New ruling in Rockstar Games legal battle means the GTA 6 studio won't be forced to pay fired employees interim relief — 'We regret that we were put in a position where dismissals were necessary'

Grand Theft Auto 6.

• A judge has ruled against forcing Rockstar Games to pay the 34 fired employees interim relief after the IWGB accused the studio of union-busting
• The studio says it welcomes the decision and stands by its initial statement that claims the employees were fired for leaking company secrets
• IWGB president Alex Marshall says that despite the ruling, "Despite being refused interim relief today, we’ve come out of last week’s hearing more confident than ever that a full and substantive tribunal will find Rockstar’s calculated attempt to crush a union to be not only unjust but unlawful"

Rockstar Games won't be forced to pay interim relief to 34 Grand Theft Auto 6 developers who were fired in October, a judge has ruled.
