After vying for a promotion and letting awesome opportunities pass me by while waiting for the promised bump, my total compensation has decreased.

At the same time that they bumped my salary 5k, they took away a $500 monthly bonus from my comp. Totaling 6k/year.

I worked my ass off for the promo and I got it, but it came with a serious catch - a compensation decrease of 1k annually.

Just wondering, has anyone else ever gotten a “promotion” with a caveat of less total compensation? Or am I just that unlucky?

In 2013, the previous installment dropped consoles only, which they are doing again with gta 6.

Took a while before there even was a multiplayer mode.

Took even longer for a pc version to drop.

By the time I had gotten around to buying the game for a second time, the window to link your console & pc accounts had come and gone.

Just ended up never really playing the game much beyond the early days and never kept up with their online updates because I lost so much console progress.

I kind of understood it in 2013. But I mean, I’m sure game development has come a long way in the 13 years since the previous installment. However, the roadmap looks the same.

The pc release delay, probably limited online functionality if any day 1, etc.

I’m becoming convinced they wanted me to restart on pc. They wanted me to feel the urge to subscribe to GTA +, and buy shark cards, on top of buying the game twice.

It’s just twisted. It’s not a capacity issue, it’s not a development issue, it’s a strategic delay to increase sales with a second release and with progression resets for anyone besides consistent, loyal, early PC second time customers.

Indie developers in large are more accommodating than Rockstar. It almost makes me just not even want to play it until it’s several years matured and on sale.

Does anyone else find Rockstar’s release strategy is teetering on unforgivable?
