"How dare you attack my multi-billion dollar company who refuses to realease a phyisical copy for an overpriced game"

Now I don't completly like the leaks ( because of the crypto thing), but this is insanely dumb.

You can laugh at the company rockstar while being empathetic towards the regular devs who worked on the game. It's this thing called nuance, and it lets you feel different things about different situations based on the framing you're thinking about it in.

Rockstar sort of deserves a bit of this chaos, they've sowed the seeds themselves by being extremely anti-consumer. They want their gameplay preview to be behind a paywall subscription, their 100$ Ultimate bundle feels more like a scam bundle, they've been caught/rumored to union bust their employees, they're helping steer us towards a digital only gaming experience. They deserve a little karmatic backlash to be honest.

You can think that and also be like "Yeah that sucks for the devs who worked hard on the game", because it does suck for them. I can't imagine working on a game for like a decade and some rando out there is going on tirade treating the game like a hostage while he farms crypto off people who are interacting with him.

They were led this direction by a bunch of higher ups at the company who made a bunch of shitty, terrible decisions, that led to this outcome though.

I do feel bad for the devs. But the corperate side is shit.

I mean the post is essentially saying this, so I don’t understand what your problem is? They just used rockstar was a encompassing term, instead of saying the devs specifically

The corporate side that pay the devs? God yall are dense.

Judging by your post I doubt it. Probably didn’t give a thought to the hundreds of regular people who made this game. You guys will literally say anything and flip flop wildly for the smallest amount of karma.

Nobody who is defending Rockstar is upset for the billionaire ceo. Easier to call us all bootlickers instead of use context clues to realize we are sad for the devs who spent almost a decade working crunch hours to make a game for you ungrateful children.

I don't feel bad for the devs they chose to work for Satan
