The Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain said that Rockstar Games is "attempting to reverse engineer a rationale" for terminating over 30 UK and internally employees in October 2025. The Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has shot back at Rockstar Games regarding the firing of 30+ staffers, saying that the company's latest statement is "littered with falsehoods and disinformation." "Rockstar's latest statement is littered with falsehoods and disinformation--they have given multiple, conflicting reasons to explain why the workers were fired, as if attempting to reverse engineer a rationale for the dismissals," the union said in an emailed statement. "Once again, they have chosen to mischaracterise workers speaking about their working conditions in a private forum as 'leaking information.' It is hard to understand this statement as anything but a desperate attempt to deflect from the global scrutiny they have come under over the last month. From the UK Prime Minister in the House of Commons, to the game developers across the world erupting in protest--all eyes are on Rockstar and their lawless attack on the people who make them their billions." The situation has intensified since bursting in October 2025. Protests were formed outside Rockstar North's office in Edinburgh. Over 200 Rockstar Games developers signed a letter demanding that those ousted workers be reinstated. Even the UK's Prime Minister said they will keep pressure on Rockstar Games regarding the incident. All eyes are truly on this matter, as Rockstar Games and IWGB debate back and forth over how and why those developers were terminated and what sould be done about the situation.
