Grandpa and brainwashed cop can't separate fantasy from reality. More news at eleven.

It's the most passive marketing I've seen in years, for such a big cultural event, and deny it because "it has guns".
Boomer mentality.

Rockstar North Faces Union-Busting Allegations as 200+ Staff Condemn Firing of 31 Employees
One of Scotland’s largest games studios, Rockstar, is at the centre of a major industrial dispute, with the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB) accusing the company of “union-busting” and initiating legal action following the abrupt dismissal of 31 employees.
The move has been met with widespread condemnation from staff. In a letter to senior management, more than 200 Rockstar North employees condemned the sackings and demanded the immediate reinstatement of their colleagues, all of whom in the UK were members of the IWGB.
The dispute stems from the abrupt dismissal of dozens of staff earlier this month. Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, initially cited “gross misconduct” before later alleging the fired employees had leaked sensitive company information.
Take-Two’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick, told IGN that the company was ‘proud of its culture,’ and the company stated the sackings were ‘in no way related to people’s right to join a union.’
This claim has been firmly rejected by staff and the IWGB. Union reps allege the workers were “fired illegally for unionising” via a private, legally-protected trade union Discord channel. The IWGB has filed a legal claim against Rockstar for what it calls a clear case of “victimisation and collective dismissal.”
“We are confident that what we’ve seen here is plain and simple union busting, and we will mount a full legal defence,” said Alex Marshall, IWGB president. “Employers like Rockstar would do well to understand that private spaces such as trade union Discord servers have protections, and that their company’s contractual clauses do not supersede UK law.”
The Rockstar layoffs have already sparked protests outside Rockstar’s Edinburgh HQ. According to reports from RockPaperShotgun, union activity had intensified following the developer’s return-to-office mandate last year, with staff alleging the firings occurred shortly after the union hit the legal minimum for formal recognition.
The story has also escalated to a political level. Speaking in the Commons, Edinburgh West MP Christine Jardine confirmed that several of her constituents were directly affected and that she had written to Rockstar for more information, with the government promising to take the matter forward to ministers. In addition, Annie Wells MSP contacted the Scottish Games Network directly, to ask for the issue to be added to the agenda for the planned Games CPG.
The IWGB has pledged to “pursue all avenues” to see its members reinstated and has vowed to hold further demonstrations.
Protest and Support Fund
Despite the postponement of today’s scheduled Cross-Party Group meeting on the games ecosystem, the IWGB has confirmed that a planned demonstration will go ahead this evening.
Protesters and supporters are set to gather outside Rockstar North’s headquarters on Holyrood Road at 5:00 PM today (Tuesday, November 18th). The group will then march from the studio to the Scottish Parliament to highlight their case.
In parallel with the legal and direct action, a crowdfunding campaign has been launched to support the workers affected by the Rockstar layoffs. The fund aims to provide immediate financial relief to those who have suddenly lost their income.

«Believe me, everyone will be pissed off to buy a $1,000 #XboxAllyX that cannot play #GTAVI»
Or, in other words, why you would spend $600 on an #XboxAlly when you can get a #SteamDeck at $400 (or less second hand) that also can't play GTAVI.

Speaking about Hell on Wheels, my heart tells me to play Red Dead Online, while my brain tells me that it's Rockstar Online, so...Ew.
Why does Rockstar make great games and then ruin them with the online stuff?

[05:45] Hoe de iconische gameontwikkelaar Blizzard zijn smetteloze reputatie kwijtraakte
In een markt waar zoveel geld in omgaat als de game-industrie – bijna 200 miljard dollar omzet in 2023 – is het uitzonderlijk dat een ontwikkelaar veel autonomie krijgt van zijn distributeur. Slechts een handvol gerenommeerde studio’s, zoals Rockstar (Grand Theft Auto) en het zelfstandige Valve (Counter-Strike), kunnen het zich veroorloven om zelf te bepalen of ze de verkoopdatum van een spel vertragen of een project helemaal annuleren.
Ook Blizzard Entertainment hoorde lange tijd bij dat illustere gezelschap. De maker van belachelijk populaire games als World of Warcraft en Hearthstone hanteerde graag het mantra ‘het is af als het af is’. Gamers vonden het prima als een nieuw deel in een serie zes (Overwatch 2), elf (Diablo IV) of zelfs twaalf jaar (StarCraft II) later verscheen, want ze konden er blind op vertrouwen dat Blizzard kwaliteit boven kwantiteit stelde.
2008 was een keerpunt in Blizzards bestaan, tekent de Amerikaanse journalist Jason Schreier op in zijn uitvoerige boek Play Nice, over het miljardenbedrijf dat in 1991 met drie man begon als Silicon & Synapse op de campus van de Universiteit van Californië in Irvine. Na eerst onderdeel te zijn geweest van een firma voor onderwijssoftware en een Frans mediaconglomeraat, werd Blizzard in het jaar van de financiële crisis opgeslokt door uitgever Activision.
Onder bewind van de gewiekste bestuurder Bobby Kotick werd de studentikoze aanklootcultuur tot ongenoegen van veel werknemers omgeturnd in een hiërarchische melkkoe die bij voorkeur jaarlijks een nieuwe uitbreiding voor WoW moest uitpoepen. Ooit geliefde merken als Guitar Hero en Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater waren eerder al geofferd voor Koticks zucht naar eindeloze groei.
Schreier beschrijft op basis van ruim 350 interviews hoe het personeel zich opwond over ongelijke bonussen, het harteloze interne beoordelingssysteem en de commercie die steeds meer terrein won ten koste van de creativiteit. Prominente producenten namen in de jaren tien ontslag, matige remakes en exorbitante microtransacties besmeurden de torenhoge reputatie, en gekneveld door Activision ging de pc-versie van de afgelikte boterham Call of Duty op de servers van Blizzard draaien. Nog het meest vernederend: Blizzards ambitieuze entree in een genre dat nota bene uit een van zijn eigen games was ontstaan, werd een flop.
Het is verdrietig dat Blizzard niet langer de legendarische developer van weleer is. Met negens strooiende recensenten zijn geen garantie meer; meerdere gevallen van #MeToo-achtige praktijken kwamen naar buiten; en ook met Microsoft als nieuwe eigenaar vlogen honderden medewerkers de laan uit. Je gunt dit culturele imperium een StarCraft IV dat zo onwijs goed in elkaar zal steken dat het alle problemen uit het turbulente verleden doet vergeten. Alleen als het af is, natuurlijk.
