Builders at CD Projekt Purple—the Polish studio answerable for a trilogy of videogames a few employee who believes in negotiating a good worth for his labor and one sport set in a dystopian future the place company exploitation is the rule—have fashioned a union. The Polish Gamedev Staff Union (PGWU) is a part of the nationwide union OZZ Inicjatywa Pracownicza, and is open to builders who work for different studios in Poland.
“We began speaking about unionizing after the 2023 wave of layoffs”, the PGWU web site explains, referring to the firing of roughly 100 staff, or 9% of whole employees introduced again in July, which CEO Adam Kiciński described as being because of the “ongoing strategy of a number of deep transformations inside the studio”.
