Instead of adopting a patriarchal position over me (son? wtf?) perhaps you could lay out what’s wrong with them? And then apply that to every other artform.

You are clearly not aware of the massively exploitative anti-worker position that Rockstar have been taking recently, that has been a focus for unionisation within the game dev industry.
Ok, fair enough. I’ll look into that.
But that’s the case with pretty much every service I use. Because capitalism.

I haven't got this yet, despite it being my birthday yesterday
But on the first one I would easily lose 4 hours wandering around collecting herbs and snake skins and have not moved one percentage on but enjoyed every minute.
RDD1 is the only game I have actually ever completed* and I've played a lot of games
*as in I saw the end credits, I was no where near 100%

just don't appear to see the need for it with a game that so long in development
saying that as Rockstar in the game world it is almost the equivalent of the Major film procedures (Disney, MGM, Universal and Sony ) combined
it not surprising people feel pressured into working these hours
friggin crazy
they need a friggin union to stamp this out

Red Dead Redemption 2 could net Houser brothers substantial royalties, says analyst [Update]
For anybody who wants context.
It's not just Rockstar who do this shit but it is shit.

Is it that bad? Sounds like there has been some crunch over the last few months of development, but the 100 hour week headline seems to be a misunderstanding. RockStar lifted their ban on employees discussing their workplace, and people are talking 60 hours tops, with decent working conditions. The QAs got the worst of it, according to Jim Sterling, but even they weren't doing sweatshop stuff...
FWIW, I'm not planning on buying this game.

Crunch is pretty standard within the gaming world. I don’t have the facts but by all accounts the rockstar guys probably get it easier than the smaller studios.
One studio whose name evades me at the moment has said they don’t do it. Or it may have been a particular producer who just flat out refuses and instead will delay the game. I know they were praised during a health awareness week for it.

I've got off the mountain and into the proper open world bit now. There's almost too much to do - it looks fantastic and the characters seem to have more depth than most games. I'm reacquainting myself with the joys of just riding out with no particular intention but inevitably ending up in some sort of bother. Really good game - I've barely scratched the surface of it yet but it's got me hooked already.

Thread has gone quiet. I presume everyone is locked into the game
I have no console, so I'm addicted to those gameplay walkthroughs by BradRad on Youtube!
Cmon you cunts! Tell me, it really is worth getting a divorce to play this!

22/11/2022 - got a maths joke.
Played for hours last night.
Only did two missions and spent the rest just exploring the map.
even then only got as far as Saint Denis.
Although I keep in getting the controls wrong.
For example, I've a $50 bounty in Valentine because, instead of 'greeting' a man, I accidentally shot him at point blank eange.
A while later I returned to get a hair cut, just as a *second* bar brawl started outside. I got off my horse, and one guy started on me, I threw a punch, which hit my horse (by accident), the horse kicked me in the head, which killed me.
It's sooo good!
