    Prospects must be dire to want to get back into a company that would (and definitely would because they did) do that.

      Video game worker here. I used to get 5-15 inMails a week offering me an interview. This year? 2. In total. The industry is brutal right now.

        It‘s also an industry full of enthusiasts with a passion for what they do. Well mostly. I don‘t have to tell you how much that gets exploited. The workers who got the boot over joining a union actually seemed interested in returning to office again in interviews, though not without joining a union first.

          Yeah I mean can you imagine working on a big contender for the game of the decade, and being kicked out at the final hurdle?
