GTA fans have been on the edge of their seats at the rumours a new video is about to drop… Well the wait is over. We present: the public launch of the Rockstar IWGB Game Workers Union. Our platform, to tell our story. youtu.be/iLOq_6rOpoM

🏴🚩 Licenciements, liquidations, entraves… : appel national à la grève dans le jeu vidéo Notre industrie est au bord du gouffre, et subit sa pire crise sociale depuis plus de 20 ans. Le STJV appelle à une journée de grève mercredi 27 mai. www.stjv.fr/2026/05/...

As you're watching today's talks, here are some common themes to be thinking about, courtesy of Emma Kinema "I'd encourage us to be thinking about the need to form connection and solidarity across workplaces, disciplines, issues, and borders."

We're about to kick off Day 2 of the Game Worker's Conference in 10 minutes! Come join the stream here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e1y... Did you know--our intro animation was made entirely through union members volunteering their time?

WOTC and Hasbro can still voluntarily recognize our union at any point up to the NLRB election. We encourage you to sign our letter of support, and make your voice heard. cwa.org/uwotcletter

Instead of voluntarily recognizing our union, they've forced us into a redundant and drawn-out election process, rather than listening to the overwhelming majority of employees who signed our initial letter to management.

Since the announcement of our union, Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have hired Fisher Phillips (a union avoidance firm), and chosen to engage in a daily union-avoidance campaign by sending emails to the Arena team that is spreading misinformation and sowing fear among our colleagues. #uwotc-cwa

PANEL ANNOUNCEMENT📢 Alyssa Mercante Nathan Grayson Rebekah Valentine This panel discusses ways the games industry and games journalism exist in concert with each other, where they differ, and which events that directly impact games have also been impacting the journalists that cover them.

SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT 📢 Flávia Gasi & Fernando Henrique - Game Devs Unidos This talk from Game Devs Unidos (GDU), a collective of independent game devs in Brazil, provides an overview of their local video game sector, how its workers are faring, and the challenges of Brazilian class organization.

SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT📢 Aurelia Augusta - President, UVW-CWA Local 9433 GWC 2026 starts with a keynote from United Videogame Workers-CWA Local 9433 President Aurelia Augusta on why we need to move into a new era for game workers and how we can all work together to get there faster.

UBISOFT A l'occasion de l'audience qui se tient aujourd'hui, nous publions UBITRASH, une vidéo résumant l'affaire d'un point de vue syndicale : des conditions de travail dégradées et toxiques amenant la condamnation pénale de plusieurs cadres dirigeants. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MU-...

Who are we? We are #gamedev.s and other workers in the German #gamesindustry! What do we want? A #gamesindustry without mismanagement, crunch, underpayment and harassment. And now we have a website, so you can join us! ✊️ game-workers.de

Note that the workers who made Beast Breaker ARE getting rev-share on sales of the game on Steam, even though the studio shut down. Why? Because we had a union, and we negotiated for it.

Do you work in the games industry? Join us for the first Game Workers Conference, online May 22nd & 23rd ❤️✊🏽

Union workers send a message to game industry execs: 'Let go of the power now, or be forced to let go of it later.'

They will often burn everything to the ground before giving into worker demands, even if those demands would make them more money.

Solidarity with game workers in the US who this past week marched through GDC demanding a Game Workers' Bill of Rights. Video games are worker-made. It's time to organise and demand secure careers. Together we can build a sustainable industry. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...
