Game Dev | More and more game studios appear to be considering unionization, according to a panel at GDC 2024, indicating that formerly hushed whispers about labor unions are becoming full-blown roars.
At GDC this year, the roar for unionization in the game industry is ever-increasing, dating back to the first serious talk about this type of organizing in 2018. Since that time, there has been both forward progress and frustrating stutters for large-scale unionization in the gaming industry, but a 2024 panel did not mince words from its title onwards: “Now is the Time! Workers are Ready to Form Unions.”
