Rockstar Games employees who were recently terminated have called on fans not to boycott Grand Theft Auto VI, even as they continue to criticize the company’s treatment of workers.
The fired staff members are distinguishing between their grievances with Rockstar’s management and the game itself, asking the player community to separate the two issues. While they’ve voiced concerns about their own experiences at the studio, they’re stopping short of encouraging a boycott campaign against the upcoming title.
This statement reflects an effort by departing workers to avoid damaging the game’s reception while still holding the company accountable for its workplace practices. Their position suggests they don’t want player frustration with corporate decisions to impact the broader GTA VI launch.
For players awaiting November’s release, this indicates that behind-the-scenes tensions at Rockstar exist independently of the game’s development itself.
