      It’s a matter for the courts, not the government of the day - I would think employment law on unlawful dismissal is pretty clear cut.

        I was having a dig. Nothing more. Although I still expect nothing be done.

      Labour is dead. The UK left should get behind Zack Polanski’s green party. They’re surging in the polls and have taken over both Labour and the Tories in some.

        I hope they get somewhere. The sister party is the one I’d vote with but they tend not to stand where I live

    GTA 6 was something I was already planning to avoid. I’m sure it will be a technological achievement, but the fact that this game took close to a decade and a half to come out, I moved on from the idea of a new GTA game long ago.

    Rockstar was happy to milk GTA 5 for that whole time rather than making new games the fans wanted. Sure RDR2 was released, but were fans really only wanting one game in a decade plus? Of course not. Why make a new game when you can make money from micro transactions in your current one. Basically acting like GTA landlords and expecting continued money while offering no real value to an old game. They even put a casino in GTA online, in case you needed a clearer idea of what their priorities are now.

    GTA 6 will probably have a great story mode, but the GTA online garbage is coming too, guaranteed. It would not surprise me if the online components even find a way into the single player story. Not to mention the size this game will be on your system. I bet 200 gb - 300 gb and the probably higher price tag.

    Now Rockstar is union busting. This is on top of all the toxic work environment flak they got for over working their employees in the RDR2 development.

    Fuck you Rockstar, I don’t need a new game from you.

      I’m betting that one’s gonna be a poor story mode.

      This is the first gta after gtao became the cash cow. All bets are they’re going to lean into online with single player being an afterthought.

    It just so happened that every member of the unionization chat (across multiple locations?) was engaged in gross misconduct.

      They could record their own farts and Gamers will gladly eat it up. GTA 6 is too big to fail.

        Like Borderlands 4 was too big to fail, only to become laughing stock that only sold…

        Hold on, how the fuck did Borderlands 4 sell more than 2.5 million copies?! OK, I take your point.

          IIRC borderlands 3 was kind of a flop, and i didn’t even know borderlands 4 was a thing till like, a week before release date

            Borderlands 3: The initial sales of the game were the highest of the Borderlands series: more than five million copies were sold in five days, and to date more than 22 million copies sold

            Hardly a flop, numbers wise, and bl4 isnt trailing so far behind that

            Gamers don’t care, and I hate it
