    A manager at video game developer Blizzard Entertainment said he was ousted after refusing to give a low evaluation to an employee that he felt didn’t deserve it in order to fill a quota.

    During its first day of bargaining with Activision Blizzard, the Game Workers Alliance allege that the game publisher made several ridiculous demands while failing to offer anything to the union in return. According to the GWA, Activision Blizzard allegedly wouldn’t even attend the bargaining meeting unless the union paid for its workers’ missed time, which it did in a “show of good faith.”

      coup dur pour le syndicalisme en grandes entreprises

      La lutte contre les syndicats de salariés semble en effet extrême dans les entreprises étatsuniennes. Néanmoins, je suis peu cet aspect dans sa globalité.

      Pour ce qui est du syndicalisme à Activision-Blizzard, l’entreprise semble user de tous les stratagèmes pour empêcher la création du syndicat (c’est raté, donc), ou encore de rendre la vie des salariés syndiqués difficile (gel des salaires), ou encore, ici, de mener les négociations dans une impasse (en faisant des propositions punitives à l’égard du syndicat.)

      Je n’ai pas l’habitude des syndicats, qu’ils soient français ou américains. Cependant, j’y vois, certes, naïvement, la volonté des salariés de travailler de manière plus efficace. Certes, sous l’angle des salariés, en complément de celui de la direction des entreprises.

    Activision Blizzard illegally withheld raises from unionizing workers, labor board finds | TechCrunch

    Gaming giant Activision Blizzard unlawfully retaliated against workers at Raven Software who formed a union, the National Labor Relations Board found.

    The quality assurance (QA) department at subsidiary Raven Software, who mostly work on “Call of Duty,” announced that they would form a union in January. Activision Blizzard sought to block the union, reasoning that the union only comprises the 28-employee QA department, while as a whole, Raven Software has around 230 employees. Regardless, the Raven Software QA testers, who operate under the name Game Workers Alliance (GWA), made history in May when their union vote passed 19-3. Now, the GWA is the first officially recognized union at a major U.S. gaming company.

    While the GWA was in the process of unionizing, Activision Blizzard converted about 1,100 QA contractors to full-time staffers and increased the minimum wage to $20 per hour. But workers at Raven Software, who are among the lowest paid in the studio, were denied these wage increases. Activision Blizzard claimed that, due to laws under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the company wasn’t allowed to change the pay rate of its employees in the midst of a union effort. The Communication Workers of America, which represents the union, said that this was a disingenuous attempt at union busting.

    Blizzard Albany, formerly Vicarious Visions, gets union vote greenlight - The Washington Post
    ▻https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/10/18/blizzard-albany-nlrb-union-vote

    In a Tuesday decision, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled that a group of 21 quality assurance testers at Blizzard Albany, formerly Vicarious Visions, could vote in a union election.

    Testers at Blizzard Albany argued in front of the board in August that they should be allowed to form a union on their own. Parent company Activision Blizzard countered that a broader number of workers — 88 employees at the Blizzard Albany studio working on Diablo games — should get to vote in the union.

    Labor experts have told The Washington Post that companies often seek to increase the size of the bargaining unit so that chances of a union vote succeeding are lower.

    Bayonetta actor Hellena Taylor claims sequel pay offer was «insulting»
    ▻https://www.gamedeveloper.com/console/-i-bayonetta-i-actor-hellena-taylor-claims-platinum-offered-insulting

    https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/blt95b381df7c12c15d/blt1c9623699554b55b/62cf199f877f50700eeffa1e/bayonetta3featured.jpg

    Hellena Taylor, the English voice actor for PlatinumGames’ Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2, has called for players to boycott the upcoming Bayonetta 3. Over the weekend, Taylor released a series of videos alleging that she was offered low pay to voice the character that she’s been playing since 2009. 

    While video game franchises have recast characters in the past, Taylor actively calling on fans of the franchise to boycott the release of Bayonetta 3 is unusual. 

    In her videos, Taylor claims that she was offered $4,000 to return and play Bayonetta for the third game, whose trailers hint at multiple versions of the same character appearing in it. That amount of pay, while she acknowledged as being legal, was also "immoral." 

    “The Bayonetta franchise made approximately $450 million. That’s not including merchandise,” said Taylor. "This is an insult to me [and] the amount of time that I took to work on my talent and everything I’ve given to this game and to the fans.”

    In Bayonetta 3, the titular character will be voiced by Jennifer Hale, whose career includes Mass Effect and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Platinum explained to Game Informer earlier in the month that Hale’s casting was due to “various overlapping circumstances.”

