Game company sows misinformation to cover up union busting, fans fall for it, actual employee posts explaining the employees were fired to prevent the studio unionizing
This is *unacceptable*

This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI.
It was:
Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing.
it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.
