Blizzard's Story and Franchise Development team has unionized with the Communications Workers of America following a successful union-authorization vote. This follows previous union efforts from the developers of World of Warcraft and Overwatch 2. Layoffs in the gaming industry have motivated this action, prompting team members to seek stability and fair policies through union representation. Recent job losses included members from the Warcraft Rumble mobile game and the departure of key management, as Blizzard considers expanding its media presence through more adaptations of its franchises.
"After more than a decade working at Blizzard, I've seen all the highs and lows. For years, Blizzard has been a place where people could build their careers and stay for decades, but that stability's been fading."
"With a union, we're able to preserve what makes this place special, secure real transparency in how decisions are made, and make sure policies are applied fairly to everyone."
