    Good news prior to holiday sales. Makes it easier to avoid the entire publisher

    The same notoriously shitty company, Rockstar? Color me surprised. Don’t support them with anything.

    Turnover is so fucking high in that industry, anyone working in there now should have their CVs constantly ready in case they’re marked for retrenchment or layoff. Given the suits constant desire for pure profit, anyone wishing to apply for the big leagues should be thinking twice about this.

    Of all segments of the software industry, games seem to be the most exploitative. So sad, for what should be fun. Business execs taking advantage of those who cannot resist working on their passion. Unions need to get in that industry so very badly.

    Right, and for their next trick they’re gonna break the all-time sales record with GTA6 because no one gives a fuck and evil is just OK now.

      It’s extremely profitable. If you have a problem with that, I’ll fucking ruin your life. If you look like you might be able to make ruining your life difficult and it’ll cost me a lot to ruin your life, I’ll just save myself the trouble and spend it to give you enough to make you forget what you were upset about. I’d rather ruin your life. It’s usually very inexpensive and it does a great job of serving as an example of why you fucking ignorant peasants should know your place. You don’t want to end up like these upstarts, trying to form a union and resisting! It’s a cost benefit analysis, really. My account did the math.

      Yay capitalism!
