    More need to do this. Laying off the studio that made hi fi rush should have been the first sign it was needed.

    Can’t unionize if you’re not an important workforce.

        Dragonflight has been an amazing breath of fresh air with how it’s been respecting players time compared to SL and BfA.

          I didn’t mind BfA too much. Shadowlands felt like a drag the entire time though. Definitely my least favorite expansion.

    Only a single game’s team and not even all of Blizzard? American unions are weird.
