No really it’s an open secret they are a terrible company to work for.
Ya…this is nothing new sadly.
Uff awhile back there was a talk from a reporter that Rockstar tried to get rid of crunch altogether it is sad that didn’t last
The one time idgaf, finish the god dam game.
Nothing new. They’ve always been abusive.
I never understood the gender pay gap arguments. Like if they’re hiring new employees, they’re required by law to offer the same pay without gender discrimination. But if it’s a company like Rockstar, I’m sure there are many employees working for decades that have made some of the biggest and best open-world games of all time. And many of them would be men because people who went into game development at that time had an overwhelming majority of men. So what should Rockstar do now? Offer the same wages to newer, less proven employees to lessen the wage gap? Like how does this work practically?
All companies are like this, it’s perspective, bonus should be performances based so that’s technically weaponizing it.
A lot of industries have crunch or a busy season, why is it only a a scandal when it happens to game devs
Ya don’t say. Pos company is a pos. Like most others
Isn’t gender pay gap a proven myth? If one gender is cheaper, then they would just hire that particular gender instead of the other?
Sounds like a Rockstar game.
Is it a pay gap between workers in the *same* position though? Because I doubt it. If they did that then they’d be incentivized to only hire female employees.
Aww shit, here we go again…png
lol so many people bending over to cop it in the arse in defence for their glorious Rockstar. I reckon most of you would give up one of your children to play GTA6. Sad
Who is surprised. Easier to require crunch when everyone else is getting laid off. 🙁
Didn’t rockstar fire an entire UK studio for talking about unionizing?
The studios that bragged about its crunch culture enables crunch?!!?
And people say to buy the games full price to „support the devs“.
Appreciate this is anecdotal, but I have spoken to Rockstar staff and overheard conversations (here in Scotland where they have a large development studio) and it sounds like a an awful, miserable place to work. Bumped into a small group of employees in a bar a couple of years ago in Edinburgh and not one of them had anything good to say about working there: high stress, long hours, pay not worth it.
People: crunch and pay gaps are unacceptable. This company is awful!
The same people: *preordering GTA VI for 100 bucks*
If you are good, company will pay you, if there is someone better than you, they will pay them. I am sure there is genders in both sides of story. Company is just dumb if it doesn’t pay good employees.
So like every other company whose slop we are addicted to. But let’s boycott Raytheon guys.
Rockstar games are (with the exception of RDR2) grossly overrated imo. Maybe GTA VI will be different. But I expect the story to be serviceable and not much else, with all the focus going into online play.
Because like most major game dev studios these days, they only see dollar signs. And they will squeeze every last ounce of creative will and passion out of their dev team in order to further their goal of selling in game currency to kids with their parents credit cards. They don’t give a fuck. But hey, brain turn off shooty go bang bang explosion sandbox is fun, so it’ll sell like crazy
Always been a shitty work environment.
This is literally the same article every time a new GTA is about to release.
Nothing ever changes.
It’s fucking depressing.
