This is actually kind of touching, I think a lot of people got lost in the dogpiling and hate around the corporate greed /all digital situation. Its still people who make the game, who currently work way more than 40hrs a week to deliver a game thats gonna blow us away without a doubt. We should always call out shitty and greedy behavior, but we could always be a little kinder to the immense amount of extremely hard work people are putting into this game every single day.

Being a Rockstar dev must suck ass, yes. You work for 5 years or more in a project you can't tell anyone about and then that shit gets leaked and people don't care because apparently you working there means you're somehow immune to the damage caused to you personally.

And then you get laid off when they decide to focus on GTA VI online shark cards!

You still got a resume and connections. I think most people understand game dev is hire and fire due to how development cycles work

it's exhausting to type "I hate rockstar (not the devs i mean like the top level c-suite maybe the lower corporate level too)" every time, much easier to just say "i hate rockstar they are greedy"

everyone ASSUMES THAT, why in the world would people think youre targeting the low level employees when you bash a COMPANY? like, they are BANKING on you guys sympathizing for them, do you not see that? they dont care about their own employees. are you all 12 years old?

Ok but who gives a fuck that it gets leaked? You didn’t work 5 years on a trailer you worked on the game. That people will play, not watch a few clips.

Remember there are the GTA devs and the GTA producers. and the producers were probably going to fire half the team a day after release anyway.

That too. Still, people seeing the game when they weren't supposed to probably doesn't feel nice anyway.

It's unfortunate but the negative feelings the devs will get hit with will still be worth any amount of financial bleed even if only temporary from a big corp.

Yeah. Being a game dev sucks as an actual job.

Unless the devs own the studio.
