Rockstar Games
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Like I'm sure Rockstar has unlimited amounts of data they've used to develop GTA 6
Cons
- Other DRMs that try to insert themselves between Steam and the Game (Rockstar, Epic, Ubisoft) do nothing but piss me off and make me groan when I boot up these games
- They said Rockstar had become “a giant international corporation, a machine that creates billions in value for its overseas shareholders in an industry rife with work exploitation, unfair practice, and unreasonable working conditions.”
- They're being managed by a corpo who does not care about gaming, games, or video games. Maximize profit, always beat the last quarter revenue. Nothing else matters.
- Considering how much money Rockstar makes this strategy is pretty reprehensible. They could double the staffs pay and still make gobs of money. Pure greed
- Shoutout to Rockstar for saving me money by ensuring I'll never spend a dollar on their products again.

Rockstar is pathetic.
Rockstar getting exposed as the robber barons in their own video games before we get GTAVI is wild
The worst part about this is that Rockstar is one of the most successful video game developers of all time, and are about to launch the biggest video game of all time next year...
My friends that got into game dev all talk about how shit it is to work there, and I've been hearing that for more than a decade now.
Rockstar has such a bad reputation within game developer circles, I am surprised to not hear more about it.
