Rockstar Games nearly doubled its workforce and overhauled its production culture while building Grand Theft Auto VI, according to Bloomberg video game reporter Jason Schreier (Bloomberg, October 17). Schreier told Bloomberg This Weekend that Rockstar has made efforts to curb excessive overtime during development, amid extraordinary commercial expectations for the upcoming title. The company reportedly believes its next major release after GTA VI could take significantly less time to develop, suggesting a structural shift in its production pipeline (Bloomberg, October 17). Given GTA VI's status as one of the most anticipated entertainment releases of the decade, with massive implications for the gaming industry's revenue benchmarks and labor practices, this remains a story likely to generate continued coverage through launch and beyond.
