At a recent conference for game developers, workers participated in roundtables to discuss ways to organize and increase worker power. Game Workers Unite is a group that emerged last year that is advocating for unionization in the game development industry. Workers who develop video games frequently work long hours without overtime, experience layoffs, and earn minimal wages while company executives take home millions. While white-collar activism has been increasing in the tech space, game developers may be the first group to organize due to their long hours and the prevalence of cyclical layoffs.
