    1. With the amount of profit they make and will make, this is just disgusting.. but sadly noone is going to care. So called ‘game journalists’ will barely cover this aswell.

    2. It seems like such a small amount that it has to be some sort of error in accounting, the negative PR wildly outweighs the monetary value. I’ll hold off on judgement like I did with the union busting allegations that seemed to have no evidence behind them.

      That’s unfortunate
      Still will be buying GTA6 day one

      Am I part of the problem? Possibly

    4. Read the article. They owe £1,396.73 to five staff members…

      No way this isn’t an accounting error, believe it or not errors and mistakes DO happen.

      In my opinion anyone working on the largest video game launch of our generation is going to be underpaid. The only ones getting paid are C suite executives.

    6. They made £87 million in profit, issued dividends of £85m and through a tax relief scheme saved £70m but avoided paying £1,300?

      “*They were confirmed to have not paid £1,396.73 to five staff members. That’s around £279.34 per person.*

      *Based on the address listed by the HMRC, the affected employees work at the lead GTA 6 office, Rockstar North.*”

    8. lol, so much fuss over £1,396.73 between 5 people. Do you guys seriously think this was done on purpose, at a company that spends tens of millions on salaries each month? Some intern f*cked up, and that’s it. Or it’s a salary dispute of some kind that is still in progress.

      I’m all for sh*tting on R* for their practices, this just isn’t it.

      Disgusting. Can’t even pay the people that brought billions in shark cards.

    10. they owe less than £300 to 5 different people. the title makes is seem like they were paying people $3 an hour or some shit. not sure why a billion company is withholding any amount of money from 5 employees though
