    I pretty much only buy indie games at this point. Any game made by a company that benefits a stock ticker? You best believe I'm... (*checks what comm I'm in*) ..Acquiring it. Lol Funnily enough the one exception to this rule that I probably would have made was BF6 but they forced me to sit this one out by barring Linux users πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ So I'm playing Outer Worlds 2 instead rn.

        Is that allowed in the UK and Canada? As an American, I'm not familiar with the law there.

              Ugh I hope if it doesn't they'll at least sell it off to someone who can realistically keep it running. Though I have no idea who that would be at this point. It's going to suck if we're back to the duopoly.

                    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
