Had to start my December gothic reading challenge with what is known as the first English gothic novel: The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole. It was surprisingly entertaining and I found it quite funny at times, though I did feel sorry for the princesses.

Thank you.

Rockstar now claims it was, in fact, the leaking of “specific game features from upcoming and unannounced titles” that led to the firings.
We’re going to have to see the company prove this in an employment tribunal & more than that, it’ll need to prove it for all 31 fired employees in the UK too.

Rockstar has claimed the employees it recently fired were dismissed because they leaked game features for upcoming and unannounced titles in Discord, not because they were trying to unionize. https://bit.ly/48A0tTf
