More unionization happening
Last year, we saw the start of unionization in the video game industry after Activision Blizzard reportedly treated its employees so badly they walked out and began forming unions. Now things are growing faster and faster. QA testers at Blizzard Albany won their union vote, and 300 QA devs at Microsoft-owned Zenimax are also forming a union. As more and more people in the US join unions—just look at Starbucks Workers United as a prime example—it’s great to see game devs following suit. This industry has long needed unions and hopefully we get more in 2023 so fewer devs have to endlessly crunch for low pay for years and years.
