The decade's first "totally real rumor": Rockstar Games is shutting down

[Lant_War]

Man, I was really hoping for Red Dead Redemption 3 but I guess this is it. RIP Rockstar, never milked a franchise :(

[Vampirolol]

They haven't made a succesful game since Enter the Gecko, though that sold five billions so maybe they still have money for the next month?

The new decade's Nintendo is doomed.

Their games were too niche. Jack Thompson was right that they were also too violent, which I'm sure is what led to their games not selling enough.

 

[Deleted member 23850]

Somebody has too much time on their hands.

 

[Deleted member 14377]

Rockstar has cut costs and jobs and they are now going under the new name IndieTalent

The problem is that if everyone posts threads here "for fun", the whole forum would be one giant shithole.

 

[andresmoros]

Yeah, no. This is pretty impossible. GTAV online activity is still huge (last I heard). There's no way that they are shutting it down anytime soon. Also the reasons its giving for it closing is basically the gaming industry bane of existence. Rockstar's crunch time and environment seems pretty shitty, but I don't know if it will just close and that's it.

Well, they haven't made anything good since last decade.

 

[EJS]

GTAV needed another 5 years atop the charts.

Lol. But that's what it already is. Post/Threads like these are expected and certainly not the exception.

 

[FancyPants]

Why is this a thread? Are the mods ok with ResetERA turning into Facebook and Twitter?

 

[InsaneLuchador]

Rockstar: We decided we hate money.

 

[Duraigo]

But who will make AAA table tennis games!!?!?!?!?!?

 

[nekkid]

Posting so I can tell grandkids I was part of this nonsense.

Yes it would, which is why doing this every so often (not all the time) is fine

Imagine waking up on January first, and this is what you do. That's quite a way to get the year rolling for yourself.

[TheMrPliskin]

I didn't believe it at first but the evidence definitely convinced me.

I guess Rockstar had a good run.

 

[criteriondog]

Happy new year and new decade Era lol

 

[Nameless]

If you read between the lines here you can see they are being acquired by Google

[Deleted member 49535]

Why even post it here. That guy is probably 15.

 

[MysticGon]

Entire Workforce drowned in all that money huh... Sad way to go. R.I.P

 

[Velezcora]

Yeah Rockstar was never going to take off. I mean who even buys games about cowboys? That's just gay, yo.

 

[low-G]

They made their money, now time to rest.

 

[Zalman]

That's what happens when you abandon your best IP (Bully) and focus on the boring ones (GTA/RDR).

 

[Linus815]

GTA 6 is rockstar's final score, after that they're off to Tahiti to become mango farmers.

 

[808s & Villainy]

Can someone explain the whole tons of quotes thing? Writing "evidence" already gets the job done
