Everyone who protects Rockstar:
Rockstar developers often receive below-market base salaries compared to standard tech roles.
Union members at Rockstar Game Workers Union (RGWU) describe these bonuses as "nebulous" and subjective. Because managers hold total control over bonus payouts without needing justification, workers feel pressure to remain compliant, accept extra hours, and avoid pushing back on management.
Rockstar developers revealed that mandatory overwork is so structural that default UK employment contracts include an automatic "opt-out" from European Working Time Regulations. This legal clause removes the standard cap that prevents employers from forcing staff to work over 48 hours a week. The union had to launch an internal campaign just to inform staff that they had the legal right to opt back in.
AND Y'ALL STILL DEFEND THEM?
Today Rockstar has proved us
That we, the gamers, the community
Don't matter.
Instead of addressing our issues
Instead of apologizing
They chose to make themselves the victims
They chose to ignore us.
We will not let them fxck us
We will fight till the end..
Goodnight.
