Rockstar Says Dozens Were Fired for Leaks as Union Mounts Protests and Legal Push

IWGB rejects the leak claim, pursuing legal remedies for reinstatement.

Overview

  • Take-Two and Rockstar confirm 30 to 40 staff in the UK and Canada were dismissed for "gross misconduct."
  • Rockstar told Bloomberg the individuals shared confidential information in a public forum and said the actions were unrelated to union activity.
  • The company has not specified what information was allegedly shared or provided public evidence of the violations.
  • IWGB contends the posts were in a private union Discord with only labor organizers as non-employees and labels the dismissals union busting.
  • Protests were held at Take-Two’s London office and Rockstar North in Edinburgh, as the union prepares legal action and says it has preserved the Discord for review.
