Since the other person came in and tried to act cool or something by only caring about how it affects them (or doesn't affect them?), I just want to put it out there that the OW team has been making lots of improvements to the game lately. The last patch added a new core game mode that has been pretty popular, along with a new hero, and they've reimplemented 6v6 which has been a complaint of a large portion of the playerbase since they went to 5v5 a few years ago.
So, contrary to that other person, I am happy for the OW team for unionizing, and I hope that Blizzard doesn't do anything to stifle the progress that they have been making lately because they have now unionized.
I don't care about Overwatch but I am happy for the devs and hope this leads to more unionization in the video game industry.
Yeah that's a very fair statement to make.
