I just wish someone would for once think about the poor executive class, the most maligned and mistreated part of humanity that has ever existed. People have no understanding of the mistreatment Mostly White Male Executives suffers every single day. And not to mention the shareholders! I just wish someone sensible would take the power from every working stiff and solve the problem of working men refusing to work once and for all. The Final Solution, if you will. They refuse to contribute to the glorious future Endless Growth promises, and they are dragging us all down with them. Every single person with a day job is inherently selfish and should just commit themselves to further the goals of their betters, those of the endlessly maligned and misunderstood Executive Class. Endless Growth benefits us all, just as how elephant shit benefits dung beetles. If you're born a dung beetle, you can't be anything else. It's genetics.

You're wasting your talents here. You know how much income you could make as a podcast bro?!

When the first union was successfully busted, that gave some credence to the gross misconduct claims.
The fact that people managed to form a second union and get some court dates without getting sacked means those claims may have been exaggerated.

I mean, obviously Rock Star does crunch, it's common in the industry. Surprised they didn't just give them some loose change as hush money. Should be rolling in it with GTA Online.

Doubt it. @Frick strikes me as a guy that doesn't even sun their pereneum, what a loser.

We also keep forgetting how much the CEOs fear being replaced by SMLMs (small/medium language models) in the next 6 - 18 months. Read what (and how) they talk about in their public statements, press releases, earnings calls, public appearances... The vocabulary, the complexity of language... It's very clear they are the low-hanging fruits.

Laying off general workers so ALL executives can get bigger bonuses is not normal at all. /s

FrickMostly White Male Executives

Yeah, just look at the CEOs of Microsoft, Google, IBM, Adobe, Micron, VMWare, Palo Alto Networks, Chanel, Starbucks, etc...

Cpt.Jankand an end to crunch.

Yes pls! No one should be faced with pressure mounted excessive work hours which is nothing short of slow acting poison. Its this sort of mentally and physically exhaustive burnout and on top being underpaid which takes the absolute piss. If deadlines can't move put the tax on the fat cats on top for poor planning... get em all: executives, publishers, parent companies... no jail free card for pressure mounting investors and shareholders too.

A line must be drawn across the industry, and all industries.

I mean really, we’re going to have an ethics chat regarding a studio that makes bank on glorifying criminal activity?

The thing with greed is it doesn't encourage sharing. People forget there have been literal battles (Bull Hill for example) over workers just getting paid.

Can I make enough for a super sized whopper meal. I'm trying to impress a girl.

Since my stock portfolio is 90% AI crap, I feel attacked.

FrickMostly White Male Executives

Why even say that? Is there some problem with that? White man bad? and why is it capitalized like a proper noun or institution?

ymdhisYeah, just look at the CEOs of Microsoft, Google, IBM, Adobe, Micron, VMWare, Palo Alto Networks, Chanel, Starbucks, etc...

Its just their brainwashing being projected.

By the time GTA6 is out, this court case will be settled.

They took rockstar to court for firing people... Imagine the world we live in that you can't stop working with someone without getting sued. Insanity.

UpgrayeddWhy even say that? Is there some problem with that? White man bad? and why is it capitalized like a proper noun or institution?

I always find it funny when people speak about minorities. About a fifth of Earth's total population is chinese, another fifth is indian and anothe fifth is of african descent. White people as they are share the remaining two fifths with the latinos, japanese, SEA-ns, the middle-easterns and all others...

Because he's an agitator.

Let3rBy the time GTA6 is out, this court case will be settled.

Unlikely with the backlog in the UK Justice System. Doubt it will even be settled by the time the PC version is launched (whenever that is)

JustBenchingThey took rockstar to court for firing people... Imagine the world we live in that you can't stop working with someone without getting sued. Insanity.

In the UK (where Rockstar North is based) we still have employment laws that give workers some limited protection from being fired at will. Still doesn't stop companies behaving (allegedly) unlawfully, hence the court case.

If Rockstar followed the employment law, then it has nothing to worry about.

Insanity is wanting to live in a world where corporations have even more power over ordinary people than they already do today.

Dr. Dro"Claude, build me a rudimentary GTA clone in Rust"

That would never work. You forgot to say "Make no mistakes"

bohrzThat would never work. You forgot to say "Make no mistakes"

There's at least an unfixable mistake there, the prompt asks for it to be coded in Rust :roll:

Darmok N JaladI mean really, we’re going to have an ethics chat regarding a studio that makes bank on glorifying criminal activity?

A company making fictional games about crime doesn't give it a free license to mistreat real people. Thats like saying a companys social responsibility is defined by the stories it tells rather than how it treats the people who keep the lights on.
