2027 I guess it is then :(

I don't think this is likely to impact development much, they can rent office space elsewhere if needed.
embedding-shape•53m ago
This is the same company that claims the exact hours of crunch is a "company secret" that would expose their development process and features of the game, so I don't think it's far off they'd use something like this to push another delay.
keyle•1h ago
This is not going to help the memes... Glad no one was injured!
giancarlostoro•1h ago
Did the game become real life? Wild.
Stevvo•1h ago
A delay would inconvenience the whole games industry, not just Rockstar; every other developer has to time their release and development around GTA 6.
embedding-shape•1h ago
I think most companies at this point learned that no launch date is set in stone. Sure, if you're doing AAA games, you might not want to launch right next to GTA, but for most others? Matters way less than people think.
TheCraiggers•23m ago
Tell that to the indie developers that launched games alongside the surprise release of Silksong.
embedding-shape•21m ago
> Tell that to the indie developers that launched games alongside the surprise release of Silksong.

Huh? Is your argument that it would be bad for Silksong to surprise release next to GTA? Or that indie developers should have planned around the surprise release of Silksong? I really don't understand what argument you're trying to make here.

xmodem•15m ago
The point is that no indie dev was able to plan around the surprise release of Silksong, precisely because it was a surprise.
embedding-shape•11m ago
Ah, so then just an agreement with "Matters way less than people think" in the end?
cdirkx•6m ago
The argument is that Silksong will completely absorb any potential market for you new indie game had during that period. People will be too busy playing another game, leading to poor numbers during launch. It's hard to recover from that.
TheCraiggers•6m ago
It sounded like you were saying other games launching at the same time yours does matters less than people think.

My argument was that other releases can and do impact sales.

Someone got too tired of the pay to win nonsense and decided to play in real life ? xD
nkrisc•1h ago
The very first sentence of the article:

> Fire services attended the offices of Grand Theft Auto 6 developer Rockstar North this morning and secured "structural damage" following a reported boiler explosion.

Are you familiar with the concept of a joke ? I can send you some peer reviewed papers to read about humour if you'd like.
Novosell•1h ago
Jokes are not permitted on HN, please don't do it again.
testfrequency•1h ago
Joking about an office building exploding is contextually not a funny joke
mschuster91•1h ago
As long as no one died or got seriously injured, I see no problem in cracking jokes.
pfdietz•53m ago
Even worse, they didn't make a joke about the game "being on Steam".

That's not actually true, though, is it? Or is there some other HN legal document besides https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ?
nkrisc•1h ago
Yes, I am familiar with jokes, but I don't see one here.
kotaKat•1h ago
Well... then I guess the local boilermakers' union will have to come around with Scabby the Rat inflatables.
rationalist•48m ago
It seems like it would be easier for some people to rig a boiler to explode than trying to get their hands on dynamite.

Why go through the hassle of trying to source a bomb when the victim provides you one on location already.

FYI, I'm not saying that's what happened, just that your dismissal shouldn't be immediate.

Also, the best way to sabotage something, is to make it look like an accident, that way they aren't looking for you.

embedding-shape•1h ago
Slightly unrelated (maybe?), here is a moderately nuanced summary video of the latest happenings in the ongoing court cases in "Rockstar vs Union": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnuipPQDd_w

TLDR of the case: Rockstar fired some employees for a slew of different reasons (some leaked/confidential messages), (most) fired employees were members of the union and the court case is about if 1) they were fired for the right reasons and 2) they were fired in the correct way and right now 3) should they still get paid while the court case figures out the answers to #1 and #2

I'm saying "maybe?" unrelated as it does sound like something a disgruntled employee might do, but could also be something completely else. I feel like it might be related though, hence the linking.

oniony•39m ago
Could be a disgruntled employee, it could be Rockstar destroying their own records, it could be a leaky gas pipe.
baalimago•1h ago
Ah, the good old "explode the boiler to lower delivery expectations" trick. Befitting the studio of GTA!
