    Great to hear! Way overdue. That industry really needs some of those protections.

    From the article …

    The launch will be formally announced at the 2025 Game Developer Conference in San Francisco, Calif., the world’s largest industry event for video game professionals, where workers will be joined by other CWA members to launch this powerful new organization.
