Parts of Blizzard have unionized as well. Though I did see yesterday that nearly the entire iD Tech development team was let go. Which is a fuck ton larger thing than many people would assume at first.
Think of just about any major 3D engine, that isn’t automatically unreal or Unity. It likely has ties directly back to iD tech. Call of duty, half life and the entire source engine and so so many more. Though it’s branched a lot less since Bethesda took them over and now Microsoft. But if the team is gone and the engine is officially dead this is a massive thing.
