They never will give us a convincing reason for those firings; which is why we shouldn't buy Rockstar Games and support the devs if they set up Go Fund Mes!

Note to self: don’t buy GTA 6.

echodot,

Don’t worry you won’t be able to it’s never getting released.

Clent,

I made that note when gta 5 killed off the storyline expansions.

I was never interested in world of war craft with cars.

SCmSTR,

It would have been good if not for horrible load times, hostile balancing, and a live service slow grind model built to sell in game currency. The soullessness of it is why it was bad.

raicon,

I know a place where it will be free

PoliteDudeInTheMood,

But we still have to wait for a year after the console release. So they can make money off everyone who won’t get it for free

hancock,

Dont do it, if you play it youll talk about it, interact with things thatll make it popular. Ignore it completely

maybe they had mapped out and developed this storyline about a weirdly orange-coloured real-estate tycoon that lives in a Mediterranean style villa called “Lago-a-mar” but somehow they had to through all that out and start all over.

the unionbusting is just a coverup!

Oh, fucking fuck off with your “deeply concerning”, Starmer. Fucking useless politicians. Actually do something.

And they never will

Because GTAV made over $700 million last year on 12 year old ip. They are in absolutely zero rush to release a sequel that may or may not flop in an era when it’s clear that 90-100% of programming jobs will be eliminated within a decade.

Every programmer they replace with ai now is one less bonus to pay out after release.

echodot,

I’m guessing you haven’t actually seen the output from AI because you absolutely cannot replace humans with yet

BotsRuinedEverything,

So you think that 90-100% of programming jobs WON’T be replaced by AI within a decade? I realize there are limitations but I think exponential growth is difficult to see within the first three years. We are currently in year three.

echodot,

No I don’t. I’m sure C suite executive think that’s the case, but every time they’ve tried it they’ve always had to back pedal and hire the human staff back.

Stop, stop, I can’t breathe!

That’s exactly what we keep yelling at the companies that keep trying, but some of them don’t listen, fire their staff for AI, and then regret it a few months later.

Just because it is incredibly awful does not mean stupid fucks in charge of companies won’t do it.

echodot,

Yeah my company is going through this at the moment. I’m super duper hoping I get fired because I’ve worked for the company long enough that I’ll get an a bit over a year worth of severance. That’s just about long enough for them to realise that they actually need us and then they can rehire us back at a higher rate. As per established process.

It’s going to be excellent.

rmrf,

Do you write code?

Flamekebab,
@Flamekebab@piefed.social avatar

If so, is it any good?

I imagine if one writes janky spaghetti then it’s easy to think that LLMs will result in redundancy. My experience is that they’re like having an over-enthusiastic junior who doesn’t learn. Useful when one can’t be bothered to write something with very limited scope but is quickly out of their depth on anything involved.

Magnum,

Maybe 0 - 10%

And they don’t need to. Just like we don’t need to give them a reason why we’re not going to buy their shit any more.

Squizzy,

Cant imagine its the case that they dont need to, only some shit hole country would not have basic employee rights

ieGod,

You can’t exactly force a company to employ someone. Even in a pro-labor-rights country the employer would be free to terminate. The termination would come with all sorts of employee benefits of course.

6nk06,

Even in a pro-labor-rights country the employer would be free terminate

That’s false and you know it. Or it’s a lie for some reason.

ieGod,

Honestly curious why you believe otherwise. Termination without cause is absolutely allowed, and again, comes with legal provisions for the employee. In Ontario, Canada, for example, this manifests in severance pay.

I’m not super well versed in EU practices so perhaps it’s even more strict but fundamentally if a company cannot afford to retain an employee they must have the ability to let them go.

6nk06,

Forbidden in France and I guess most of Europe.

If a company cannot afford to retain employees, it’s a very long process with lawyers and you dont get to choose who leaves.

anomnom,

Germany is famous for employing people part time, and then the state compensates the employees when not working. This is done to keep people that the company otherwise couldn’t afford, employed.

Personally I was never interested in GTA 6 to begin with, but this cemented my decision not to buy it under any circumstances.

FatVegan,

I kinda was. But now it has been so long and the more that i think about it, the more i realise how much i hate what they did with gta5, or gtao to be specific. I hope to pirate it to fuck around a bit, i do not plan to give them any money
