!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  1. Fire a bunch of people who were forming a union, blame any other reason.

  2. Say game needs another 6 months to make perfect, don't acknowledge it's obviously because you just fired a bunch of people.

  3. Profit, because there's a huge GTA fan base of idiots

I haven't played a GTA game since 3ish. Had been thinking "maybe I'll jump back in when 6 launches".

Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll just continue playing the million other games in my backlog. Fuck AAAA greed.

Yeah, I didn't play V until this year when I got it for free.

I'll play GTA 6 someday, but probably not till it's at most $20.

They didn't seem to be directly related to development, so it's likely the other way around:
game gets delayed --> postpone cash flow --> need to save money on unnecessary roles.

Delayed to bust more Unions.

[–] MoreZombies@quokk.au 11 points 9 months ago

delaying it in hope people will forget the controversies by then.

Turns out they're in a pickle after firing their union-forming (i.e., most competent, confident and intelligent) employees.

I'm still buying it at launch because it's gta 6 and I doubt itll be bad, I never thought they werent scummy, idk why anyone thought they were a good comapny after gta online lol

Yeah, people are delusion if they think GTA will be boycotted. However shitty Rockstar is, one thing to admit is that they do deliver good, polished games. Well, as polished as you can with these humongous titles.

Im gonna get value for my money and play in a fun open world, and not lie to myself about it, I bet itll get delayed again tho and they didn't think firing them through

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 9 months ago

I'll be playing it on PC.

I'm not double dipping this one
