I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

AI investment and the desperate need to find *any* use for it has rotted so many damned brains in the government that they're not even trying to slap a sticking plaster on a bullet injury anymore, they're attempting to put a prawn sandwich on a decapitation wound and call it progress.

It’s been a wild first week back in London after my Asia trip! It’s not even 11am and I’ve already pet a dog, forgot to ask for no cream for my mint mocha, saw my coach to Oxford zoom past and abandoning us 😆. Back to the London chaos I see!

I was hyped to be part of the 2022 class but it quickly turned out to offer me v. little as a freelance composer who's been in the industry for a while. No way was I going to attend TGA out of pocket!

I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since
pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.
The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.
