Game Developers Unionize?

Posted by Zonk on from the power-to-the-pixel-pushers dept.

Gamasutra.com has a look at the reasons, both pro and con, for unionization of the folks behind the entertainment software industry. From the article: "Many industry observers see close parallels between the gripes of today's game developers and those of workers in the movie industry in the 1930s and '40s, particularly in the animation segment. The difference is that Hollywood unionized, and the game industry is still only talking about it."

    "One of the most absurdly anti-union companies in the US at the moment is Wal*Mart."

    Anti-union meaning: unlike Costco, Wal-Mart does not force its workers to give money to unions? Wal-Mart workers are free to give or not give money to the unions.
