  Good for them! While I don’t think unionization makes sense in all industries, game development is arguably a good fit for a collaborative approach to labour relations.

  Complete tangent, but does anyone else find it strange that a gaming news site doesn’t use id Software in the headline? If you’re into video games, one would think you’ve heard about id Software; they basically created the modern FPS genre. That being said, I might be showing my age here and id Software was a much bigger deal (on a relative basis) in the 90s and 2000s.

    Out of curiosity, which industries should not unionize?

      Arguably the professional services industry (e.g. consulting, investment banking) isn’t a good fit for unionization. These aren’t verticals, but professions, but things like executive management and B2B sales also don’t seem like a good fit for unionization.

      At the end of the day, in B2B sales all that matters is how much revenue you generate and it’s not like there is defined functional skillset for B2B sales that allows for “scale economies” in collective representation model.
