Sadly, all the Learn Blender people were right. You couldn't pay me to go back to Maya or 3Ds Max. And I couldn't pay me either, because their license costs are insane

I LOVE those megamandrills. Such a subtle and appealing design decision to have the blue reach across the bridge of the nose and have the whole shape surrounded by a line of red—and then do the same for the ass.

with games as big as GTA many players (and even some devs tbh) forget that these games are made by humans and not just faceless corporations

Just to be 100% clear: do not *trust* your employers - that's super silly. The relationship is economical, not based in loyalty, trust, or kindness. There's no judgement in forming a union, just understanding that capitalism requires a risk of financial loss to get companies to do the right thing.
"Unionisation efforts just signal to employers you don’t trust them"
"Just profit share"
Have you been in the industry these past three years? Some ppl just wanna marry the boot

I genuinely believe, out of solidarity with these workers, no games media outlet should cover anything about Rockstar or GTA VI except for the aftermath of this union-busting bullshit. Fuck a review. Fuck talking about this game.
This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.
We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Please please if you havent yet, look into this. The claims of “gross misconduct” are completely bs. Rockstar just affected tons of people lives in a very dehumanizing way. Im so sorry for the people affected.
