Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):A former Rockstar designer who worked on both Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 6 says layoffs aren’t the biggest threat facing the studio. Jérémy Hartvick, who left Rockstar in 2020, says the company has enough money to support its massive projects, the real pressure is whether devs can actually meet Rockstar’s extremely high expectations. “Rockstar can afford it.” But he adds: “The question is whether you can meet the expectations, and if you don’t, then you might not last.” He said the amount of work made it harder to be present with his family while working at Rockstar North in Edinburgh.
