Rockstar HR questioned over Discord mole and timing of GTA 6 dev firings at labor tribunal

At an employment tribunal in Glasgow, Scotland, Rockstar Lincoln co-studio manager and HR director Charlie Kinloch was questioned over why the company fired over 30 employees in October 2025 despite having information from a Discord server for years. Rockstar says the firings were for gross misconduct including leaking GTA 6 development details, while the fired developers argue the company wanted to stop the UK union IWGB from gaining a foothold. The fired developers say an informant known as AB sent screenshots of union activity to Kinloch for over two years, and Rockstar announced GTA 6's delay from May 2026 to November 2026 days after the firings; the hearing continues next week and AB is not among the witnesses allowed to be questioned.
