Bethesda Game Studios has unionized!

no official CWA press release yet, but here’s the union’s:

Workers at Bethesda Game Studios have joined the Communication Workers of America, forming the first wall-to-wall union at a Microsoft video game studio. The workers, consisting of 241 developers including artists, engineers, programmers and designers have either signed a union authorization card or indicated that they wanted union representation via an online portal. Microsoft has recognized the union.

I wonder if this will translate to higher quality games now that the people that actually make them have more control over their product?

Unionizing wouldn’t normally really give workers more control over the product, it’s about worker benefits, and management levels who direct product are usually excluded from participating in a union.

Good.

Kick management in the dick.

Damn good news. The video game industry is so predatory, they need unions just to try to have normal office schedules and stuff.
