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.

    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.

      Unions aren’t something that just happen to your workplace. Consider taking CODE’s free organizer training and make it happen.

    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
