This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.
We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

The more people they fire, the more fragile they make themselves. They can replace devs, sure but they are losing tribal knowledge they will never get back. There comes a point where it starts to show in the end product.
It’s extremely profitable. If you have a problem with that, I’ll fucking ruin your life. If you look like you might be able to make ruining your life difficult and it’ll cost me a lot to ruin your life, I’ll just save myself the trouble and spend it to give you enough to make you forget what you were upset about. I’d rather ruin your life. It’s usually very inexpensive and it does a great job of serving as an example of why you fucking ignorant peasants should know your place. You don’t want to end up like these upstarts, trying to form a union and resisting! It’s a cost benefit analysis, really. My account did the math.
Right, and for their next trick they’re gonna break the all-time sales record with GTA6 because no one gives a fuck and evil is just OK now.

Yay capitalism!
It’s 2025, $ > humanity.
No war but class war.
Money, or more importantly the power and privilege that money provides, has always been more important than humanity, if you have enough of it.
