Rockstar NY Proves to be "Eye of Sauron"
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
Sauron would never have backed down to the censors and done more to fight back initially over things like "Hot Coffee" or "Manhunt 2". Sorry they just aren't that cool. More like some scared, shut in peering through a peephole with one hand on a phone with a police/911 speed dial just in case something startles them.
Okay, okay, not a great answer since this is about internal policy. How about a fat lardo that installs a security camera to make sure nobody steals his cookies?
Or maybe Michael Jackson who installed security cameras outside his bedroom to help prevent him from being surprised during his "perfectly innocent" sleepover parties with young boys.
The bottom line is that while I'm happy they released an uncut version of Manhunt 2 for download, it took bloody long enough (and the game is now pretty dated). Rockstar has an uphill battle to earn much respect from me... and honestly I'm less than receptive to their attempts to downplay internal strife (if there is any) and/or make it seem awesome.
I sort of hope there is an employee uprising, ending with the severed heads of the upper management being thrown to the masses. The new Rockstar Warlords could then proceed to go toe to toe with the censors and release the kind of extreme, totally irreverant content, I feel they lost the guts to truely make.

Taking an optimistic view of the situation, I hope the fact that Rockstar is seemingly making fun of the situation with wallpapers means that the issue isn't as severe as it sounds. Rockstar can't be that cruel, can they? Or else they couldn't make such great games.
These wallpapers are just Rockstar's sort of humor though. At least I think it's funny.
And if any of you try to "take Rockstar NY down", as you seem to be talking about, you'll find me standing in front of their offices and the only way you'll get through that door is over my dead body.

Since Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn are gone...I call Pippin!
I shall unite the trees to defeat this evil.

OT: I think that there might be a slight problem with Rockstar's sense of humor, but regardless, I think the wallpapers are pretty sick.
See I don't think they need to worry about their fans of the games. No matter how bad they treat their employees. We all bought MW2 from EVIL EVIL Activision. And we'll all buy GTA 5 whenever it comes out from slave master overlord Rockstar. And you know what? We'll like it.The_Deleted said:
Woe to those that are controlled by others whose hands have been dipped in power and have become corrupted by it.
or it could be possible that the employees may have exaggerated some claims, ive never known rockstar to be the kind of guys that screw their own people over, that being said san diego churned out midnight club which was well received but didn't perform to par; and they may have delayed redemption to the point that NY office is officially fed up with them, hence this little cartoon
at the same time, it's hard to ignore this letter; but given that studios don't really talk about work conditions all that often nobody but the designers themselves can say how they really feel working at a particular office

ain't it the truth? i wouldn't be surprised (but nonetheless laughing my ass off) if jack thompson just acts up so he can get paid by rockstar themselves (keep in mind he only resurfaces whenever the name GTA arises)Patrick_and_the_ricks said:
That is an excellent way to deal with the discontent... on the surface. The art is amusing, the concept also amusing, but the context makes it all fall very flat and taste bitter indeed.
Rockstar may not have done any of the things people claim (really, this could happen in any company that big from mere financial neglect; not even maliciousness is necessary), but making wallpapers does not improve the situation.
It's time to hunt some orc.
PS: The posters quoted below are awesome.
