Because protected industrial action is not a right many (if any) American workers have; that’s why. Their employers hold them hostage via their paycheques.

At most developers, you usually get fired after you finished your job. That could be well before the product is even finished. It's hard to develop comdradaire when your job is so volitile

Literally 4 pages ago the thing you were unhappy about was the fact that no one would want to play WoW with you.
Where's your sacrifice? You're at your keyboard complaining that people aren't ready to ride or die and give up their jobs and you aren't even willing to give up your video game.
Not to mention the seemingly large amount of frustration that people weren't mobilizing in a time frame that was considered acceptable
Well, you see, other people giving up their livelihoods and possibly visiting ruination on their families is one thing. But him having to give up a video game? INJUSTICE!
Initial venting of ranting of frustration. I've always knew that a strike is necessary. And I was angry at the people that caused this whole problem to happen as in the people being investigated
Because of those Cosby group assholes that now I may never see a Wrath server for a long time if at all. This strike and lawsuit better get rid of them and make everything better for the innocent common worker.
After that who knows if it will eventually happen since its beyond my control

Indeed.

There's your problem - you need victims that are women, preferably attractive women before anyone really cares.
...and burning unrelated businesses to the ground within a day, with the first time a protester killed someone being on May 28, burning down a pawn shop with the victim inside. Maybe that's not what we should be expecting from Activision-Blizzard employees?
Which suggests to me that either 1) the allegations are not entirely accurate, 2) the things they should be demanding be done but haven't are already being promised to them and these demands are a reach beyond that, 3) they're just fools, or 4) the people making demands are not the people being affected and are trying to get things in line with their agenda instead. I figure 4 is the most likely, followed by 2.
Yeah. The more I've learned and thought on this the more I'm believing that this is something with a strong core of truth but that has been made to look way bigger than it actually is with padding and misinformation. I've been seeing conversations on the photo of the Cosby Room that have particularly felt like a deflating balloon.

Activision Blizzard Hires Union-Busting Firm As Workers Start To Come Together
WilmerHale will 'review' Activision Blizzard HR policies
kotaku.com
Blizzard is apparently hiring an Anti-Union firm in response to this.
That's what Chimpzee already posted no?Activision Blizzard Hires Union-Busting Firm As Workers Start To Come Together

Eh, yeah, Wilmerhale being a union buster is discussed in the second link I posted. Unless you meant to reply to someone else?Activision Blizzard Hires Union-Busting Firm As Workers Start To Come Together

He posted the link between the people involved. Not the actual hiring of the firm.
Did that article actually talking about directly hiriing? Ok my bad. It's so shitty though, it should be here twice
First article is about ActiBliz hiring Wilmerhale. Second one is about their union busting. The Amazon bit is more coincidental, but of course hiring the go-to intimidation goon squad for a company infamous for its union crushing is not a good look in and of itself. Tho probably the exact reason ActiBliz hired them.He posted the link between the people involved. Not the actual hiring of the firm.

Also, I agree, it is shitty, so twice is dandy. Only way they could look worse is if they hired the actual friggin Pinkertons.
Absolutely welcome the strike action. Absolutely welcome Ubisoft employees joining in in solidarity.
Fuck Bobby Kotick, fuck Yves Guillemot, and fuck Fran Townsend for that self-serving, dismissive bollocks she served up as a response to the allegations. It's worth noting that she's not just chief Compliance Officer-- she's also VP of "Corporate Affairs". I think we can be pretty sure where her priorities are between the two.
As if the fact that she hasn't experienced anything personally (as an exceptionally rich and powerful person within the company) is evidence that others (in much less powerful, much more precarious roles) didn't, either. That response was fucking despicable.
