That's pretty much true for any sector, not just the gaming industry. Too bad unions have such a bad image in the US and are difficult to establish (as the recent highly mediatized trial of Amazon workers showed all too well) On a side note, this also made me look up what games I have from Activision Blizzard. And the result is... almost none despite having been a gamer for over 30 years now. Seriously, the most recent game from Activision I own is Marvel's Ultimate Alliance on the Wii from 2006, the newest from Blizzard is from 2003 (WarCraft III). |
We had the Taft-Hartley Act introduced in 1947 and that was the beginning of the long-term, slow-motion decline in labor organizing in this country because it gave companies all sorts of new legal tools with which to discourage workers from organizing. That's only part of why we need the PRO Act in this country. Badly. Like seriously, I feel like I could benefit personally.
Anyway, yeah ain't that the truth. Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, Activision-Blizzard...I don't exactly view any of these companies as industry leaders in creative thinking in general these days. I think that's part of their problem here.
