Dialogue WheelE8 // Is Red Dead Redemption 2 Worth 100 Hour Work Weeks? Horse Ball PhysicsNo. Unless it was part of a collective bargaining agreement with your union……Surprisingly, I found some other people that disagree with this praxis. Andy, Matt and Anton talk Rockstar Games and their kerfuffle with labour laws and the making of Red Dead Redemption 2.
If something is your passion should you sacrifice your health?
Are Video Games becoming frankly, too big to NOT have human suffering?
