Rockstar Spouse Follow-ups

Gamasutra follows up on the Rockstar Spouse letter they posted last week alleging exploitative working conditions at Rockstar San Diego. They have what's purported to be an internal Rockstar email denying the allegations in the mail, but urging employees to voice grievances, saying: "We are committed to working through any issues anyone at the studio may have, and to providing support wherever possible." The International Game Developers Association has also issued a statement on this, saying in part: "Events like these raise the awareness of quality of life issues in the industry and among the public. The IGDA has made clear its stance on excessive uncompensated overtime, and this instance represents an opportunity for reflection across the industry. Particularly with the stresses imposed by the declining economy, game studios, like other independent businesses, are under increased pressure and therefore are more susceptible to production concerns."
