    Yes! Make a union, start a unionized game studio, and make better games. The talent is all there.

      Syndicate*

      Unions still <img src=“https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/48cb344c-347d-43d0-a9da-630918a6f0da.png” alt=“🥾👅” width=“32” height=“auto”> capitalists. In this case, TTWO. You want talent to own their means, and earn their yields. So syndicate.

        Thank you :) I’ve only been aware of the term “crime syndicate” but never looks up the single term syndicate. You learn something new everyday!

          aware of the term “crime syndicate”

          This was intentional, because your state doesn’t want you syndicalizing. If they associate cooperation with “crime,” you won’t ever unionize yourselves. If everyone syndicates, the state wouldn’t have the power monopolize who gets to business and who has the privilege to operate. Some intentions of laws are good, but monopoly on who gets to decide who and how things operate is how we get this cronyism.

    No, I think I’m definitely going to boycott this incredibly scummy game. I wish them luck in their legal battle though.

    They also appear to have a fundraiser for the same thing here if you want to donate but don’t need a shirt

    https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/support-rockstar-workers-fighting-unfair-dismissals

    Or if you want to donate to the Union directly you can do so here

    https://iwgb.org.uk/en/page/solidarity-squad/

    I’m in no way associated with them, I spent all of 10 seconds searching for those links, there is some indication the two links might ultimately go to the same place, but either way I thought I’d drop them in the comments if there was anyone else like me that would want to throw them some money but didn’t need another “thing” in return.

    I will buy GTA 6 in a decade, once it’s fixed and on sale.
