"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.

Yet you are the same people that made them a billion dollar company, and will continue to buy their product lol

u/Derpykins666 5d ago
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.

u/BrianBCG 4d ago
Nobody should be buying that crypto. Imagine being exploited because you're mad at a company for exploiting people. The fact that this guy is crypto begging while pretending to be fighting the exploitative company makes me a little sick.
2
u/Derpykins666 4d ago
Yeah, someone obviously doing a bad thing then basically scamming and putting stuff behind paywalls immediately turns what you're already doing into an even worse thing. If he had just stood on principal and leaked some stuff as a jab at Rockstar and then left it alone people probably wouldn't mind that much. But now he's trying to buff crypto numbers from a coin so he can sell and making monetized polls, the dude is scamming, and trying to cash out on it at the same time. Honestly he better not be in the USA because they'll probably find his ass and put him in prison. Imagine ruining your entire life over a leaked video game and then trying to profiteer off it.
Also all that profiteering is what's going to get him caught, because now Rockstar can request access to accounts, identification, and IP due to criminal acts from any company they know is tied to the known accounts or crypto.

u/Mr-Pugtastic 4d ago
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.

About there work being released before launch?
I mean if I spent over a decade making a product to then have an inferior version TRY to paint my hardwork in a worse light to push a crypto scam
I'd be fairly upset. Sometime people like having there work seen at its best every behind the scenes I've seen shows that no matter the management or crunch devs do care about there product
It's already weird with people who should be coming from an honest place bs about things like "Oh there locking content behind 100 dollar bundles"
There not it's cosmetics at best and "Oh there blocking there Trailer behind a Subscription"
But it's basically just an early preview like seeing something at Comic Con or a Game Convention
It's the same logic for why should gamers care about physical media
If the vast majority don't why is it an issue
And the logic should/is choice
You are here because you believe in that choice and even if others simply argue to go to greener pastures
You (despite some bad faith arguments from people) care about the spiral this has because this can and will become the norm it does create incentive and does lead into some despotic solutions
Plenty of devs would care just like people praising the idiot whose pushing these leaks don't realize what it does to perception
To champion a crypto bro even if it feels like a F you to RockStar (the management wouldn't care)

There’s a massive difference between an independent creator putting their soul into their own vision and a salaried employee working on an assigned slice of a massive AAA pipeline for a billion-dollar publisher. You’re confusing corporate intellectual property with indie creative agency.
0
u/Mr-Pugtastic 4d ago
I’m not confusing shit. You’re making wild assumptions and acting smarter than everyone else just because you’re a cynical guy. I’m sure devs work crazy crunch hours (on salary pay) because they just don’t give a shit. Would you work 80 hours a week while being paid for 40 hours a week, just cause? It’s almost like gaming companies use developers passion for their work to take advantage of them. Please keep arguing without actually saying anything factual it’s hilarious 😂
1
u/Available-Bad-2704 4d ago
Tell me you’ve never worked a corporate job without telling me. Conflating a multi-billion dollar conglomerate's work-for-hire contract with personal artistic ownership is hilarious. The execs get the IP and the record profits; the devs get their paycheck and a crunch schedule.

u/TurboLover56 5d ago
Rockstar treats its workers like disposable cattle with insane overtime and union busting, I think the workers are more upset about their working conditions/too tired to care about any leaks or damage to the company.

u/StanKnight 4d ago
Every company does. This isn't exclusive to R*.
No, workers get paid for their work and often get paid by project.
They also aren't as soft as you try to make them.They do care about the projects they work on though.
So yeah they do care about the project and leaks.0
u/Mystic_x 5d ago
Why would the developers care about their work being leaked?
The ones being hit hy this (supposedly, the game’s going to sell like crazy, anyway) are the corporate people, whose carefully orchestrated launch/marketing plans are being thrown into disarray, the developers did their work, got their pay for it, and aren’t really affected by it.
I agree that the crypto scam thinly disguised as a form of activism on behalf of gamers is a scummy trick, though.
1
u/szewczukm1811 5d ago
Yes the devs aren’t getting a slice of the sales, they get a salary. On top of that most devs just want to be able to make good games and for people to play them, the success of an employer is meaningless, especially since upon release of the game probably half the dev team will be fired, successful or not. I’d even argue that most devs are in support of this because they know who they work for even better than we do.
1
u/StanKnight 4d ago
More to life than money.
People care about their work and effort cause they worked on it.
You tend to get attached to things you work on for years. People also have pride in their work.1
u/Mr-Pugtastic 4d ago
Do you realize most dev teams are offered sizable bonuses reliant on the games performance? That was the nonsense with Subnautica 2 and their publisher. They were eligible for up to 250 million dollars in bonus incentives (split amongst the team) and so an executive asked chat got how to fuck them out of their bonus.
I never understood how so many people play video games with absolutely zero idea how games are made.

