It has been a tumultuous few days for Rockstar Games recently, between yet another delay to Grand Theft Auto 6 and its "ruthless" firing of over 30 employees – a controversial, to say the least, wave of layoffs that has now managed to reach the UK Parliament.
Although Rockstar claimed the firings came after internal leaks of "confidential information" and were "in no way related to people's right to join a union" – specifically accusing former devs of "distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum" – president Alex Marshall of the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain disagreed. He stated that the so-called "public forum" was actually a private Discord server.
