Actually, traditionally unions have pretty much universally resulted in better quality products. Union made products usually are crafted by well-paid artisans who apprentice under masters of said craft.
See publicly traded companies only care about short term gains and maximum profit margin. They squeeze from every angle until everything sucks. Fire expensive experts with experience, outsource everything to the cheapest places, lower the quality of the materials, increase the price, milk every IP.
On the other side, union workers want to keep their jobs, and the best way to do that is to make sure people like their products.
They are not “perfect,” but they care about more than profit margins and short term gains.
I’m saying go look up ANY product made by co-ops or unions… whether it’s clothing like Thorogood Boots, or even fucking cheese and dairy makers like Tillamook, unions and employee-owned type outfits just literally make better products.
Hey just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your perspective. I know that unions result, in general, in better working conditions. However me as a customer not only supporting such companies, if I choose so, but also benefitting from better products in general is a nice perspective.
food for thought!

It would be nice if this improved the game or resulted in better games, but I won’t hold my breath.
You don’t have to speculate, my dude.

Did not know Tillamook was employee-owned. Their ice cream is great, now I have a reason to prioritize buying from them.

Ok. It’s nice that you believe that unionizing is guaranteed to make better products no matter what.
I still think it won’t improve the game as they’ve been listening to the wrong people for too long.
But hey, maybe they can make a new game that’s good.
Why are you arguing? You’ve stated your opinion, great we’ve heard it, but unfortunately it’s based on zero knowledge, so it’s worthless.
Who’s arguing? We’re agreeing to disagree.
It looks like you’re getting mad at me for disagreeing with you though. It’s ok for you to think what you want.