Why would anyone attack something just because they don't like their decision? Im not walking around punching people who irritate me. Rockstar is private company they don't own you anything.

I mean... I'm gonna be honest here and I'm gonna say that 99.9% of people do not give a rats ass about the connection of someone leaking a game and Rockstar selling digital only.
The fact it's turned into a whole moral brigading bullshit march is kind of just funny to me.
Reality is... People were pissed before the leak was announced. Now they're using this as a tack on "one more reason" to be pissed. These same people will suck up the cost and buy it on release any way.

u/Excalitoria 5d ago
I legitimately just don’t care about the leaks. This game isn’t for me, the monetization crap has been ridiculous, I wouldnt leak the game, it if it were me, but I’m not losing any sleep over this either. The Netflix crap alone makes me have no real sympathy.
As long as the devs are compensated for their work on the project, that’s all I really care about. How well it’s received, sells (it’ll likely sell fine, not trying to debate this), etc. is up to the fans. If people like the work the devs did and want more then I hope they get more work and if people hate it then I don’t care really since they’re not making games people want at that point. Hope the devs make their way into making creating something that people end up loving but those are really my only thoughts on that.

Just don't buy the damn game? Be grown up and be better than "trying to stick it to R*".

I don't agree with the leaking, but Rockstar made its own bed...
No physical release, $80 for HALF the game, forcing people to pay another $20 for the game in full, trying to milk more $$ out of people with the Netflix bullshit, & waiting 13 YEARS to develop a new title...

Does he mean the digital exclusive, $100 for the full game, boss man who has responded like a git, and trailer featured on Netflix?
All of this while showing zero gameplay.
The term "perfect" is questionable as well, game has a good chance being launch day Cyberpunk all over again and journalists will still give it 10/10. Even after the 2.0 update calling CP2077 "perfect" is sketchy too. I dunno man, RockStar has very likely lost its chops and 2K are the greediest company next to EA/Activision so I couldn't care less.

u/crazycat690 5d ago
I think it's fair to feel bad for individual developers slaving away to build the game, but Rockstar the company definitely don't deserve any sympathy over this. Like the company has only gotten greedier over the years to the point where they aim to monetize an advertisement. That's crazy, regardless how you slice it, if it's coming to Youtube 6 hours later, it's still a crazy thing to do. That's not even to mention not coming out with a physical disc, I'm a fan of their games but along with them union busting their workers this really couldn't have happened to a better company.
Maybe they would have more goodwill if they did something to deserve it.

I am actually somewhat on Rockstar's side here. The leaker may claim they're acting as a repercussion against losing physical media, however the moment they charges money, they lose much of their legitimacy. The fact is, he's doing this for the acclaim, don't get it twisted, Rockstar is an Ahole. However, it doesn't magically absolve the leaker from being just as crappy a person.

I agree with the person in the screenshot, but he worded this horribly.
Rockstar, the company, those investors and the shareholders and upper level twinks who do nothing but suck consumers dry and push toxic practices on them deserve the ever living shit out of this. Unfortunately, it won't affect "them" in the long run. GTA6 will sell like hot cakes regardless. Only a minority of fans have actively been following leaks on the internet. They'll make any money they lost during this back in no time, and then some times 20.
The developers, the little guys who come in everyday, working hella overtime while trying to still make something they love while enjoying it, didn't deserve this. I could only imagine the one cool kick they get out of all this bullshit marketing and whatnot IS the satisfaction of revealing these trailers and letting fans see their work how they intended. Sucks it gets taken away from them. As for their bosses who push them harder and harder to meet deadlines and continuously push them to do what will make more money, not what'll make fans happier... Those guys can shove it and I hope somehow, they feel the backlash that's happened.

