Our statement concerning the decision to not grant interim pay relief to the member's fired by Rockstar. We remain confident in the strength of our case against Rockstar Games and we reiterate our firm belief that Rockstar broke the law when it summarily dismissed 31 union members.
Workers protest outside Rockstar North in Edinburgh on Friday January 9th.

We are not backing down. Our response to @rockstargames.com's latest statement.
Rockstar’s latest statement is littered with falsehoods and disinformation - they have given multiple, conflicting reasons to explain why the workers were fired, as if attempting to reverse engineer a rationale for the dismissals.

Once again, they have chosen to mischaracterise workers speaking about their working conditions in a private forum as “leaking information”. It is hard to understand this statement as anything but a desperate attempt to deflect from the global scrutiny they have come under over the last month. 

From the UK Prime Minister in the House of Commons, to the game developers across the world erupting in protest - all eyes are on Rockstar and their lawless attack on the people who make them their billions.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

Did you know it's legal to say "an Elbit arms manufacturing plant in Bristol has closed its doors after months of targeting from Palestine Action". But it'd ILLEGAL to follow that with "what incredible work from those heroes". That'd be an offence under the Terrorism Act of 2000. Don't say that!

The load-bearing myth at the heart of UK politics is that the politicians and media are tolerant and decent and working people are knuckle-dragging bigots, but it's actually completely the other way around.

hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Mal, a freelance illustrator from Scotland! I love fantasy, folklore, strange creatures and warm colours 🍄🌾 please do reach out if you're interested in commissions or freelance work—I'll illustrate just about anything you'd like! 🌳 mallaichte.com 📮 hello@mallaichte.com
An illustration depicting the Warrior of Light, the hero of Final Fantasy XIV, against a backdrop of prominent locations from each of the games expansions. The Warriors features are vague - they are clad in a dark cloak, riding a chocobo across a grassy hill. Beyond the hill rise the spires of the city of Ishgard, the walls of Ala Mhigo, the city of Kugane, the plains of the Azim Steppe, the lofty Crystal Tower, and the spiralling architecture of Amaurot. The moon looms large in the sky, and the scene is bordered with a golden frame detailed with friends and foes (mostly foes) from the Warriors journey.An illustration of a scene in the woods at night, of masked, goat-legged figures dancing in a circle around a man emerging from a bonfire in the centre. A gold frame surrounds the scene, and outside of that are vignettes of masked, bearded faces smiling, a dagger cutting hair, an upended chalice pouring white gel on to a bare shoulder, and tree branches covering a persons chest in the shape of common top surgery scars.An illustration of Estinien from Final Fantasy XIV. He's an Elezen (elf-like person) clad in black spiked dragoon armour, with his long white hair whipping around his face as he grips his spear, plunging it into the open maw of a dragon.An illustration of the main cast of companions from Baldur's Gate 3 - Lae'zel, Karlach, Wyll, Shadowheart, Astarion, Gale, and the dog Scratch - in battle-ready poses with their weapons drawn. A mass of writhing purple tentacles looms ominously above them.
