If unions have a place anywhere, it's in the video game industry - especially with the 'crunch' where employees are treated like total crap.
Ever notice that the complaints about “crunch” just so happened to coincide with the “diversification” of development staff and a massive falloff in quality?
But are the complaints justified? It's not as if straight white men are fond of never seeing their families and sleeping at the office.

So they exploit the staff, deliver the product and get shit canned any. Develepors like EA and Ubisoft need to burn down
