WGGB stands in solidarity with the @gamesworkers.co.uk members fired by @rockstargames.com
This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.
We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Fun fact…
Back in the day, publishers used to send in artificially resolution boosted screenshots so they looked better in print.
Many of us in print media called them bullshots, and it was particularly common in the Xbox and PS2 days!

Tip #12
Again. Resolution matters more than you think. An A4 page printed at 300 DPI is roughly 2480 × 3508 pixels.
Anything smaller may look soft or blurry in print.
Editors can always scale images down, but they can’t invent lost detail when scaling up.
