Ex-Rockstar employees involved in past workplace disputes have urged fans to support GTA 6 at launch despite ongoing calls for a boycott over alleged unethical firing practices. In comments reported by notebookcheck.net, former staff members emphasized their desire for players to focus on the game itself rather than workplace controversies, stating they still want GTA 6 to succeed commercially and critically. The remarks come amid ongoing debates about labor practices in the gaming industry, with some advocates urging consumers to withhold support from Rockstar until transparency and accountability measures are addressed. While the developers did not specify details of past disputes, they reiterated their hope that fans prioritize the gaming experience. For players awaiting the Nov 19, 2026 launch, this public divide highlights the potential impact of consumer choices on the game’s reception and Rockstar’s reputation.
