Fired Rockstar workers urge fans not to boycott GTA6, sell tees to fund legal fight

Workers dismissed by Rockstar Games last autumn in what they call an alleged union-busting action asked fans not to boycott the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6. They encouraged supporters to buy a T-shirt to raise money for their legal challenge against the company. The appeal shifts public action from reducing game sales to directly funding the workers' court case and highlights ongoing labour tensions at Rockstar.

• A group of Rockstar employees were fired last autumn and describe the dismissals as an alleged union-busting move.
• The dismissed workers publicly asked fans not to participate in a GTA6 sales boycott ahead of the game's release.
• They launched a T-shirt fundraiser and asked supporters to buy shirts to help finance their legal battle against Rockstar.
• The campaign focuses community support on funding the plaintiffs' legal challenge rather than on affecting GTA6's commercial performance.
