A final employment tribunal hearing between Rockstar Games and 31 employees fired after their work on the next Grand Theft Auto is under way in Scotland. The opening day includes public support for the dismissed workers, with rallies and speeches from people who say they were removed from the company in October 2025.
In pre-trial remarks reported by outlets covering the case, one fired developer frames the dispute as a response to intimidation in the workplace, saying the team is “fighting fear.” Both sources describe the hearing as the culmination of the workers’ challenge to Rockstar, which disputes their claims and is presenting its position through the tribunal process.
While both articles focus on the start of the tribunal and the workers’ statements, they differ slightly in emphasis: one highlights the public nature of the opening and the rallying atmosphere, while the other foregrounds the content and tone of the speaker’s remarks. The proceedings are ongoing and the tribunal will determine the issues raised by the dismissed staff.
