Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
165 workers at id Software, the studio behind Doom and Quake, have voted to unionize under the Communication Workers of America (CWA), forming a 'wall-to-wall' union. This follows the 2023 unionization of 300 ZeniMax quality assurance staff and represents continued labor organizing within the video game industry, particularly at Microsoft-owned studios. The union covers various roles across the studio and aims to address workplace concerns through collective bargaining.
