Quake and Doom Video Game Developers Join CWA

Video game workers at the company behind the popular franchises Quake and Doom voted to join CWA last week. The 165 workers at Microsoft subsidiary id Software will be members of CWA Local 6215 in Richardson, Texas.

“The union is a way for us, the developers, to take back control of the industry we love and to ensure that it delivers high-quality products from high-quality workers who have health benefits and longevity beyond quarterly profits,” said CWA Local 6215 organizing committee member and id Software Producer Andrew Willis.

“Texas has emerged as a force in building collective power for video game and tech workers across the state and across the industry,” said CWA Local 6215 President Ron Swaggerty. “We look forward to sitting across the table from Microsoft to negotiate a contract that reflects the skill, creativity, and dedication these workers bring to every project.”

There are now over 3,800 CWA-represented video game workers at Microsoft.
