If this is a competition let’s keep it going please

Yet again, some good food. Following the news earlier this week that241 Bethesda Games Studios staffershad formed what was at the time the biggest wall-to-wall under Microsoft,The Vergereports that over 500World Of Warcraftdevelopers have voted to form their own union, alongside the Communication Workers of America (CWA).

The World Of Warcraft GameMakers Guild consists of workers from every department - hence ‘wall-to-wall’ - including designers, engineers, artists, and producers, across offices in California and Massachusetts. It’s now the second-largest union at Microsoft overall, after 600 Activision Blizzard QA workersformed a unionin March, despite the publisher’s history of attempting toshoot down similar efforts.

WOW quest designer Kathryn Friesen told The Verge “You can tell just by talking to people how much they care about one another and the work that they do in the game. I think that that’s where [the unionisation effort] comes from, the desire to stand together to fight for collective bargaining rights at the table.”
