Rockstar parent Take-Two Interactive says all the employees in question were fired for "gross misconduct."

    Oh no bad PR! Time to release a new GTA 6 trailer to make everyone forget about this!

      They could record their own farts and Gamers will gladly eat it up. GTA 6 is too big to fail.

        Like Borderlands 4 was too big to fail, only to become laughing stock that only sold…

        Hold on, how the fuck did Borderlands 4 sell more than 2.5 million copies?! OK, I take your point.

          IIRC borderlands 3 was kind of a flop, and i didn’t even know borderlands 4 was a thing till like, a week before release date

            Borderlands 3: The initial sales of the game were the highest of the Borderlands series: more than five million copies were sold in five days, and to date more than 22 million copies sold

            Hardly a flop, numbers wise, and bl4 isnt trailing so far behind that

            Gamers don’t care, and I hate it
