According to a new report, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer will recognize the Raven Software QA workers union once the Activision-Blizzard deal goes through.

According to a report, Nintendo allegedly violated a workers' right to unionize, engaging in "coercive actions" to prevent the worker from taking action.

Following a seven week strike, employees at Activision owned studio Raven Software have asked leadership to voluntarily recognize their union.

A group of workers at Raven Software, the division of Activision responsible for QA on Call of Duty: Warzone, has officially announced its unionizing with the Communication Workers of America. The Game Workers Alliance has officially asked Activision Blizzard to voluntarily recognize the union at the Madison, Wisconsin-based development studio.
