The controversy surrounding the recent layoffs at Rockstar Games continues with new developments, and we are quite sure we will hear more about it in the coming days. Recently, the company developing the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI fired for just cause between 30 and 40 employees: the initiative has been harshly criticized, as it is seen as a clear attempt to undermine employees' union rights.


Rockstar Games' Reasons

Rockstar Games obviously denies this account, through a spokesperson who provided clarification to Bloomberg. It is specified that the just cause in question should be sought in the inappropriate behavior of the fired employees, who allegedly shared and discussed confidential Rockstar information on forums accessible to outsiders. The spokesperson clarifies that there is no connection between the layoffs and union rights. We doubt that trade associations will believe his words, what do you think?
