Rockstar Games responds to staff layoffs amid leaked GTA 6 footage drama

Rockstar Games has laid off 30-40 employees in the UK and Canada for allegedly leaking GTA 6 gameplay footage.
So, Rockstar Games is in the hot seat again. The gaming giant just confirmed the dismissal of 30 to 40 employees across its UK and Canadian studios. The reason? They allegedly leaked sensitive GTA 6 gameplay footage. Yeah, you read that right: GTA 6, the game we’ve all been dying to play for years. According to Rockstar, these employees broke confidentiality by sharing information on public forums. Ouch. Meanwhile, American gamers are eagerly awaiting more updates as the tension around the game builds.
Did Rockstar just try to stop a revolution
Here’s the real plot twist: The Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) is calling foul. They argue the terminations were actually a sneaky move to "union bust," claiming that the employees were part of a private Discord group discussing labor rights. So, was Rockstar just trying to protect their precious GTA 6 leaks? Or were they more concerned with squashing potential unionization efforts? You decide.
Leaked GTA 6 footage: The drama unfolds

It’s no surprise the studio’s on high alert now, with GTA 6 still being one of the most anticipated games in history.
Fans are holding their breath for more. Will Rockstar reveal GTA 6 missions or offer a glimpse at GTA 6 beta gameplay anytime soon?
