GTA VI Pre-Launch Chaos: Leaks, Firings, and a Union Push
TL;DR
GTA VI enters launch week amid leaks and labor drama: after Rockstar fired over 30 workers who later helped form a union, a hacker group published purported gameplay footage; the IWGB asks fans not to boycott but to support workers’ rights, while critics argue that pre-release hype and secrecy fuels a dysfunctional industry, signaling a chaotic rollout rather than a smooth launch.
