Former Rockstar employees who were laid off have spoken out against calls for a GTA 6 boycott. The workers emphasized their significant contributions to the project, stating they invested years of hard work, skill, and creativity into the game’s development. Rather than supporting a boycott in their name, they’re asking fans to recognize their efforts by enjoying the finished product.
The workers’ statement highlights the disconnect between corporate decisions and individual developer contributions. Their message underscores that boycotting the game wouldn’t benefit those who were let go, but would instead diminish the value of their work.
For players anticipating GTA 6’s November 2026 launch, this serves as a reminder that the game represents thousands of hours of labor from people across the studio, regardless of current employment status.
