The ongoing dispute between Rockstar and its recently fired staff continues to escalate, with remaining employees siding with the former workers.
As the fallout of Rockstar Games’ decision to terminate 31 Grand Theft Auto 6 developers over what it claims to be «gross misconduct» continues to spiral, 220 staff members at Rockstar North have penned a joint letter demanding their former colleagues be reinstated immediately. Rockstar has already faced backlash from both the fired staffers and government organizations in the United Kingdom, and now remaining employees have voiced their support for their expulsed team members.
It was first revealed on October 31 that Rockstar fired dozens of GTA 6 developers, though the reason for the termination was unknown at the time. In the weeks following, however, some of the former employees accused Rockstar of union busting, as all the affected members were in talks to join unions or were already active members of such organizations.
