GTA 6: delays, sackings and Scotland's gaming boom

Martin Geissler and Natalie Higgins hear about claims of “union-busting” at the firm behind the delayed Grand Theft Auto 6 and what it’s like to work in the gaming industry.

The release of Rockstar North's highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6 has been delayed (again).

The video game developer has denied claims of "union-busting" after 31 UK staff were sacked, sparking a protest outside the company’s Edinburgh HQ (pictured).

The Scottish Games Network's Brian Baglow, who worked on the first GTA, tells us what it’s like to work in the industry.
