Because they cost money.

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!

Cunt company with cunty business practices

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

BotsRuinedEverything, do games w Rockstar still hasn't offered a convincing reason for firing over 30 GTA 6 developers

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!

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

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.

rmrf,

Yeah. AI 100% makes me more productive and by a good bit. I used it to write a section of code today to export all the information my program gathers about a system to a json file. Woulda taken me 20 minutes but chatgpt did it in seconds.

It also, in the same snippet, introduced a breaking change I didn’t ask for in the original code. I only copied the json part; I just happened to notice the change in the code it wrong. It added a fork bomb lol

Flamekebab,
@Flamekebab@piefed.social avatar

That’s the thing though - I find that what it saves me in time writing it costs me in reviewing. I hate reviewing.

rmrf,

I’ve cut down on that by only giving it tasks that are reviewed automatically.

“Spit this into a json”

It gives me the code, I continue with my program knowing exactly what is where in the json and if I get a parsing error or something I know exactly where to look. TBH, though, for things like that I must have an error rate lower than 5%

Ask it to configure a reverse proxy for a cors sensitive application, though, and I think I’d rather die

Magnum,

Maybe 0 - 10%

Rhoeri, do games w Rockstar still hasn't offered a convincing reason for firing over 30 GTA 6 developers

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.

Squizzy,

This is uninformed bullshit. You are wrong and talking with authority on something you clearly know nothing about, I can only assume you live somewhere without employee protections and rights.

@DupaCycki@lemmy.world avatar

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

massive_bereavement, do gaming w The sound of this one specific bird from Age of Empires keeps haunting me through pop songs, movies, and across other games

Even without opening I can tell it's the common loon, because that haunted me for years, and when I heard it as an adult, twenty years later I was like "Rogan?"

A good mealtime video about why it is so prevalent:

Evil_Shrubbery, do gaming w The sound of this one specific bird from Age of Empires keeps haunting me through pop songs, movies, and across other games

Doom used a lot of free licence sounds (eg for doors opening, fire igniting) that I hear from time to time from other random sources too (eg in a movie).

It’s the same sound, but the nostalgia kick is powerful (but I do replay all Dooms evey few years tho … since they came out).

ramble81, do games w Rockstar baulks as a Charlie Kirk assassination mission is created in GTA Online, bans it and censors his name, but there's more out there

Didn’t they literally make a game about bullying, also is there a game (by another studio) about “going postal”.

I even saw a game trying to recreate the JFK headshot, but this is something they frown upon?

newthrowaway20,

It’s about timing. If someone did this before he died, you wouldn’t even hear about it in the news.

Widdershins,
@Widdershins@lemmy.world avatar

JFK Reloaded was made to dispel conspiracy theories by simulating the assassination and grading each shot on how close it was to real life. The ballistics were advanced. It turns out it is a lot more fun to play when you shoot the drivers first, stopping the motorcade, and start shooting the sunglasses off the cops and the guns out of their hands. It’s no Sniper Elite but you can really pump JFK’s guts full of lead.

jjjalljs,

Capitalism. The rich owner types don’t like this sort of thing, and they have a lot of power. They don’t really have coherent values except “in-group to protect, out-group to bind” and “no one tells me what to do. i tell you what to do.”

_stranger_,

I didn’t realize Bully came out ~20 years ago. Fuck. I can believe I’m saying this but, it really was a different time.

Katana314,

I avoided that game based on the name, but from what I gather, it was misleading; pretty much every sect of that school is full of jerks (sadly including the nerds, who often cater to their own victim complex), and your character is just facing the larger of them.

unexposedhazard, do games w Rockstar baulks as a Charlie Kirk assassination mission is created in GTA Online, bans it and censors his name, but there's more out there

The mission can be seen in full here, though obviously you should consider carefully before clicking.

Or what? I might see pixels from a video game.

xcancel.com/GTASixInfo/…/2010798891269243103

Except for the mission name and general concept of “roof, gun, tent, crowd” its quite the shit recreation honestly.
