I should not need to explain this one.

It's a shame, I liked OW1, even with the tired meta and 6v6 more than I liked OW2.
The loot boxes weren't predatory, allowing unlocking of skins and content without spending anything extra was a nice balance in my opinion that I wish more games did.
They took OW1 and bastardized it, it deserves the rating it has. It used to be that new versions of games were better.
I for one am very interested to see the quality differences between worker owned game studios and corporate studios. But last I heard they had only just started unionizing.
And a programmer friend I talked to couldn’t comprehend why he would want to be in a union.
unions are a harder sell in an industry like tech where it's common to have a diverse skill set spanning work that could arguable each be it's own union. does a full stack dev have to join the database admin union before they can write sql queries?
those diverse skill sets also make the individual value of workers fluctuate a lot more as well.
I still like the idea of unions but I just don't know how you can make them work for tech;if anyone has any good resources on the subject I'd love to read more about it
