GTA 6 developers have raised concerns about workplace conditions, including allegations of excessive crunch hours, unfair compensation, and broader labor practices, according to RockstarINTEL. The claims, reportedly stemming from internal disputes, highlight tensions over workloads and pay during the game’s production. Rockstar Games has not publicly addressed the accusations.
