Good for them. No one likes been ionized

Good.
Good for them! While I don’t think unionization makes sense in all industries, game development is arguably a good fit for a collaborative approach to labour relations.
Complete tangent, but does anyone else find it strange that a gaming news site doesn’t use id Software in the headline? If you’re into video games, one would think you’ve heard about id Software; they basically created the modern FPS genre. That being said, I might be showing my age here and id Software was a much bigger deal (on a relative basis) in the 90s and 2000s.
Out of curiosity, which industries should not unionize?
Arguably the professional services industry (e.g. consulting, investment banking) isn’t a good fit for unionization. These aren’t verticals, but professions, but things like executive management and B2B sales also don’t seem like a good fit for unionization.
At the end of the day, in B2B sales all that matters is how much revenue you generate and it’s not like there is defined functional skillset for B2B sales that allows for “scale economies” in collective representation model.
I had a hard time reading this comment. Could you rephrase it?
Are you saying that jobs that are paid by commission aren’t a good fit?
Consulting, investment banking are examples of industries that would not be a good fit for unionisation.
B2B sales, as a profession, irrespective of the industry in which these sales processes occur is not a good fit for unionisation.
Chemistry. Gets really dull without ions.
For a second I thought you were being serious and I started wondering whether you meant the chemical production industry or the chemical engineering profession…
But then I realized that it would be pretty dull without ions. :)
