Magic: The Gathering Arena developers intend to form a union with the CWA

Magic: The Gathering Arena developers at Wizards of the Coast plan to unionize with the Communications Workers of America.

The group says it has supermajority support and has filed for an NLRB election, which would be canceled if Hasbro recognizes the union by May 1.

Workers cite concerns over layoffs, remote work, AI guardrails, crunch, pay, and transparency.

The move adds to a wider wave of game-industry organizing and could affect labor standards at a major publisher.
