All the excitement around next year's GTA 6 hasn't been loud enough to overshadow a recent Rockstar Games fallout involving the dismissal of over 30 employees, as political pressure has started to mount in Scotland, where Rockstar North is situated. Just last month, Rockstar parted ways with more than 30 employees over claims they were "distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum." In response, the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain called it "the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry" and issued legal claims against the dev. Since then, multiple protests have erupted outside of Rockstar North and parent company Take-Two's London offices. News of the scandal even reached both UK Parliament and Polish politics. IWGB president Alex Marshall also recently disputed the company's claims, explaining that the affected employees were discussing workplace conditions over a private Discord server, not leaking confidential information, which is what allegedly drew Rockstar's ire. "Rockstar, you're disgusting": Fired GTA 6 devs protest outside studio offices after dozens of unionizing employees were accused of leaking "confidential information" GTA 6 studio Rockstar Games' firing of "at least 30 employees" reaches the UK Parliament as MP questions "what steps can be taken" to support the former devs "Rockstar want us to feel scared": GTA 6 studio staff plan international protests demanding Rockstar reinstate 31 employees it claims were leaking information Now, according to STV News, Scottish Green Party councillor Dan Heap has tabled a motion to discuss the firings at next week's Fair Work Committee meeting, where he'll call on the council to support the former Rockstar workers by providing information on their welfare rights and available financial support. He'll also apparently ask the council leader to write to Rockstar Games to put pressure on the studio to reinstate the fired employees. GTA 6 fans grab their spare pitchforks and torches as AI "leak" gets out of hand, turning 8 million views into an angry mob: "I wouldn't have thought it would go this far."
