Rockstar Games Faces Backlash Over Return-to-Office Mandate for GTA 6 Developers

Rockstar Games' decision to require employees to return to the office full-time for the final stretch of GTA 6 development has been criticized by developers and the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB). The union has accused the studio of going back on its previous promises of flexible work options and expressed concerns about the impact on staff, including potential return to "crunch" practices. Employees have voiced worries about work-life balance, health issues, and lack of consultation from management, while calling for a reconsideration of the decision.
