Tbh, game studios often require special equipment such as dev kits and high-end PCs for development. It makes sense that they might not want to send this equipment home, especially if it is an unreleased console"s dev kit. Game studios honestly seem more justified in not having WFH
Tbh you shouldn't defend rockstar just because you like their games.
I actually don't like their games. I am speaking as someone who used to work for a AAA, both before and during COVID shelter in place
Why is everyone else in the comments disputing what you’re claiming?
Because every other dev here is saying that on-premise work isn't actually needed for for devkits, and this guy has a definite vibe of "man, if I don't defend the multi-million dollar game corporations, no one else will!"
