I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

why is it if a game studio is not making 200% revenue YoY then the axe gets brought out? I understand it’s a business but maybe chill for a minute, not everything needs or can have sustainable explosive growth every quarter

Reminder that a game can still be challenging, rewarding, AND accessible. Accessibility never has and never will compromise gameplay, so long as you do it right.
Making a game accessible AND fun is the difference between any designer vs. a great designer.

Another must-see from PMG
Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia.
Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)
