ZeniMax QA's union won some gains that were extended to us outside of that department even before they reached their final contract.

Later, our own path to unionization was made on a trail they blazed.

Ubisoft Halifax Office: We're unionized!

Ubisoft: Well fuck that. You're closed.

Every Other Ubisoft Employee: Of course you realize, this means war.

Bargaining is a long, slow process, but it’s worth it!

Rogue Trader is such a long game that it's the first RPG where I've made story decisions to let companions die just because I know I'll never have the time to talk to them. Sorry guys, I have a kid and a job.

Sadly no. It was a Religious Studies class, and was the university's most popular elective. The professor was a really cool lady. That's where I learned the name Theophrastus Bombastus von Hoenheim, a name I will never forget

Ooh that must have been interesting.

Interesting that I can only remember my weird and fun electives. Goes to show how useful a Communication degree is.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:
-Witchcraft, Wizardry and the Occult
-Video Production
-German Cinema
-Italian Cinema
-Canadian & Quebec Cinema

Laid-off Ubisoft workers rally, call on video game developer to reopen in Halifax - Halifax | Globalnews.ca A crowd of Ubisoft workers and supporters held a rally, urging the video game developer to reopen the studio that was closed earlier this month after a successful union drive.

All power to Ubisoft workers in Halifax, standing up for justice and accountability after the company shut down their workplace right after they unionized.

Ubisoft has taken nearly $1 billion in public subsidies. We need to be loud and clear: No tax dollars for union busters!

One of gaming’s little pleasures is arriving back to camp with your cool new NPC follower and getting to question them at length about their backstory.

If rich people want deregulation I say we start with rich people stuff. Yachts don’t need life jackets. You can put antifreeze in wine if a bottle costs more than $500. Mansions can use asbestos.

Imagine it. The Animal Farm animated movie comes out and makes bank. The studio immediately announces the George Orwell Cinematic Universe, the GOCU

Ubisoft is no more, long live Ubisoft! On January 21, 2026, Yves Guillemot announced the end of remote work, closure of several studios, cancellation of projects, and a new 200€ million “cost-cutting” plan. We were informed of this at the same time as the press — as none of these changes had been discussed during the mandatory consultations with the works councils a few days earlier! On January 26, 2026, management announced the implementation of a voluntary departure plan that will affect 200 people at Ubisoft’s headquarters. We are promised autonomy for « Creative Houses », but what about autonomy for employees? We have been negotiating for over a year on remote work policy, sometimes under difficult conditions. An agreement has been in place since September in some studios. Trampled underfoot! We are told about responsibilities, but those who wield this word so easily do not take any responsibility for the consequences of their catastrophic management.

We are not fooled: rather than taking financial responsibility for layoffs, they prefer to push us out by making our working conditions unbearable. It’s outrageous. It is because we love Ubisoft that this situation revolts us. Ubisoft’s unions are calling for a massive international strike by all Ubisoft employees on the 10th, 11th and 12th of February 2026. NO to their anti-remote-work obsession to “cost-cutting” plans on employees’ backs to top-down decisions to coercive control on our working conditions YES to our leaders truly taking their responsibilities to management’s duty of sincerity in the face of its failings It is time for our management to understand that they cannot do whatever they want, whether with public money or the work of hundreds of people! Without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games as it has. WE ARE UBISOFT.

🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft : enough is enough! Faced with the arbitrary decision of the CEO who doesn’t even dare talking to employees anymore, unions are calling for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th.

Please help us fight back against the closure of Ubisoft Halifax. Send a letter or join our Halifax rally!

French and international Ubisoft unions calling for a massive strike from February 10-12.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

“The neighbour’s doing that thing again…”

I can’t help but read “hold to rummage” like it rhymes with “mirage”

Hell yeah!

Very impressive. I mean, ideally this wouldn’t be necessary, but good job Minneapolis. So much organization, solidarity, mutual aid. It’s amazing.

Didn’t start the year expecting we’d see the first American general strike of our lifetime but here we are. And it’s still January.

A stranger who I’ll never meet again chided me over a small mistake I made which was immediately corrected. My day is ruined.

Oh wait no, I just checked. Alright. Hm.

I’m going to assume he’s not counting wind chill, out of respect.
