Don't buy the game then, vote with your wallet, mount a protest against R* if you really care so much about it. Have any R* employees even commented on this whole thing?

You have to go with what your heart tells you. I think those comments were extremely ill advised but I'd also like to think they were well meant, that everyone was extremely dedicated and that it's been a labour of love, that they've made the best game they can with no expense spared. Perhaps I'm just naive, but I also do genuinely hope that no one has suffered unnecessarily during its development, and that the pay off is worth it.

If it actually does all the stuff I've read about, and there's no reason to believe it won't, then it's 10's all round I reckon, best game since BOTW.

Damn that white X is sexy.

Do you know if this is getting a cart release?

Amazing, seriously I love that game.

Once the game is released to a fanfare of 10/10 reviews this news will be tomorrow's chip wrappers.

It will be interesting to see what happens and the different pricing structures, and also just what is available - will it be the entire Xbox library including enhanced BC stuff or just Game Pass, will it require as Gold sub for online play, etc.

To be fair Rockstar products aren't exactly lacking in excellence.

No, the problem lies with the people enforcing it. Edit. And the ever decreasing power of unions.

Ooh we've got a clever one here.

No, just the Prime Minister telling us there's no magic money tree. And no the likes of Primark don't boast about their use of child labour, and Costa doesn't advertise how it uses flexible working contracts to bully staff. Amazon don't boast about tax avoidance, etc, etc.

Well you're not going to are you, just like you're not going to stop shopping at Amazon, or buying Apple, Samsung, Sony etc.

And what about the conditions for everyone else, or is just Rockstar employees that count now?

Corporate slavery goes a lot further than Rockstar Games or the games industry as a whole - the entire retail sector, for example, the care sector, warehouse and factory workers. I mean, feel bad for Rockstar employees by all means but don't let it stop you buying the games.
