    Never talk about unionizing on company time, on company property, or with someone else that is, and *especially* with someone unvetted. Keep it private, keep it quiet.

      Game dev is predatory because people can and will do it for free. Many "dream jobs" have this issue.

          developers usually know what's up. assassin's creed 4, a pirate game that mimicked the assassin's creed series, made the templar's modern day front, abstergo, into a ubisoft parody. in that game abstergo literally makes assassin's creed games with ulterior motives. it was almost like the devs were going "man, fuck this dumbass company".

            If it's good enough to overthrow a government, you'd think it's good enough for a union

                    GTA6 will still sell millions of copies, many to people in threads just like this one that are appalled at RS's action.

                    Most people buying it will not know about this Many would not care A lot think that it is not their job punishing companies over how they treat their employees I think it is the government’s job to make laws that empower people taking jobs over people giving jobs, but as well, in my opinion, each and everyone has the responsibility to watch over government that they do the job right

                      True. Makes me wonder how they got caught? Discord basically not anonymos *by default*, so maybe no-one anonymized and someone in the channel reported it all to managment?

                      It sounds like they weren't being particularly secretive about anything. I think this was not an expected move https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nOwjeznjI
