Blizzard's Story and Franchise Development team has voted to unionize
Blizzard Entertainment's Story and Franchise Development (SFD) team has voted to unionize, becoming members of the Communication Workers of America (CWA). The SFD team is responsible for creating cinematics, animations, and narratives for Blizzard's game franchises, such as World of Warcraft and Overwatch. The union will comprise around 169 workers, including archival workers and historians. The decision to unionize was driven by a desire to preserve the company's culture, ensure transparency in decision-making, and apply policies fairly to all employees. This move is part of a growing trend of game developers seeking union representation, with other teams under Microsoft's umbrella, such as Activision's quality assurance workers and ZeniMax's QA team, also unionizing in recent months.
