Rockstar Games reportedly terminated dozens of staff members for \u201cgross misconduct,\u201d accusing them of leaking company secrets. According to <em>Kotaku<\/em>, the dismissed developers are now organizing public protests and preparing for possible legal action if reinstatement is denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of these employees were part of a growing union movement at Rockstar\u2019s UK branch, which had reached over 10% participation \u2014 enough for legal recognition under UK labor laws.
