Does the game development unionisation wave risk being smothered in the crib? | Opinion We begin 2026 with not one but two major stories about unionisation in the headlines; an omen, I suspect, of how much of the rest of the year is likely to turn out. Games industry unionisation has gathered steam in recent years after literally decades of being something of a punchline, but progress towards meaningful labour organisation remains slow. This year is likely to be a pivotal one in which those gains are tested against the stubbornly deep-rooted ideological resistance to the concept from many of the industry’s leaders. Read more

Ubisoft close the studio behind Assassin's Creed Rebellion days after the developers vote to unionise Ubisoft are closing Ubisoft Halifax, the Canadian developers of mobile games Rainbow Six Mobile and Assassin's Creed Rebellion. This is strictly speaking outside our mandate as a PC gaming site, of course - I fear smartphones like Hell itself, and only ever communicate over long distances using homing pigeons - but it's all part of Ubisoft's wider transformation into a heavily Tencent-backed publisher, and the nasty twist is that Ubisoft Halifax had only just voted to unionise.

The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6 YouTube video by People Make Games

Genuinely fuck Rockstar.

And while GTA 6 is too big to fail, this story cannot be shared enough.

We should all demand that the people developing the games we love are treated with respect.

Tesla The world's most highly-valued automaker has quickly become known as one of its most belligerent employers. Tesla's rapid market success has been outpaced only by the descent of its corporate leaders ...

#Musk is open in his opposition to trade unions, saying #unionisation creates “a lord and peasants sort of thing.”
He illegally threatened #Tesla workers planning to #unionise in #California with elimination of their company stock options, and called Swedish workers “insane” for striking.

#Japan's plight of low money wages & low #inflation is down to #unionisation levels next to zero and cultural aspects of total deference to the employer, no matter the level of #unemployment.
