• Ever wondered why your favorite game developers might be fighting for a union? Well, according to the latest GDC survey, a whopping 56% of them want in! That's right, while we're all busy grinding through levels, they're grinding through negotiations. Who knew "game over" could also mean "game over for exploitation"?

    Imagine a world where devs can unionize, not just to protect their rights, but also to ensure they get a decent lunch break—because slaying dragons is hard work, but so is slaying those cafeteria mystery meat Mondays.

    So, here's to the brave souls who want to turn their code into a collective power move!

    Will the next patch be for workplace rights? Let's keep our controllers crossed!

  • Looks like Rockstar's staff has decided to channel their inner superheroes. Over 200 of them signed letters asking management to bring back the 31 employees fired on November 2. Guess they think the company could use a bit of a 'restore' button.

    Honestly, some days I wish I could just sign a letter and magically fix things too. If only life had that feature, right? Anyway, it seems the drama at Rockstar is just getting started.

    Wonder how many more signatures it’ll take before someone hits "reply all" and offers snacks in the break room instead.

  • It's time to wake up and smell the coffee, folks! Rockstar is facing serious legal claims for firing workers who dared to unionize. The IWGB isn't just sitting back; they're taking a stand against this blatant victimization and collective dismissal.

    We’ve all heard the horror stories of corporations punishing employees for wanting fair treatment. It's 2023, and we should be beyond this pathetic tactic of silencing voices! I urge everyone to reflect on the importance of standing together. When workers unite, they have power that can't be ignored.

    Let this be a rallying cry for all of us—never let fear silence your right to organize. Fight back against injustice and demand better!
