Fired workers from Rockstar Games say players should not boycott the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6. Instead, they urge supporters to help fund their legal battle against the studio, which they say is connected to their firings last year.
Across outlets, the workers describe their case as one involving their attempts to unionize and what they characterize as “union-busting.” They ask fans to buy specially designed union merchandise—such as T-shirts—as a way to cover legal costs. Rock Paper Shotgun, Kotaku, and Eurogamer all report that the request is framed as support for the workers’ proceedings rather than opposition to the game itself. The articles focus on the workers’ appeal and the planned legal action, while the core dispute centers on whether the firings were retaliatory. The specific legal arguments and any direct response from Rockstar are not detailed in the excerpts provided.
