Abstract
This Comment finds support for industry-wide unionization by comparing successful examples of collective bargaining and unions to the current state of the video game industry. Specifically, this Comment highlights the significant effects of the recent Activision lawsuits, Joe Biden’s pro-labor administration, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite past failures, these new circumstances and widespread support can inspire employee action to finally achieve the labor rights the industry deserves.
