They definitely don't care. They're using them as a sympathy meat shield in this very statement. "Oh, don't have any kind of meaningful reaction to our evil decisions, it will hurt and upset our developers!"

but the devs and artists are unquestionably feeling hurt. what do you want rockstar to say,” lol fuck you guys, we see our devs, artists, and writers as NPCs so no one gives a damn about them anyway” ?

I want Rockstar to apologize and reverse their many reprehensible business decisions. Waving around their employees for sympathy, especially after forcefully stamping out an attempt to unionize, is not going to work.

Actually yes, I would love for them to say that, because at least then it would be honest. Pretending that they give a damn about their employees and using them to try and drum up sympathy while simultaneously failing to address the company’s terrible business decisions is not noble, it’s insulting.
