What's wrong with Rockstar? Some of their handling of GTA Online is unfavorable (GTA+, porting features to console but not PC), but I don't recall them being bought out or selling out.
- kevingadd 3y agoThey have a very bad reputation as an employer, though their track record with their games is quite good.
- klausa 3y agoThat reputation is not new though. The "Wives of Rockstar" letter came out _13 years ago_; and from I understand, this was not a surprise within gamedev circles. Labor situation being part of broader gaming coverage is a relatively newer phenomenon, but the miserable environments are not.
- lowbloodsugar 3y agoThey are owned by T2.
- tomnipotent 3y agoIt was founded as a subsidiary, and every game released has been under T2 ownership.

- boomboomsubban 3y agoLemmings seems like a perfect "free to play" mobile game, so perfect they almost deserve credit for not making it.

- jeffreyames 3y agoThey continue to set an incredibly high bar from story to engineering with every major release. It’s full of talent pushing the state of the art. Dead, utterly disgraced doesn’t describe the company. Stories about employees feeling exploited is more of a successful, topical company thing than a Rockstar thing.
- philwelch 3y agoLong delay between releases and the departure of Dan Houser are both concerning developments.