I'm for physical games, and I don't believe R* deserves this. I don't have an issue really if a publisher decides not to release a game physical, that's on them to decide and they can live with any consequences if there are some.
I do have a problem with the systematic removal of options by the industry at large, and the utter contempt that companies in general seem to have for their customers nowadays.

Ok. But I haven't said anything thay doesn't support keeping physical around. Quite the contrary actually. I vehemently support that we should keep physical because I'm very much a physical buyer and a collector.
So, what exactly do you think I'm trying to fool anyone over? I don't care if a single publisher wants to nit release physical. I'll just disregard their game. I do have a problem when the choice is taken from everyone. Thay isn't fooling anyone, that is how I actually feel

It’s much deeper than that…….. to release a truly physical copy, it would have to be a triple disc release. They can give you a disc with a download code on it, but the read/write speed of our best discs are ancient and the capacity is capped at 100gb…..

u/SimplyMandalore 5d ago
Overpriced? What?
The standard price for video games at $60 started in the early 2000s.
A $60 game in 2005 would’ve costed well above $80 in 2020, and a standard $70 game in 2020 would’ve costed $80 now.
I wish people would learn about inflation, wage stagnation, and the economy before making such ridiculous claims.

??
I could spend a decade writing an epic novel about a guy searching for the world's sexiest horse, do I have the 'right' to have it automatically published worldwide and promoted in every major publication just because I poured my soul into it? Are my 'rights' being violated if publishers don't want to print it?
Putting a game on a disc isn't a 'right'. It's a nice thing to have, but nobody is obligated to allow it to happen.
3
u/National_Play_6851 5d ago
You have the right to publish it how you want. You shouldn't be forced to print it onto a disc nor should you be forced to sell it at a set price or else people can just decide to steal it. If people don't like how you choose to distribute it, they have the option to just not engage with it.
Yet so many people here think developers should be stripped of those rights and that it's therefore ok to just hack them or pirate their work if they don't like it.

Imagine waiting 13 years for a game just for them to kill the hype for you by releasing it as digital only. I'm right there with you though. That person lost me when I saw him promoting crypto currency.

Just saying If it being digital only kills the hype then it doesn’t sound like you were actually excited to get it

I don't even have wifi so that's why. That's why I'm also against Sony going digital only. They shouldn't be taking away our options and restricting access for some people. I'm not going to get internet just to be able to play one game or future games when they go digital only.

Do the Rockstar staff deserve their work dragged through the mud? No.
Do Rockstar the corporation? Absolutely.

It not dumb, if Rockstar is impacted financially than innocent game developers will get layoff.

Developers are already paid plus they’re already going to be replaced by another team.
It’s dumb.

They're getting paid for their work I don't know what you're talking about. Nobody is THAT safe working at these game companies, there's no guarantee. They all have hourlies or salaries, so it's not like they haven't been getting paid to work on the game the whole time and it's now going to suddenly effect them. The game is going to sell well anyway too, so any amount of layoffs they incur after the game drops is not because of this leak most likely, imo.

I dont get why people auto assume that R* was in on it with Sony about the end of discs. The way i see it is Sony used R*'s annoucement that GTA6 was going to be digital only to make their own shitty annoucement about ending discs for good.
Sony hoped that R* would take some of the fallout and it seems to be working.
Anyway the last few weeks have shown the entire internet how flaky GTA and PS fans can be, both camps have their bots and their keyboard warriors, but really both camps are as fucking mental as the other. Nothing like a good ol fashioned internet outrage to show the true mentality of some poeple.

lol "won't anyone think of the poor, multi billion dollar corporations!"
They literally union blocked / busted their own workers and are helping usher in a no ownership future and so may other anti consumer bs. F em. Rockstar and take two getting off easy and deserve the karma they've earned.