    […]

    As reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, PlatinumGames was reportedly fully prepared to bring Taylor back as Bayonetta. The initial plan, according to sources, was that Taylor would be paid $3,0000-4,000 for at least five four-hour recording sessions and a total of nearly $15,000.

    Taylor allegedly asked for a six-figure sum in response, along with residual pay for after the game’s release. When Platinum declined that offer, negotiations ensued, and the search for a new voice actor began after said negotiations broke down. The developers later offered Taylor a cameo in the game for a fee of one session, which she similarly declined.

    Bayonetta 3 Voice Actor’s Pay Dispute Overshadows Nintendo Game - Bloomberg

    A pay dispute between the creator of a critically acclaimed video game series and its star voice actor reignited a long-simmering debate over wages in the industry. As is often the case in these sorts of disagreements, the details surrounding negotiations and casting for the upcoming game, Bayonetta 3, are more complicated than what has been portrayed publicly.

    PARIS — Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot tells Axios that company reform in the wake of workplace misconduct scandals, that demoralized employees and had some players talking boycott, “has been my main focus for the past two years.”

    Why it matters: Guillemot is testing the premise that a boss during bad times can also effectively deliver reform.

    Video Game Executive Faces Backlash Over Comments About Crunch - Bloomberg

    In the 1990s and early 2000s, video games were created by brute force. Lots of people put many hours of hard work into design and code, sacrificing nights and weekends (and often their families) for art. Since then, the industry has become more professional. Crunch — an industry term for excessive overtime — is still persistent but is less tolerated, and companies such as Electronic Arts Inc. and Rockstar Games have made efforts to improve work-life balance for their employees.

    A new worker complaint to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) alleges that Activision Blizzard has been illegally surveilling its employees. […]

    In response to accusations of illegal surveillance, an Activision Blizzard spokesperson said that “Recent employee walkouts have frequently been attended by reporters seeking comment from not only the participants but the company itself. We routinely have PR staff on-site, at a respectful distance from employees on strike, to assist media.”

    Ashraf Ismail, former top developer on Assassin’s Creed games for Ubisoft before his dismissal from the company in mid-2020, was hired last year to help lead development on a game at Tencent, Axios has learned.

    Why it matters: The new role amounts to a second chance for a developer whose fall from Ubisoft amid allegations of abusing his power was part of the MeToo reckoning in the game industry two years ago.

    GTA 6 Release Date : Rockstar Cleans Up Image After Employee Backlash - Bloomberg

    https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/ioo_LslMdHOo/v0/1200x752.jpg

    Since that outcry, Rockstar has attempted to reinvent itself as a more progressive and compassionate workplace, according to interviews with more than 20 people who work there or left recently, all of whom requested anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. One employee described it as “a boys’ club transformed into a real company.” A spokesman for Rockstar declined to comment.

    Can a kinder, gentler Rockstar still produce the chart-topping caliber of game the studio has become known for? Some employees aren’t sure. Morale across the company is higher than it’s ever been, according to many staffers. But the development of Grand Theft Auto VI has been slower than impatient fans and even longtime employees have expected.

    Much of that has to do with the pandemic, but the delay is also due to some of the changes that the company implemented in an effort to improve working conditions, such as a restructuring of the design department and a pledge to keep overtime under control. Some workers say they’re still trying to figure out how to make games at this new iteration of Rockstar and wonder even what a Grand Theft Auto game looks like in today’s environment. Besides, several Rockstar employees pointed out that you can’t really satirize today’s America — it’s already a satire of itself.

    GTA VI, c’est pour bientôt ? Les joueurs vont encore devoir prendre leur mal en patience. Une enquête de l’agence de presse Bloomberg publiée ce mercredi permet d’en savoir plus sur la date de sortie du tant attendu sixième opus de la série Grand Theft Auto, l’une des plus populaires de l’industrie du jeu vidéo. Le titre pourrait être mis en vente au cours de l’année fiscale 2024 de l’éditeur Take-Two, soit entre avril 2023 à mars 2024. Il va donc s’écouler plus de dix ans entre la sortie de GTA VI et celle de son prédecesseur GTA V, paru en 2013.

Immutable is credited with “pioneering the world’s first blockbuster NFT trading-card game” in Gods Unchained. It has also been involved with the development of upcoming mobile action-RPG, Guild of Guardians. 

    In March, Immutable X partnered with retailer GameStop to establish a $100 million fund in Immutable tokens to assist those looking to create NFT technology and content. GameStop recently launched its own NFT marketplace, which came under fire when it had to remove an NFT referencing a man who fell to his death during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks from its marketplace.

