Rockstar Games employees were told they can respond to journalist inquiries, if anyone reaches out to them individually regarding working conditions. All of which stemmed from concerns when Dan Houser, Co-Founder and Vice President of Creativity at Rockstar, bragged about the 100-hour work weeks that went into Red Dead Redemption 2.

I’m “non exempt” so my overtime pay starts at 1.5x salary and scales to 2x after 8 hours of OT in a week or 12 hours in a single day, in accordance with California law.

Others, such as six-year Rockstar employee Wesley Mackinder, have voiced similar sentiments.

Just to add a concrete example of what I’m talking about. During the dev. of RDR I sometimes worked 50 hours during the week. This was on and off for a few months. And by on and off I really do mean off. Some weeks I just worked a flat 40 and there was zero issues with this.
