Shoutout to this low-poly mockup I did for an unreleased management sim a few years ago. You were a real one 🥲

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

There’s this cliff face in the demo for Interstate ‘76 where if you hit it just right with your car it teleports you up to the top of the mesa.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Wanted to work in film, but realized I was spending my evenings playing games, not watching movies.

I also didn’t feel like moving to California, Toronto or Vancouver soooo…

A lot of people seem worried about Valve's Gabecube not selling for $400, but the Asus Xbox handheld thingie is doing pretty well at $699+, so I bet this hasn't encouraged Valve to cut their price

Member of Scottish Parliament on the picket line with Rockstar workers
I attended the protest outside of Rockstar North in Edinburgh this evening to stand in solidarity with the more than 30 workers across the UK, including a number of my constituents who have been sacked.

I think we can all see at this point that Rockstar firing 30+ workers in a union was an act of union busting, right?

They haven't told us a single thing that counters that narrative in any meaningful way.

Hey, buddy, if you haven't read the book you should avoid all "Project Hail Mary" movie trailers from here on out.

I love how there’s a star called Betelgeuse and we do actually pronounce it “beetle juice.” None of that “it’s actually pronounced yer-EYE-nus” baloney.

We, the workers at Bethesda Games Studios, express our solidarity and support for the developers at Rockstar Games. Last month’s firings in the UK and Canada were a clear and disgusting case of union busting.
