What I do NOT understand is whenever people resort to propaganda like this, to try sabotage public perception of an (actually evil) person or company. Yes we know Rockstar is a bunch of greedy bastards, but their games are “nothing groundbreaking”, really? GTA V and Red Dead are listed as two of the most successful games ever made behind only Minecraft.
This is like when an actor gets involved in some sex scandal and everyone suddenly thinks their work is mediocre. Can we really not separate an evil person or company from their work?
Yeah red dead was amazing. But they’re making a different game to that at the moment. GTA is usually (in comparison) a bit light on the stories/immersion in favour of goofy stuff and explosions.
Also i don’t know about specific evil stuff from rockstar. I just thought they were the usual kind of corpo jerks (union busting etc). Not sure where that particular protest you made is aimed.
Also “successful” is not really about the players. It’s great if you’re a shareholder though. They do love whoever invented the shark cards.

Successful and groundbreaking are not necessarily the same thing
I’m sorry. Propaganda?
