In light of the recent criticism that Rockstar Games has been facing for its firing of over 30 employees, one employee from the studio has taken to the GTA Forums to talk about the company’s actions. Under request of anonymity, and having been verified as a real Rockstar Games employee by an admin, the person – using the name Organize – has further criticised the Grand Theft Auto developers, calling the company out for union busting.

    Different people, probably. And a company can change a lot in 7 years (in recent times, usually not for the better).

      I’m genuinely tired of companies just picking up the villain ball more and more as the years pass…

        That’s what happens when regulators like the FTC, Department of Labor, etc. have been essentially destroyed by neoliberals and crony capitalists.

      For sure. The people that made RDR and other great are long gone. I was debating whether or not to get GTAVI when it comes out, but with the union busting they’ve made the decision for me.
