We traveled to Edinburgh to meet the 31 employees fired from Rockstar Games ahead of the release of Grand Theft Auto 6. Rockstar claims these firings were due to “gross misconduct”, but the workers have another two words they prefer to use instead: “union busting”.
It’s a gross but established practice to fire loads of people before releasing a game. This denies them the opportunity to be listed in the credits and can be a huge set back to their careers.
I’m not surprised, but I am disappointed.
