“Rockstar has just carried out the most blatant and ruthless act of union busting in the history of the games industry,” IWGB [trade union] president Alex Marshall said in a statement provided to The Verge.
Alan Lewis, head of global corporate communications at Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive, responded, telling The Verge the firings were “for gross misconduct, and for no other reason,” without elaborating further.
Thoughts?
Like I needed another reason to hate this company. Fuck Rockstar and their shitty labor practices and that fucking launcher too!
I have still yet to own a computer (across about 4 entierly different PCs) that the steam port of GTA 4 runs on, and now afaik it doesn’t run at all due to a licensing thing.
I hope their big release gets cracked and pirated on Day Zero
Probably will, but it’s irrelevant if you boycott for realsies. Fuck 'em.
Take Two is probably even worse, fuck them too
Yeah, that also means Zynga (who the fuck cares) and 2K can eat shit. Man, this boycott list just keeps getting longer and longer. So long, Civilization!
Union busting as well?
