GTA 6 developers accused of firing employees who tried to form a union

Rockstar Games has been accused of wrongful dismissals of employees, allegedly related to an attempt to form an internal union. According to sources, several studio employees involved in the labor rights initiative were abruptly dismissed from their positions shortly after they began promoting the idea of ​​a developer union.

Independent gaming journalists and anonymous former Rockstar employees have circulated information about the alleged dismissals. They claim that the studio's management reacted negatively to the initiative and took steps to suppress it. It is currently unknown whether an official investigation is underway, but the situation has sparked a wave of discussion in the professional community, especially in light of the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6.

Rockstar has previously faced criticism for its internal culture of overtime and high workloads in the months leading up to releases. Following the controversies surrounding GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, the company promised to improve working conditions, but the new allegations could call those promises into question.
