The Rockstar Union Purge Four months after Rockstar Games fired dozens of union members, Rachel Crawford reflects on the workers’ struggles following the shocking dismissals.

I'm in awe of the Rockstar workers who've continuously fought back against their unjust firings by Rockstar.

Union workers take legal action against Build A Rocket Boy One union member said the studio's 'culture of secrecy and micromanaging' is one of the worst they've ever encountered.

NEW: IWGB union workers have taken legal action against MindsEye creator Build A Rocket Boy over alleged privacy violations.

Separate legal claims have also been filed against the studio accusing it of mishandling a redundancy process that took place last summer.

On this date in 1986, I met with Games Workshop about their plans to develop a Warhammer roleplaying game.

Over the next four years I developed and codified the Warhammer fantasy IP and co-created the acclaimed Enemy Within Campaign.

I'm available to consult on your game IP. Drop me a DM!
