twitter checkmark will say literally anything but "they're union-busting" thread #2478732984732904734

they failed console certification 30+ times already, game just isn't ready

>They're essentially paying
They're not paying shit, that's not how stocks work. The stock price will recover sooner rather than later and it'll be like nothing ever happened.

Saar, do not redeem the$3B market cap

>>725290790 (OP)
very good write AI saar

>>725290790 (OP)
Based honestly.
I've stopped buying games at launch because for most of them 1.0 is just the start of early access because of how busted these games are. One has to give a game like a year for it to be in a state where it's worth playing.

ai is enshittfying everything, it's truly wild

>they're paying $17m per day!!
I hate this retarded misrepresentation of how the stock market works. Rockstar isn't paying anything extra for the delay beyond the operational costs they're paying already. All that's happening is the sale date (when they start making money on the game instead of just spending it on dev) is getting pushed back.

>>725290948
QRD? If the game is truly failing cert, it means it has to be literally console-killing/unplayable, because if your IP is big enough, cert becomes more 'suggestions' than requirements. (Just look at CP2077 on PS4/XB1.)

And for a game of GTAVI's size, 6mo isn't much. If I had to guess, it's bug fixes and maybe in-place swaps/changes to existing content that doesn't require a lot of testing to check.

>>725291984
I work in the industry, they've failed console certification 36 times, specifically PS5. Sony has a zero tolerance policy since cyberpunk.

>>725292946
>since cyberpunk.
CP77 launch was glorious

PAy them FUCKING PAY THEM ROCKSTAr

>>725292946
>i work in the industry
Shalom, fellow gamedev anon.

>they've failed cert 36 times
On GTAVI specifically? You work at MS or Sony? Otherwise, how would you know?

>Sony has a zero tolerance since CP2077
I'm sure they lost cash on transaction fees after doing refunds for that first month. It was Sony' fault, too, since they undoubtedly gave CDPR all sorts of cert exceptions when it was clear they shouldn't have.

>>725293392
Say what you will about the people who got sacked, but Rockstar firing these people for bullshit reasons was some of the most transparent union busting a company could do. I hope the UK union sues the shit out of them just to punish Rockstar corporate for their stupidity.

>>725290790 (OP)
I wonder how these "people" are in real life. Who the fuck talks like that?

>We can't le AFFORD to compete with Rockstar!

They don't? Silksong was made by like 4 straya cunts and it was a massive hit at just 20 dollars. Maybe its time to stop making expensive video games and start making good ones

Does this not perfectly encapsulate the jeet mindset? Every moment you spend not scamming someone is money you are literally giving away

>>725293863
They are people that have totally bought into the grift in hopes of leeching off of it themselves. Actually, decade long development times and multibillion dollar budgets are good! Why are they good? Well because the stock goes up. What if it underperforms? That can never happen, because look at how much time and money they spent.

>>725293860
>On GTAVI specifically?
yes, and i know a couple of people in playstation studios who know people themselves
>since they undoubtedly gave CDPR all sorts of cert exceptions
sony gave free passes with a guarantee a day one patch would actually pass certification since 99% of the time it was true, but they stopped because of cyberpunk.

>>725290790 (OP)
>muh market cap
How tf does that shit even matter? Oh no, the stock price dropped! 6 months later they release a game the price went up. NOBODY in Rockstar lost any money, the retards on the stock market did.

>>725290790 (OP)
Imagine being suck a fucking faggot your only contribution to the discourse is glazing corporations like you want to fuck them.
Rockstar doesn't give a fuck.

>>725290790 (OP)
Well yeah. People are buying into the stock with the assumption that they'll see a return on it earlier.
If not, they're going to invest into something else that will.
They're all going to buy into the stock again when the release window nears.
It's not like all that lost value just disappeared into thin air.

>>725290790 (OP)
holy cope

>>725294990
I'd do the same thing in Sony's position with GTAVI. The game is going to be the biggest release since CP2077, so if the day 1 experience is a buggy mess, Sony's customer service team is the one who takes it in the ass when people have complaints, refund requests, and whatever else.

