Time to unionise!

This might be the impetus that was sadly needed, but the conditions are right. Turn those expressions of solidarity into meaningful reform and set a precedent for the industry. Also eat Bobby Kotick.

Can't remember if it was posted here or not, but apparently Ubisoft have also had their employees signing a letter calling for wide-spread industry change. So hopefully more than literally nothing happens this time.

TLDR - They represented swiss banks accused of profiting from the Holocaust, German businesses accused of exploiting forced labor during the Nazi regime and more recently were the ones who helped Amazon beat the pro-union elements within their workforce.

I don't think I've ever encountered an entity so purely dedicated to the pursuit of evil.

Ah, yes, the "literally nothing" outcome. As expected, truth be told.

A source who has since departed Blizzard talked about how the room designated for breastfeeding didn’t have locks. “Men would walk into the breastfeeding room. There was no way to lock the door. They would just stare and I would have to scream at them to leave.” IGN understands that breastfeeding rooms have since been updated, with locks added to doors.

I don't know what the young people play these days. Fortnite? CoD? Some sort of Candy Crush battle royale mode?
