Rockstar 'saddened' by employee accusations

'We've always tried to be supportive of staff' says company statement
Rockstar has officially responded to this week's infamous outburst from anonymous former staff that its San Diego HQ is being 'run into the ground' - commenting that the firm is 'saddened' by the suggestions.

The developer wrote on its own Asked & Answered blog today:

"As for the stories spreading around the internet, yes we have noticed them. Unfortunately, this is a case of people taking the opinions of a few anonymous posters on message boards as fact. No business is ever perfect, but Rockstar Games is a tight knit team made up of around 900 supremely talented and motivated professionals, many of whom have worked here for a very long time.

"We're saddened if any former members of any studio did not find their time here enjoyable or creatively fulfilling and wish them well with finding an environment more suitable to their temperaments and needs, but the vast majority of our company are focused solely on delivering cutting edge interactive entertainment.

"We've always cared passionately about the people working here, and have always tried to maintain a supportive creative environment. There is simply no way Rockstar could continue to produce such large scale, high quality games without this. That being said, making great games is very challenging, which is why we have and will continue to try to keep hold of some of the best talent in the industry and support them in every way we can."

If everybody that worked at Rockstar was working in conditions as bad as the blogegr said surely they would have no staff left?

Maybe they should do a week at CVG tower and then realise how lucky they are. Razz
