Rockstar in UK union battle as court filings reveal a Discord whistleblower inside GTA 6 team

TL;DR Summary
UK employment tribunal filings reveal Rockstar fired 34 UK workers amid allegations linked to a union Discord server used to organize the IWGB Game Workers Union. The company alleges a whistleblower provided information for more than two years and cites server access issues as evidence of leakage, while the workers say the server was invite-only and not used to disclose confidential GTA 6 details. The documents present sharply divergent views on security, union rights, and management culture, with thousands of pages of evidence to be argued in the ongoing case.
