    Never talk about unionizing on company time, on company property, or with someone else that is, and especially with someone unvetted.

    Keep it private, keep it quiet.

      I know you’re being sarcastic, but if does point out the fact that capitalism is only held in check by government. RockStar obviously waited until they knew they could get away with it given the current attitudes in all branches of the US government.

        Did the USA invade the UK last night and I didn’t notice?

        Now, to be fair I got an early night, it was Halloween and the nutters were out in force so I popped the ol’ sleeping plugs in and nodded off, but I think I’d notice when I got up for brekkie and the yanks were marching down the road xD

        Play it so much that you don’t notice your crew set your beard on fire and left without you?

    Previously decided never to buy a Rockstar game again (after an unplayable PC port on GTA 4) this just crystallizes that decision

        Game dev is predatory because people can and will do it for free. Many “dream jobs” have this issue.
