Do Not Boycott GTA 6, Fired Rockstar Workers Tell Fans: 'There’s a Better Way to Support Us and Hold Rockstar to Account'

The first Rockstar workers who are embroiled in a legal battle with the company have told fans they shouldn’t boycott GTA 6 to protest on their behalf.

With GTA 6 due out in November, and the final hearing of the workers’ proceedings against Rockstar set to begin in Glasgow next month, the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB) asked backers to buy T-shirts to help fund the legal battle instead.

Rockstar has insisted the employees it fired late last year were dismissed because they leaked game features for upcoming and unannounced titles in Discord, not because they were trying to unionize. 34 members of staff at Rockstar were dismissed — 31 in the UK and three in Canada — sparking protests outside the office of GTA 6 developer Rockstar North in Edinburgh, Scotland, and outside parent company Take-Two’s office in London.
