Game Changer: First Video Game Union Launched at GDC 2025!
During this week’s Game Developers Conference 2025, the first-ever North American video game union was unveiled – United Videogame Workers. In collaboration with Communications Workers of America, they aim to foster a sense of unity and camaraderie among video game workers while launching widespread education initiatives about labor organizing within the industry. This newly formed union, known as a direct-join organization, welcomes any video game professional from the United States or Canada, regardless of their job title or the status of their coworkers – whether they’re artists, writers, designers, QA testers, or programmers.
