En costume noir sur la scène de l’AccorHotels Arena à Bercy, Kamel Kebir exulte. Mardi 21 juin, ce Français de 26 ans, plus connu sous le pseudonyme de Kameto, a réuni 12 000 personnes autour d’un événement mettant à l’honneur ses équipes e-sportives de la Karmine Corp. Au programme : des affrontements sur les jeux vidéo Valorant et League of Legends (LoL), un spectacle en musique et en effets scéniques à l’américaine et, surtout, une ambiance explosive rarement observée dans l’e-sport français.

A highly unusual agreement means that workers may have an easier time forming unions at Activision Blizzard once Microsoft has finished its acquisition of the gaming giant.

Activision Blizzard will begin “good faith negotiations” with the Raven Software workers who unionized with help from media union Communications Workers of America (CWA) to strike up a collective bargaining agreement.

US labor board prosecutors determined that Activision Blizzard Inc. illegally threatened staff and enforced a social media policy that conflicts with workers’ rights, according to a government spokesperson. The finding is a setback for the company as it tries to fend off a unionization effort and finalize a $68.7 billion sale to Microsoft Corp.

An unnamed worker is alleging that Nintendo, and a firm it uses for hiring contractors, violated their legally protected right to unionize, according to a new filing with the National Labor Relations Board.

A union-busting complaint recently filed with the National Labor Relations Board accused Nintendo of America and contract worker agency Aston Carter of surveillance, retaliation, and other unfair labor practices. According to four sources familiar with the incident, that complaint, first reported by Axios, comes after a part-time employee spoke about unions in a business meeting and was later fired mid-contract. In an unprecedented move, others are now speaking up about feeling disrespected and exploited at the notoriously secretive Mario maker.

Driving the news: Current and former Nintendo contractors have been speaking up over the past three weeks, since Axios first reported a complaint filed with the National Labor Relations Board against Nintendo and a contracting firm.

Emotions are running high around the word “fetus” after last week’s news about the possible end to Roe V. Wade and women’s right to safe abortion.

F-E-T-U-S is also a five-letter word, so some people were more than a little surprised when it ended up as one of the answers to Monday’s Wordle.

The New York Times’ decision to change Monday’s Wordle answer is part of a long-running debate about how politically charged games should be.

Warzone dev says game is losing players over “insane” download sizes | Ars Technica
▻https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/03/warzone-dev-says-game-is-losing-players-over-insane-download-sizes

Asked about the possibility of adding the original Verdansk map to cycle alongside the game’s current Caldera map, Bridge said, “We want that. We all want that,” before addressing the “technical problem” that makes it difficult: “The install and re-install sizes are fucking insane, right? If we pulled out Caldera and say we’re gonna drop in Verdansk, this could be essentially re-downloading, like, the size of Warzone,” he said.

“And every time we’ve done that, we lose players,” Bridge continued. “Because you’re kind of like, ’I don’t want to re-download that,’ [so you] uninstall. I think you can’t fit anything else but Warzone on a base PS4.”

Bridge is exaggerating, but only a little. Activision says you need a whopping 175GB of hard drive space on PC for a Warzone install. On Xbox, the base download is listed at nearly 92GB, similar to the size on PlayStation systems. Adding Modern Warfare onto the Warzone package increases the total size to about 250GB on PC and 150GB on consoles.

Activision Blizzard doesn’t respond to Raven Software union recognition request by workers’ Tuesday deadline - The Washington Post
▻https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/01/25/activision-blizzard-doesnt-respond-raven-software-union-recognition-

Activision Blizzard did not respond to workers’ request for recognition of a union formed by quality assurance testers at Raven Software, the workers said Tuesday evening. Last week, 34 quality assurance workers seeking to unionize at Raven had set a deadline of 6 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday for a response from the software developer’s parent company and will now proceed to file for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

A group of Activision Blizzard employees calling itself the ABK Workers Alliance has rejected the company’s decision to employ the law firm WilmerHale to conduct a review of the company’s policies and procedures. In a letter shared with IGN, the group told CEO Bobby Kotick that his delayed response to employees following a lawsuit alleging widespread sexual harassment and discrimination at the company “did not meaningfully address” employee demands, and that WinterHale’s pre-existing relationship with Activision creates a conflict of interest that means it cannot conduct an impartial review.
