Rather than calling for GTA 6 boycott, fired Rockstar workers urge players to support them in their legal battle against the studio by buying union merch

  Yes! Make a union, start a unionized game studio, and make better games. The talent is all there.

    The talent is all there.

    Apparently that’s the biggest problem with the new halo mmo or whatever they’re cooking up. All the talent that actually made these games possible was laid off and isn’t part of the company.

    A gaming union just might be able to get the band back together.

    Syndicate*

    Unions still 🥾👅 capitalists. In this case, TTWO. You want talent to own their means, and earn their yields. So syndicate.

      Thank you :) I've only been aware of the term "crime syndicate" but never looks up the single term syndicate. You learn something new everyday!

  I will buy GTA 6 in a decade, once it’s fixed and on sale.

  No, I think I’m definitely going to boycott this incredibly scummy game. I wish them luck in their legal battle though.

  I wasn’t going to buy it anyway, surprisingly i don’t have the slightest interest in it but then again i did find GTA 4 and 5 boring af, the last one i enjoyed was San Andreas.

    same- never finished the single player story.

    GTA 5 was beautiful in the way Forza Horizon titles are- as a realistic looking arcade-driving game. Id enjoy hours of (modded in) old school taxi missions. And its a great world for MP servers.

    But now I have BeamNG

    I feel like I’m all alone in this opinion, but third person over the shoulder cover shooters are almost universally boring. I’ve heard amazing things about RDR 1 and 2 but couldn’t get over the fact that the combat sucks so hard.

      Oh no you are not, i tried to like it and i just finished the intro which was sooo goddamn long, climbing, blizzard and i don’t know what other crap i had to do just play as i want and by the time i was done and i guess at the camp i just didn’t want to play anymore, i was so bored by it that i haven’t tried it since, it’s been 5 years btw.

      I think it’s because people praise it too much and it’s great for them but for me it might be some similar game from a smaller studio that’s kinda the same but a bit more relaxed.

  They also appear to have a fundraiser for the same thing here of you want to donate but don’t need a shirt

  actionnetwork.org/…/support-rockstar-workers-figh…

  Or if you want to donate to the Union directly you can do so here

  iwgb.org.uk/en/page/solidarity-squad/

  I’m in no way associated with them, I spent all of 10 seconds searching for those links, there is some indication the two links might ultimately go to the same place, but either way I thought I’d drop them in the comments if there was anyone else like me that would want to throw them some money but didn’t need another “thing” in return.
