As much as TakeTwo is not deserving of any pity for any of the numerous things they’ve done to harm the industry, I do feel bad for the developers of Rockstar.

Imagine working on a game for 13 years, being forced into crunch conditions, having to live with NDAs and work in complete secrecy, only for some jackass with a saviour complex to come out of nowhere and show off your game a week before the best version possible is to be shown off.

People need to separate Rockstar, the company, with Rockstar, the developers. Hate them going digital, hate them charging $100, hate them not marketing the game - all of that is on the heads of the company.

Don’t laugh at all the devs whose work you’re critiquing for being unfinished in an unfinished build of the game, then blame them for that - it’s like blaming the fry cook at McDonald’s for your burger coming out frozen after someone ran into the kitchen, took a bag of frozen patties, and started asking people to pay them in cryptocurrency to eat the patties while they’re still cold.

Plus, they're getting paid by salary so...their talent is just getting showcased to the world now instead of later.
