    Funny how these devs think they have leverage here. They will be replaced by outsourced labour and the quality of product from them will plummet. Game devs thinking that unionizing is a good thing is beyond me. They must know that they are effectively replaceable pawns at these companies. It’s like if CSRs tried to unionize In north America. They would be replaced with ai and 3rd world labor faster than you can say manager.

      I’m one of those union organizers. Nice try, everything you said is bullshit. AQAU is the largest video game union in the country, and the 2nd largest tech union in North America. ZWU is 3rd. We can’t be replaced. We unionized because it was already happening. Now they have to bargain with us.
