Blizzard’s Platform & Technology workers vote to unionize
October 17, 2025 // Early today, over 400 staff from the company's Platform and Technology department – including designers, engineers, QA testers, localization teams, and workers on Battle.net – voted to join several other Blizzard divisions to unionize. Microsoft has reportedly recognized the union. As reported by GameDeveloper, organizing committee members Daniel Weltz, Alex Kohn, and Timothy Biley decided to unionize following the departure of colleagues because of low pay or redundancies, stating "workplaces will now have to offer certain things in order to remain competitive to workers."
