Anyway, when the game first hit the ground, we all found out about some questionable practices that were happening within the universe of the world known as Red Dead Redemption 2. The developers, who work at Rockstar, were having to work extra-long and even unpaid shifts to get the game out on time. Talk about a big ouch over there. Well, as you might have guessed, this stuff leaked to the press, and public pressure was applied to the folks who lead the executive team over at Rockstar. It seems some major changes were made. Keep on reading below to find out more.

As you might have guessed already, as it turns out, one of the biggest things to change was working longer hours than anyone had to do. In the past, employees were feeling a bit pressured to work around the clock. Some of them felt like they had to put in the overtime hours. As if it was expected of them.

You see, in the working world, this is actually a big no-no. You are not supposed to do that, guys. So the folks over at Rockstar ended up getting in a spot of the public limelight and were called out for their activities. Well, you might guess what happened next. Yeah, that’s right, cultural change, baby!

How do you change an entire culture? Well, it always starts at the top. Or it starts from the bottom. It’s gotta start somewhere, to say the least. But it did start in the long run, and eventually, things got fixed.
