"Last week, we took action against a small number of individuals who were found to be distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum, a violation of our company policies,"
"This was in no way related to people's right to join a union or engage in union activities."
"Management are showing they don't care about delays to GTA 6, and that they're prioritizing union-busting by targeting the very people who make the game,"
"exercising their rights for a fairer workplace and a collective voice."
Rockstar Games terminated over 30 developers after citing the distribution and discussion of confidential information in a public forum as a violation of company policies. The company stated the action was not related to employees' rights to join or engage in unions and did not specify the exact nature of the alleged disclosures. The affected developers were part of a private Discord group connected to the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB), which has been organizing across multiple UK game studios and characterized the firings as union-busting. GTA 6 remains scheduled for May 26, 2026, after prior delays.
