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.

        Fucking WotC are racing Rockstar to the bottom. Like imagine spending actual money with that agency thinking “this’ll be good pr”. Just saw a movie where they were the antagonist and decided to look into them. JFC my life was a tiny bit better before then.

      They were a group of mercenaries formed in 1850 that got hired by Lincoln as sort of a primitive Secret Service, but after the war they were usually hired to fight against organized labor. Usually by beating up/harassing or straight up shooting the workers. They’re still a thing today, apparently…
