Monolith has made video games for thirty years. And it gets unceremoniously shuttered for what? A tax writeoff? To please shareholders?

Please read up about what unions are, how they work, and how they can benefit developers everywhere.

We're going to need to be a lot less stupid than we were last time about what the *purpose* of a union is. Devastated for Monolith. No One Lives Forever is always in my heart. 😭

As a consumer what can be done to help advance this mission? Is there a list of what publishers/devs will and more importantly will not work with unions?

I know this might sound silly or like a cop-out, but you can help us by organizing your own workplace into a union. And if you're already unionized, then get active in it and push for better working conditions.

If you win, we win.

I am willing to bet money they are doing this to make room in the budget for more Wizard School media tie ins.
