Rockstar’s Slack/Discord controversy in late 2025 involved the layoff of 34 employees for “gross misconduct.” Rockstar stated that employees created an invite-only Discord server, where, allegedly, the employees leaked confidential information about GTA VI. The employees then fought back, claiming they were fired for discussing Slack policy changes in the server. Affected employees were a part of the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB).
