it absolutely is! The good part is that you can pretty much ignore a lot of the more detailed mechanics and just break it down to "shoot enemies, level up, push into base"

We want to offer our total solidarity with @unitetheunion.bsky.social members at Alexander Dennis who have been striking this month for better pay.

Solidarity With The Workers At Alexander Dennis, Scarborough

Alexander Dennis recently signed a contract for over 200 buses, worth at least £57 million. This £57 million is generated from the skills and labour of the workers, not bosses. Those on the shop floor will, of course, not see their fair share of this revenue. Workers at Alexander Dennis now have a fifth less spending power than they did 5 years ago. This is no accident.
We are all, as workers, united through our experiences of our labour being devalued & exploited by bosses. The IWGB is far too familiar with leadership lining their own pockets with the stolen wages of their employees.

In response to strike action, bosses have made a paltry offer amounting to a real terms pay cut over the next two years. This is a further squeeze on those of us who are already struggling with the everyday reality of a cost of living crisis.

They do not respect the power that we wield.
It's time we remind them that workers united will never be defeated.

Victory to the workers
Total solidarity with those on strike

It's been almost a year since 31 workers in the IWGB Game Workers Union at Rockstar were fired in what I believe is a clear union busting attempt by Rockstar execs. If you're near Glasgow on Thursday, come support the workers as their tribunal case is getting started. I'll be there!

the ages / civ switching mechanic is a very inspired design choice, helps the game feel fresh and your civ unique at all stages of the game (and allows for late-game civs to actually do something). bunch of people didn't like it though 😅

so you're never gonna see all the content in a single playthrough and even the choice of "do I engage in this quest or not?" is suddenly a lot more important

you have a limited number of days to accomplish the main quest before you fail it (alternative ending rather than instant game over) and basically every quest plus some exploration activities, learning high level skills etc. cost you some units of time (it doesn't progress in realtime)

Whatever you think of the new GTA, one of the best things you can do is support the people who made it. Consider chipping something towards the former Rockstar workers to help towards their legal funds. You might get a lovely hand-written note out of it 👀 iwgb.org.uk/en/post/dont...

Back in October, Rockstar Games fired 34 employees for alleged gross misconduct. The severity of these firings could have spelled the end for a burgeoning union effort that was underway, but it didn't. In fact, the union is now *bigger* than it's ever been before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym4z...
