Damn. I thought Rockstar was one of the better ones when it came to treating their workers right.

nah. they make good games and all, but they can't turn profits on a project without crushing workers.

like GTA 5 had workers sleeping under their desks or someshit like that, then in the game they make fun of unionizing workers (Impotent rage the liberal super hero)

What made you think that?

There've been signs of trouble since GTA5, and throughout the production of RDR2. All the usual crunch culture stuff like unpaid overtime, impossible deadlines, and delays that give the employees more time but which they aren't told about lest they relax and work slower.
