A UK employment tribunal has rejected Rockstar Games' request to remove 'blacklisting' allegations from an upcoming trial. The case stems from Rockstar firing 34 UK and Canada staff in October 2025 for alleged 'gross misconduct,' with the IWGB Game Workers union accusing the company of union-busting. Reports suggest the firings followed workers discussing internal Slack policies in a private Discord server. The trial is now set to run from September 10 to October 15, with fired workers and the union celebrating the ruling as a significant step toward accountability.
