Days after losing a “friendly” race to Bethesda staff, over 500 World of Warcraft devs unionize at Blizzard: “Never happier to be outrun”

Just days after Bethesda Game Studios became the first Xbox division to form a “wall-to-wall” union, over 500 devs working on World of Warcraft have now done the same at Blizzard.

The WoW Gamemaker’s Guild announced its formation in partnership with the Communications Workers of America earlier today. “We’re the World of Warcraft Gamemakers Guild: the first wall-to-wall union at Blizzard,” the group says in a tweet. “We’re thrilled to include WoW’s QA, Art, Sound, Design, Engineering and Production voices for a democratized workplace. At this crucial moment in games, we stand together as one. For Azeroth!”
