🗡️The Greedfall II Developers' Strike Yields Results🛡️
Developers of Greedfall II from Spiders Studio went on strike before the early access launch of the game, resulting in a salary increase.
43 out of 95 employees signed an open letter, published by the Stjv union, highlighting issues such as low pay, neglect of workplace safety, lack of career growth, and high turnover. Despite attempts to negotiate since November 2023, management continued to ignore the concerns.
Following the strike, management agreed to raise the minimum salary by 11%, conduct a working conditions audit, and review remote work policies. However, the leadership expressed dissatisfaction with the public accusations, calling them defamatory and far from the reality of daily work life.
Strikes and union activity in game development are intensifying, underscoring the importance of collective efforts to fight for workers' rights.
