World of Warcraft’s 500+ person dev team votes to unionize

The developers behind Blizzard Entertainment’s World of Warcraft have officially voted to unionize. The World of Warcraft Game Makers Guild, or WoWGG, which includes the game’s developers, artists, engineers and more, is part of the Communication Workers of America (CWA).

Together, the 500-plus person team formed the first “wall-to-wall” union at the company rather than unionizing a single department. Prior to this, QA Testers at Activision’s Raven Software formed a union in 2022 and 600 QA testers at Activision Publishing unionized earlier this year.
