Grand Theft Auto VI developer Rockstar Games has been accused of union-busting by the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain after a recent round of layoffs. gameinformer.com/2025/11/03/g...

Rockstar, the developer of Grand Theft Auto VI, reportedly fired between 30 and 40 employees in a move that the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain is claiming was "blatant" and "ruthless" union busting.

Across the world, game dev unions are standing with us. @rockstargames.com - reinstate our members, now!

The Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has accused Rockstar of union busting after the studio reportedly dismissed 30 to 40 employees last Thursday (October 30) www.gamesindustry.biz/iwgb-accuses...

Rockstar accused of firing over 30 union members in 'calculated attack on workers'

Last week, Rockstar was accused of firing over 30 people for engaging in union activity. In a statement to Bloomberg (and subsequently Game Developer), Rockstar owner Take-Two said those workers were fired for "gross misconduct." Today, an IWGB rep told me there is no evidence that was the case.

The fact that some of the companies who run the games industry are fighting so hard to stop unionization just proves how much power the workers have when they stand together. This disgusting action only delays the inevitable; solidarity will win.
