Geez on the evidence they’ve shared here, Rockstar has so obviously fucked up.
The best piece of evidence in their favour is that employees discussed, in a space open to former employees and an external union representative, that the number of people allowed on leave at a time is heavily restricted because they need to be able to get 32 people together at once to test an online game feature. Rockstar claims this reveals information so sensitive their barrister wouldn’t even read that part out in court, only in written submissions. The idea of “an online service that can support at least 32 users” is TOP SECRET and worth insta-firing 33 people with no hearing, according to Rockstar. As the video points out, it really feels like they’ve trawled through the evidence to find a post-hoc justification for the firings.
rockstar is also releasing a marketplace (scam store essentially) where they will be stealing modders art, and selling it to the ones playing the games. I’m sure they will give a pittance to the actual modders… ya know, the ones doing the work and charging 1000% more per download or some shit.
rockstar can get fucked
