A"supermajority" of workers voted to unionise,The testers work across ZeniMax Studios, which includes Dishonored developer Arkane, Skyrim maker Bethesda and Doom dev id Software. The testers are currently working on a raft of games, including 2023 Xbox exclusives Redfall and Starfield.
"Before us is an opportunity to make big changes and bring equity to the video game industry," Victoria Banos, senior QA audio tester, said."We want to put an end to sudden periods of crunch, unfair pay, and lack of growth opportunities within the company. Our union will push for truly competitive pay, better communication between management and workers, a clear path for those that want to progress their career, and more.
"It's difficult to express in words just how much winning our union matters to us," senior QA tester Dylan Burton said."We've been working so hard to get here that it would be impossible not to be excited. We know this is not the end of our hard work, but reaching this milestone gives us faith that when workers stand together, we can accomplish anything we set our minds to.
Four major video game unions have formed over the last year: the aforementioned union at ZeniMax, one at Call of Duty developer Raven, one at Blizzard and one at Spellbreak developer Proletariat, which is now owned by Blizzard. Thoughts now turn to the first union-negotiated contract for workers.Get your first month for £1 when you buy a Standard Eurogamer subscription.
