Rockstar Games is currently at the center of a major labor dispute involving the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB). In this video, we break down the full timeline of events so far, including the initial employee dismissals, union response, legal action, and the wider impact this situation could have on the future of the gaming industry and worker organization within AAA development studios.
This is an ongoing story, and new developments continue to shape how the industry views labor rights, studio management, and unionization in game development.
