EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

There’s this cliff face in the demo for Interstate ‘76 where if you hit it just right with your car it teleports you up to the top of the mesa.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

A lot of people seem worried about Valve's Gabecube not selling for $400, but the Asus Xbox handheld thingie is doing pretty well at $699+, so I bet this hasn't encouraged Valve to cut their price

I attended the protest outside of Rockstar North in Edinburgh this evening to stand in solidarity with the more than 30 workers across the UK, including a number of my constituents who have been sacked.

I think we can all see at this point that Rockstar firing 30+ workers in a union was an act of union busting, right?
They haven't told us a single thing that counters that narrative in any meaningful way.
