The firing of several employees at the makers of the Grand Theft Auto video games came as a complete surprise, according to one of the Canadian workers who was let go this past fall. Thirty-one Rockstar employees working in the U.K. were fired the same day (new window). He called Rockstar's claims of the fired workers leaking confidential information patently false. They have not provided any proof for those claims, either for the Canadian workers or the U.K. workers, he said. The former Rockstar Toronto employee said that, ultimately, the fired workers both in Canada and the U.K. just want their jobs back.
