This summer, World of Warcraft and Bethesda Game Studios workers joined the growing number of video game developers organizing with Communications Workers of America. We spoke with some of the workers and organizers who have been unionizing the industry.

    It’s about damn time. That EA Widow post came out two decades ago. We’ve heard nothing but repeats of the same insane working conditions across dozens of major studios since then

      Yes! That’s how they can unionize now.

    Every day, I hear people at work complaining about mistreatment from management. Yet no one brings up unionizing for fear of reprisal. That shouldn’t be the case.

    Making a career change from an industry with several active unions (all of which continue to be proven as vital, even after over 100 years), into the tech industry in the mid-2010s, where there was no union and you’d hear horror stories (especially from the video game industry), I can’t help but feel like this was inevitable and I’ve been excited to watch it happen for almost 10 years. I hope it continues.
