Saying that the info that your studio isn't crunching yet is insight into the development stage of your video game doesn't make it look like you want to avoid crunch. Just saying, rockstar.

Of all the many, myriad things Trump is, he's also a lying, gutless coward. He’s been threatening to do this for years. He controls the DOJ. At least have the balls to stand up and admit you're directing this.
