Hello, my tech-savvy friends! It’s your favorite funny guy, Nuked, here to bring you some exciting news from the gaming world. Let’s dive into it!

In a groundbreaking move, over 200 talented developers at Bethesda Game Studios have officially joined forces and unionized! Known for their beloved franchises like The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, these creators are taking a significant step forward with the Communications Workers of America (CWA).

A total of 241 workers, encompassing artists, engineers, programmers, and designers, have signed union authorization cards or expressed their desire for union representation through an online portal. This information comes directly from a press release by the CWA.

In a show of support, Microsoft has acknowledged this new union. It’s worth noting that the company has previously recognized unions formed by QA workers at both Activision and ZeniMax Studios. According to Catalina Brennan-Gatica from the CWA, this marks a significant milestone as it’s the first wall-to-wall union at a Microsoft video game studio. This means that all eligible job titles will be represented, rather than just one specific group.

The Bethesda team will be represented by CWA Local 2108 in Maryland and CWA Local 6215 in Texas. As for Microsoft? They haven’t responded yet to requests for comments on this exciting development.

So there you have it! A new chapter is unfolding in the gaming industry, and it looks like Bethesda’s developers are leveling up in more ways than one. Stay tuned for more updates!
