Rockstar NY Proves to be "Eye of Sauron"

[Chipperz]

You have my sword.

And you have my bow. <color=white> Sorry, I remembered afterwards I forgot a step.

And my axe!

And my 9 Iron!

And my tickly fairy-wand thing!

OT - Yeah, this IS pretty shitty of them. It smacks of the whole "You got an issue? Here's a tissue" bullshit that morons come out with.

Yea but it's called work for a reason no? No matter how academically prepared one may be work means they are gonna exploit your ass and get as much productivity out of you as they can. And being more academically prepared than others should tell you that the job you are doing will require a certain amount of sacrifice on your part.

There is a very big difference between working and being treated like a slave. The reason its called work and not slavery is because there are laws pertaining to how hard you can push your employees. I really can't tell if you are just being a troll or whether your comments or just willful ignorance, but look up some labor law plzkthxbye.

About what could be expected from the douchebags of the game industry. Try channeling that creative energy into making a game not involving hookers and bling.

Root of all evil eh?

I'm sure our very own Root will be displeased to hear this.

I wasz thinking the same thing when I read the Article summary. Root has Competition.

OT: Companies can be really thick somtimes but what you gonna do?

The recently criticized Rockstar NY office has released a few wallpapers that prove it is the root of all evil.

Root of all evil eh?

I'm sure our very own Root will be displeased to hear this.

I wasz thinking the same thing when I read the Article summary. Root has Competition.

They're semi-evil, quasi-evil. The margarine of evil. They're the Diet Coke of evil. Just one calorie, not evil enough.

And You have my Chainsaw! he he he

 

[DigitalSushi]

So this is a publicity stunt then?

No ones talking about Red Dead Redemption so lets cook up some controversy.

You have my sword.

And you have my bow. <color=white> Sorry, I remembered afterwards I forgot a step.

And my axe!

You guys rock.

 

[DigitalSushi]

And my 9 Iron!

I hear Rockstar are calling their next car jacking prostitute simulation game "GTA Tiger Woods".

Should we be gathering a fellowship to take Rockstar NY down?

Yes we should. The Fellowship Of The GAMEPAD!

Making fun of the situation in which they are likely to be the "bad guys" does not strike me as a smart move.

I warned Frodo not to put his finger in the dark lords ring, nothing good can come of it.

 

[DigitalSushi]

Thought a potential PR disaster, this is a very good way of saying they think those allegations are bullshit.

Which is why I'm thinking this is just a PR stunt, this is RockStar after all.

 

[Jared]

I guess I'll join the fellowship if need be.

I'll bring the food.

I'll bring the firearms!(which they practically give out in the south like candy in a vending machine *SATIRICAL JOKE*).

And I shall bring the Whoop! =P

But seriously, somneone has a pretty twisted sense of humour lol

 

[Sevre]

Yay, lets make fun our employees potentially losing their jobs!

That'll endear people to us!

There we go!

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Wow, they ARE UBER evil!

Nothing like some fake self mockery to pretend you are not the sum of all evil, right?

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

It's always a good idea to make fun of people trying to have their concerns taken seriously.

Except, you know, not.

 

[Dommyboy]

You have my sword.

Considering the criticism, its seems a bit out of order to take the piss out of the employees by allowing these images, humorous or otherwise. How would you feel if a complaint you'd made at work was suddenly the basis of a joke to be shared?
I can see R* going the way of Activision and becoming vilified and hated. The Housers need to play this very carefully if they are to retain the goodwill of the fanbase they've built over the years.

It's one thing to take the piss out of the media by allowing graphic sex and full frontal male nudity in your games after the Hot Coffee issue, (and more power to them, for taking that stance), but to take the piss out those who work hard to make the games reeks of arrogance.

All i know is that Rockstar has not made a game i enjoy yet. Hopefully they will fix it with RRD but that won't happen if they piss off employes.
WHatever is happening must stop, LotR style!
