Rockstar Games, the company behind the hit Grand Theft Auto franchise, said that the dozens of employees it fired last week were leaking company secrets, disputing allegations by labor leaders that it was disrupting workers' attempt to unionize.

Reports emerged last week that Rockstar Games had fired between 30 and 40 staff across its UK and Canada offices on October 30.

A workers' union said the employees were part of a private trade union chat group on Discord. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

A union representing people in the gaming sector said 31 people were fired at Rockstar's UK studios.

Rockstar Games has followed up last week's claims of 'gross misconduct', alleging that the 30+ employees fired were let go for leaking confidential information.

Rockstar has denied accusations that its recent firings were due to workers' attempt to unionize, and instead, they were because of employees leaking company secrets.
