There is always that one person who ruins the game for everyone, metaphorically speaking. Despicable behaviour.

Or Rockstar is simply lying to get rid of the union, most things here seem to be alleged only.

> Rockstar is simply lying to get rid of the union

How would Rockstar being shown to have had a mole in the union advance Rockstar's interests?

tacomagick•14m ago
Same reason why most companies don't want their workers to unionize?
JumpCrisscross•8m ago
In response to a comment about "that one person who ruins the game for everyone," a reference to the mole, you said "or Rockstar is simply lying to get rid of the union." That implies there wasn't a mole, Rockstar made it up.

I asked how making up a Rockstar mole in the union would advance any of Rockstar's goals at this junction.

Since this is from court filings, that would be perjury if they can't back it up.

That's classic game theory. It'd be better if everyone refuses to defect.

"At some point in this period, they go on, Rockstar management got hold of logins for the server, with Rockstar's vice president of information security Abid Ansari eventually signing in to download 'the contents of the Announcements and General channels'. Rockstar began firing members of the Discord at the end of the month."

Is this legal in the UK?

Sounds like a crime. They took credentials that was not theirs and used them to gain unauthorized access and then stole all the content.
