Don't boycott Grand Theft Auto 6, say workers fired by Rockstar - buy a T-shirt to help fund the legal battle instead
Eurogamer • • technology
Key Points:
- Workers fired by Rockstar Games last autumn amid alleged union-busting have urged the public not to boycott the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6.
- Instead, the affected workers and the IWGB union are encouraging financial support for their ongoing legal battle against Rockstar through merchandise sales, including a new T-shirt.
- The fired developers emphasized their desire for fans to enjoy the game they helped create while holding Rockstar accountable for their treatment.
- The dispute began when 31 unionized Rockstar employees were dismissed for "gross misconduct," leading to an employment tribunal between Rockstar and the IWGB.
- Rockstar denies all union-busting allegations, but the union has gained increased support since the firings.
