        In case anyone thought the "rockstar" being referred to was Joe Strummer, it's actually Gene Simmons.

          > Like y’all don’t know what to do with GTA VI. Wait 2 goddamn extra years or however long until they release it for PC. The good news is by then I can easily justify upgrading my PC too. Right now it's hard to justify upgrading from my RTX 3060 Ti, but by 2027 or 2028 when the PC version comes out, I'm sure that there's something enticing available from all 3 GPU manufacturers (yay, we almost have competition now) and I can get the hell off Nvidia again finally.

            It was like 5 years ago but I heard a family friend working there was making 27k as a mid level dev.

              Previously decided never to buy a Rockstar game again (after an unplayable PC port on GTA 4) this just crystallizes that decision

                      Sales for GTA VI will probably be similar or higher compared to GTA V.

                        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 🤷‍♂️ 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.