>>725295195
How else is saar supposed to get his free copy of GTAVI, anon?

>>725290790 (OP)
Market cap is not real money.

Pokemon is bigger than Rockstar lol.

If Rockstar takes twenty years to produce the next GTA Pokemon will have grown the brand even further.

>>725290790 (OP)
OR they got an Assasins Creed Shadows on their hands and they know that it will murder them and basically wipe AAA games off the map.

>>725290790 (OP)
that is not how it works, that was never real money, shut the fuck up, good morning saar.
>>725290883
video game unions are cancer because western game devs are cancer.

>>725290790 (OP)
That's some pretty insane cope lol.

>>725297291
Pokemon is old and fragile to the point of Nintendo having to go scorched earth with lawsuits and blatant patent abuses to try to hold down a major competitor. The franchise also has fatigue and is almost 30 years old at this point.

>>725290790 (OP)
No, the game got delayed because it's not finished, because of shitty managment (like every AAA gave dev) and recently busting unions at the cost of ousting some actual devs who were important.

>>725290790 (OP)
how many Poles are in 6 months?

GTA Online must still be making enough that they wanted to keep milking it.

>>725297291
It actually isn't. Rockstar pulled in 3 times the amount of pokemon in 2024. 2 vs 6 billion, thats not releasing a mainline game in 6 years, haven't even done a remaster in 3.

>>725290790 (OP)
>AAA slop positions itself to fail
Tale as old as time. And no, GTA6 won't "fail", but putting itself in any sort of risky position is in and of itself impressive because it won't fail.

>>725290790 (OP)
Retards still do not understand stocks.
More news at 11.

>>725290790 (OP)
Market cap doesn't get "destroyed". It's a theoretical evaluation. They'll recover it and then some if GTA VI launches in a good state. If they didn't delay it and GTA VI launched incredibly unpolished, their market cap wouldn't grow as much.

Either way, when GTA VI launches, it's going to massively bump their stock prices unless it's complete dogshit.

>10+ years of development time
>infinite budget from milking Online and a prestige company best devs want a chance to slip in
>we need (another) delay because our game is still half baked
Red flags much?

>>725290790 (OP)
Nonsense.
As expected from Pajeet.

>>725295037
it doesnt
it's made up
people just like gambling

>>725297845
Exactly. Pokemon is the biggest case of The Emperor's New Clothes in the realm of gaming. Yokai Watch already (albeit briefly) scared the hell out of them too, remember (hence them starting to crib ideas and even its art/comedy style for the anime), but Palworld is a whole new level threat because it actually sold like hotcakes, embarrasses modern Pokemon games' quality despite being half the price (even less now with the Switch 2's game prices), and has Sony handling their merchandising now.

If their protectionist lawsuit and patent-trolling don't go their way, be prepared for a ton of bigger devs to start making games that are basically public declarations of "look, the Emperor has no clothes!". I don't think most people realize just how hard Nintendo in general is currently coasting on the assumption of never having competition again.

>>725290790 (OP)
This game is going to cost $120 at this rate

decapitate twitter posters

>>725300705
>if the patent trolling doesn't go their way
There's already cracks in that facade with those other rulings against them. Palworld succeeding, and escaping their abuse, would be doubly dangerous since it's more 'edgy' than Pokemon's sanitary family friendly bullshit and would attract a larger audience.

>Nintendo has no clothes
I've long been of the opinion that they've been living on borrowed time since all they do is sell their devoted fanslaves the same four franchises over and over again. Mario, the character, is almost forty years old at this point; it's just like how Darth Vader is going to be 50 in 2027. Their franchises are just these tired, well-trod fields that have been plowed to death.

>>725298181
Probably just getting the online slop ready for launch, ready to tax all the retards who will spend thousands of skins and cars

>>725300818
My guess is MSRP of $90 for the basic bitch console versions at launch with some kind of $150+ collector's edition with day 1 extra vehicles and shit.

The big determinant for pricing will be whether GTA Online ships on launch day, or if it's just the single player mode. Because if GTAO is there from day one, expect a shitload of MTX stuff, probably a new premium currency or two, and other really scummy RDR2-style shit.
