While this may be true, if they manage to unionize they might lessen some of those negatives in the future, and I really hope for them that they'll pull through

- fermentation 5y agoThat’s exactly what I was thinking. This sounds more like an opportunity to finally make gamedev an appealing job.
- q1w2 5y agoUnlike large immovable factories, or big supply chain companies - game companies rise and fall in a market that is kill or be-killed. Any game company that unionizes will, in my opinion, have those studios shut down, and new ones open up in non-union environments. To be honest, even if Blizzard doesn't unionize, I imagine that the parent company is going to wind down the employees in the studio and move content elsewhere.
