      I know Discord has it's flaws, but why would that discredit them from organising a union? Would you referred if they had used Teams or an email chain?

        It's interesting how Discord absolutely nukes its own trust by pretending to be more than it is. I loathe discord, to the point I'd use a competitor (not teams) just to evade it. I'm sick of finding a hobby group using it as a Frankenstein forum / chat / info hub when it's only built for chat. Discord is fine for this use, but I'm getting used to the distrusting it so often that it blends into reasonable use.

            It's freaking *everyone*. Every niche is Discord now. ...That being said, this *is* likely a private chat group. They probably should've used something anonymized with non-persistant chat, but still.

              Hard to organize when you can’t look at history. Not to mention, discord can easily be anonymous, and you can easily kill off viewing history.

                True. Makes me wonder how they got caught? Discord basically not anonymos *by default*, so maybe no-one anonymized and someone in the channel reported it all to managment?

                    I wouldn’t doubt they required some sort of “prove you’re in the company” or something, or were shooting the shit publicly in a way that would allow for easy identification.

                            In case anyone thought the "rockstar" being referred to was Joe Strummer, it's actually Gene Simmons.

The good news is by then I can easily justify upgrading my PC too. Right now it's hard to justify upgrading from my RTX 3060 Ti, but by 2027 or 2028 when the PC version comes out, I'm sure that there's something enticing available from all 3 GPU manufacturers (yay, we almost have competition now) and I can get the hell off Nvidia again finally.

                                  Previously decided never to buy a Rockstar game again (after an unplayable PC port on GTA 4) this just crystallizes that decision

                                          Sales for GTA VI will probably be similar or higher compared to GTA V.
