Overview
- Rockstar dismissed more than 30 employees in October, asserting they breached policy by sharing confidential information in a public forum.
- The company later alleged the leaks included specific game features from upcoming and unannounced titles.
- The IWGB union rejects Rockstar’s explanation as falsehoods, saying workers discussed workplace conditions in a private, invite-only Discord that should be legally protected.
- UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the case deeply concerning and said ministers would investigate.
- Scottish Labour MP Chris Murray said Rockstar initially asked MPs to sign NDAs for a meeting, withdrew the request, and failed to reassure him on compliance with UK employment law.
