actually effect who they are.

At this point I hope this company perishes. GTA games aren’t what they used to be anyways. I wonder if there’s an opensource GTA-ish game ?

Actually that does still sound hard but fuck it.

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.
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…

GTA 6 CaNcElLeD bEfOrE GTA 6 !!!1111???
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
What’s the play here? Were the developers expecting to mostly be cut after the game launched?

Most likely yes.

Tax the fucking rich!
GTA Online has made more than $5 Billion from shark cards alone. Printing money for them is a massive understatement.
Shouldn’t the first step be to rehire under union protection, all 33 fired employees?
Nothing motivates unionization more than arbitrary firing.
Tomorrow: gta 6 cancelled
Good
I’m really looking forward for a woman as a main character in a GTA game.
I wish she was less pretty as Nico Bellic or the other characters weren’t.
Why can’t she just be a normal looking lady, not ugly, but normal.
I don’t want to be attracted to her…
Yeah but than the typical gamer crowd would get mad, because they can’t goon

Unironically want that as well. People complaining about “wokeness” around here… God this place is going to shit.
Bro try harder. You’re not even remotely funny.
There’s nothing funny about a female lead in a game though.
On the other hand, there is something incredibly funny about a man so uncomfortable in themselves and their identity that they think a woman in a video game is an issue.

Please most of these fuckers were playing tomb raider to jerk off to laras pyramid titties on the psx.
Hey I enjoyed the horizon series.
Keep it up. It’s always a treat seeing you in the comments.
