We've heard from a few folks that they're not seeing the question about union membership when filling out the GDC survey. A common thread seems that folks are self-reporting as currently unemployed. Friendly reminder: UVW-CWA is a direct-join union, one you can belong to even between jobs!

it's easy to be detached while doing the work on this fund, but seeing a tangible result from it hit me right in the feels

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

This Chet Faliszek guy who keeps concern trolling about the union's "messaging" is a CEO and an employer btw. He's doing the thing where he pretends to speak for "game developers" as a whole as if the difference between bosses and workers doesn't matter, but it's 2026 nobody buys this shit anymore

found out my daily driver lotion has alpha htdroxy acid in it, which apparently increases your skin's sensitivity to UV light 💀 this isn't really a problem, since i don't go outside, but... it could have been?? also, the key to good skin + looking young is really being a vampire, huh?

I'm so happy to post this art I made for ladydaylily (tumbler) for the #SoPFFOExchange. Drawing Sarah always brings me joy! - To tão feliz de postar esta arte que fiz para o amigo oculto de #StrangerOfParadise. Desenhar a Sarah sempre me traz alegria! #BRArt #SoPFFO #FinalFantasy
An illustration of Princess Sarah, from Stranger of Paradise. She's a young lady with curly blonde hair, she wears a beautiful dress and a tiara wih a veil (almost looking like a bride.) Sarah is playing her lute, looking upwards with a hopeful smile. Behind her is a circular frame/window featuring Jack's profile, which seems like he's looking at her. 

The piece is heavily inspired by Alphons Mucha posters and has a pallet which I'm not very used to work with, but it was a fun challenge.

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

The Avarice Awards holds a mirror to the hollow glamour of The Game Awards, as workers continue to have their livelihoods upended by mass layoffs. We are speaking truth to the powers ruining the game industry with their greed! Stream begins on December 10th at 7pm PT / 10pm ET on twitch.tv/UVW_CWA

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
 
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

This past weekend, as hundreds of game workers flew into LA to attend Summer Game Fest, Immigration and Customs Enforcement terrorized the Los Angeles community, raiding neighborhoods, separating families, assaulting citizens, and detaining SEIU President David Huerta.

Many of us in the game industry call Los Angeles our home, and we feel these attacks on a deep and personal level. United Videogame Workers-CWA stands in solidarity with SEIU, UNITE HERE, United Farm Workers, SAG-AFTRA, The Animation Guild, IATSE, and all our fellow unions and organizations condemning these ongoing federal raids targeting workers.

We are thrilled that David has been released and echo SEIU’s calls to drop his unjust charges and for ICE to immediately end their violent raids against us and our neighbors.

The United States is built on the backs of immigrant workers, documented or otherwise, and the Trump administration’s racist and violent oppression serves only to undermine our labor and strike fear in our communities. As workers of an anti-racist union; as workers with H-1B visas; as workers with immigrant families and friends and colleagues; we condemn these abhorrent acts of outright fascism and colonial subjugation.

Our game industry is a deeply international one, and our art is built from cultures and perspectives that simply cannot and will not be contained by borders. UVW-CWA exists to protect all game workers across the US and Canada, regardless of immigration status, and we strive to extend that reach to all corners of the globe through connections and shared struggle.

When solidarity transcends nations, no human is illegal!

TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION

“Slip the switch” by flipping it while the trolley’s front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

We at United Videogame Workers-CWA condemn the studio closure of Cliffhanger Games by Electronic Arts. 

In an industry that generated over $450 billion and padded EA CEO Andrew Wilson's pockets to the tune of $25.6 million in total compensation in the year 2024, workers should not have to be subjected to this dehumanizing treatment. 

These hardworking families and industry veterans must now scramble to find new work during a time of increasing economic volatility, while the game that they worked hard on will never see the light of day. 

And for what purpose? For EA to be able to write off the cost of the studio and game production as a "business loss" on their taxes and make their stock prices go up. Making this disastrous decision following EA's previously announced RTO policies and commitment to DEI is an insult to injury to those already trying to stay afloat in the industry, particularly to the disabled, those with families, and Black and brown game workers. 

We as workers and the players who stand with us in solidarity deserve better and demand better.
