ok they deleted and reposted it for some reason but, reminder: this is a survey of GDC attendees only which self-selects for highly paid, senior devs and management
which is to say: this is most likely what a result skewed _against_ unionization looks like right now

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

We removed our post containing the original form in which we asked videogame workers to give your input on the Anti-Awards due to valid issues with names of some of the "anti-awards". We are working on that language now and will have the form back up soon. Thanks for understanding!

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

I really do think this is true.
Rockstar leadership deciding to fire 30+ union workers and the workers deciding to fight back is going to be something we look back on as a turning point for our unionization effort.
