After recent news and criticisms of Rockstar Games firing over 30 to 40 employees and claims of the company trying to union bust, a Spokesperson for Rockstar has made an official statement. In a recent Bloomberg report, a spokesperson said the employees were actually “distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum.” This would mean the employees may have been found to be leaking information about the company’s upcoming title Grand Theft Auto 6. The spokesperson also addressed claims that firing those employees were due to union busting. “This was in no way related to people’s right to join a union or engage in union activities,” they added.

Synopsis
Vice City, USA.
Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida—forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.
Jason and Lucia
Jason Duval
Jason wants an easy life, but things just keep getting harder.
Jason grew up around grifters and crooks. After a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he found himself in the Keys doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners. It might be time to try something new.
“If anything happens, I’m right behind you. Another day in paradise, right?”
Meeting Lucia could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him. Jason knows how he’d like it to turn out, but right now, it’s hard to tell.
Lucia Caminos
Lucia’s father taught her to fight as soon as she could walk.
Life has been coming at her swinging ever since. Fighting for her family landed her in the Leonida Penitentiary. Sheer luck got her out. Lucia’s learned her lesson—only smart moves from here.
More than anything, Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City—but instead of half-baked fantasies, Lucia is prepared to take matters into her own hands.
“The only thing that matters is who you know and what you got.”
Fresh out of prison and ready to change the odds in her favor, Lucia’s committed to her plan—no matter what it takes.
A life with Jason could be her way out.