    NFTs are trying to make a place for themselves in gaming Right now, numerous NFT and blockchain companies are trying to push into the mainstream video game market, while some developers and publishers have also flirted with the controversial technology.

    Activision Blizzard workers walk out, protesting loss of abortion rights - The Washington Post
    ▻https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/07/21/activision-blizzard-roe-walkout

    Hundreds of Activision Blizzard employees are walking out Thursday in Texas, California, Minnesota and New York to protest the overturn of Roe v. Wade and demand protections. The current count, as of this writing, is 450 employees, in-person and online.

    The demands include a request for all workers to have the right to work remotely, and for workers living in “locations passing discriminatory legislation,” such as antiabortion laws, to be offered relocation assistance to a different state or country. Employees are also demanding the company sign a labor-neutrality agreement to respect the rights of workers to join a union; on Twitter, the workers’ group A Better ABK said the demand was necessitated by union-busting efforts on the part of Activision Blizzard.

    In light of the recent attacks on the civil liberties of our employees, the employee-led Committee Against Sex and Gender Discrimination has scheduled a walk out action on July 21st, 2022 (1/17)

    Today, we announce a new union at Activision Blizzard.

    QA is currently an undervalued discipline in the games and software industries. We strive to foster work environments where we are respected and compensated for our essential role in the development process. 1/5

    We, the QA testers of Blizzard Albany are committed to fostering an open, diverse & equitable workplace. We demand an environment where our skills, ideals, & democratic decisions are valued and respected. To that end, we have organized with @CWAUnion to form our union. 2/5

    We created our union to empower ourselves & secure the following:
    – Competitive & fair compensation, pay transparency, better benefits & improved health care coverage
    – Address disparities in titles and compensation to accurately recognize our contributions & responsibilities 3/5

    –Establish transparent processes & lines of communication for addressing all workplace issues, including misconduct and retaliation.
    – Improve the work-life balance of our workers, including establishing reasonable protocols to address demands of “crunch” time

    And more... 4/5

    We at Blizzard Albany pride ourselves on our craft and our culture. With a union, we will finally have a seat at the table for negotiating our futures. We ask that @ATVI_AB voluntarily recognize our union & respect our right to organize without retaliation or interference. 5/5

    Un nouveau studio d’Activision Blizzard se syndicalise (via Game Workers Alliance, un syndicat de salariés). Comme précédemment, il s’agit du département d’assurance qualité (aka « testeurs »). C’est typiquement le département dans les jeux vidéo où il y a le plus de précarité, où les salaires sont parmi les plus bas, et où le recours massif aux heures supplémentaires (« crunch ») est le plus épuisant.

    Nintendo now provides benefits for Japanese employees in same-sex marriages

    In March 2021, [Nintendo] began providing equal benefits for employees in domestic partnerships with a person of the same sex, meaning that said employees now receive the same support that are given to employees in heterosexual marriages.

    Augmented reality game market growth might be stalling
    ▻https://www.gamedeveloper.com/extended-reality/ar-game-market-growth-might-be-stalling

    https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/blt95b381df7c12c15d/blteaab501fec370928/62bf397e759d5158dd38e06a/pokemongostarlyfeatured.jpg

    News of layoffs and cancelled game projects at Niantic this week stunned the game development world. For years, the Ingress and Pokémon Go developer has been acquiring companies, launching new games like Harry Potter: Wizards Unite and announcing new titles like Transformers Heavy Metal, Peridot, and NBA All-World.

    But layoffs, cost cutting and game cancellation may show that the titanic success of Pokémon Go is slowing down, or at the very least, isn’t easily translatable to other game brands. And if it’s not working well for Niantic, how might the rest of the AR game world be holding up?

    Il semblerait que le marché de la réalité augmentée soit en train de s’essouffler, au point qu’on se demande s’il ne s’agit pas d’un marché à un unique succès à la fois, en l’occurrence, Pokémon Go de Niantic, que personne ne semble savoir égaler.

    Sources: Unity Laying Off Hundreds Of Staffers [Update]
    ▻https://kotaku.com/sources-unity-laying-off-hundreds-of-staffers-1849125482

    https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/c_fill,f_auto,fl_progressive,g_center,h_675,pg_1,q_80,w_1200/1a3992b258311c213ba1ba7963b44058.gif

    Layoffs have afflicted Unity’s offices across the globe. Sources tell Kotaku that pretty much every corner of the company has taken some sort of hit, though there’s a concentration in the AI and engineering departments. On Blind, the anonymous messaging board commonly used by employees in the tech industry, Unity staffers say that roughly 300 or 400 people have been let go, and that layoffs are still ongoing. Kotaku’s sources have said the same.
