Read more600 Activision QA workers just formed the biggest videogame union in the US-
First reported by The Verge, 600 Activision QA workers have formed a new union at the publisher. It was organized through the Communications Workers of America (CWA), like other unions at the company, and this new union is now the largest in the American gaming industry, surpassing the 300-person Zenimax Workers United, a fellow CWA union at another Microsoft subsidiary.
Microsoft notably entered into a labor neutrality agreement with the CWA in 2022 as union organizing efforts across the industry, but especially at Activision Blizzard-owned studios, were getting into full swing. It was an important victory for the CWA, but also a strategic move by Microsoft in its years-long (and ultimately successful) campaign to seal the deal on its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizz…
Read moreCall of Duty- Black Ops 6 review
At some point when I wasn’t watching, Call of Duty’s campaign became a bad stealth game. Gone are the perspectives of the faceless and unknown soldiers and the grinding attrition of frontline warfare, replaced with characters who look and feel like they came from a Netflix Original movie chasing guys in polo shirts down European alleyways. When Black Ops 6’s campaign occasionally channels the bombastic scope of its predecessors, it rocks, but all too often it’s bogged down in tedious espionage.
I’m usually the CoD fan that actually cares a lot about the campaign, but it’s those shortcomings pushing me towards this year’s stellar multiplayer offerings. Black Ops 6 has lightning fast gunfights that leverage a wonderfully weighty new movement system to give old and new modes alike …
Read more‘I’m sorry you’re like this, I wish you weren’t’- Starfield voice actor reacts to console war discourse busting down his digital door-
Starfield is shaping up to be one of the biggest video game launches in years, with over six million people already digging into it. But as one of the few exclusive games on the calendar in the cooling war between console platforms (long ended, if you ask us), it’s not surprising that Starfield has sparked plenty of Xbox vs PlayStation discourse.
Caught in that comment crossfire was Elias Toufexis, voice of Starfield’s Sam Coe and the Deus Ex series’ Adam Jensen. Toufexis took to Twitter last week to vent about all the weird guys who were bugging him, and I was curious about how voice actors experience internet discourse like this. I reached out to Toufexis to talk about working on Starfield, as well as the behaviors a release like this seems to draw out of some gamers.…
