6 months before the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar employees in the UK have formed a union

Rockstar Games terminated 31 employees in October 2025, with the dismissed workers claiming their firings were due to their efforts to unionize, a claim Rockstar denies, stating the terminations were due to the disclosure of unannounced game features. A new union, affiliated with the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB), has formed among Rockstar employees to advocate for the rights of the terminated workers and has initiated legal action against the company. The union is focusing on issues such as pay transparency, flexible working conditions, and an end to "crunch" culture. The IWGB is also raising funds for its legal case and aims to secure justice for the fired workers. Meanwhile, Take-Two Interactive has projected revenues exceeding billion for the 2027 fiscal year, largely due to the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6.

A Game That Hasn’t Even Launched Has Raised $1 Billion

On May 24, 2026, 'Star Citizen' surpassed ₩1.4 trillion (approximately billion) in cumulative crowdfunding, achieved entirely through fan support without publisher involvement. The game, developed by Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) since its Kickstarter launch in 2012, is still not officially released. It has raised ₩210 billion in 2025 alone, marking an all-time high for annual fundraising. 'Star Citizen' is recognized as the most expensive game ever made, with its crowdfunding amount being 3.8 times the production cost of 'GTA V' (₩370 billion). The game's revenue model includes the sale of in-game spacecraft, with prices ranging from tens of thousands to millions of won. Despite being in development for 14 years, the game continues to engage a growing community, with hundreds of thousands of players participating in its ongoing alpha state. The timeline for completion remains uncertain, with the single-player campaign 'Squadron 42' tentatively set for 2026 and the main multiplayer project suggested to be completed around 2028. Opinions on 'Star Citizen' are divided, with some viewing it as a scam due to its lengthy development and unfulfilled promises, while others see it as a cultural movement and a significant community-driven project.

Keep your GTA 6, the news I can finally play the console-exclusive DLC for Saints Row 2 from 2009 on PC is what I’ve been waiting for

In 2009, three DLC packs for Saints Row 2 were released: Ultor Exposed, Corporate Warfare, and the Unkut Pack. The first two DLCs focused on missions against the Ultor Corporation and added new vehicles, clothing, and a unique NPC homie voiced by Tera Patrick. The Unkut Pack, which included over 60 customization options, was only available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, leaving PC gamers without access to this content. The PC version of Saints Row 2 faced bugs and lacked certain features, such as the Balding Mullet hairstyle. Currently, players can enhance their experience with the Juiced Patch 9.0.0+, although some mods may have compatibility issues. To install the PC DLC, players need to download it and unzip it into the Saints Row 2 root directory.
