State of the Unions: the rise of unionisation in games workplaces Union representatives reflect on the industry's progress so far, and the remaining barriers to overcome The rise of unions in the video games industry has been a hot topic over the past decade, as more and more workers seek protection for their rights in the face of harsh working conditions and management shortcomings around the world. Not only have a large number of games-specific unions formed in a relatively short amount of time, but these unions have already demonstrated their value for members. SAG-AFTRA went on strike to secure improved pay and AI protections for video games voice actors, ZeniMax workers have marched out over disagreements around remote work and outsourcing, and union-organised protests have been held outside the premises of Rockstar Games, Activision, Ubisoft, Bethesda, Riot Games, and Build A Rocket Boy (to name but a few).

Gen-AI controversy aside, Crazy Taxi: World Tour feels like classic arcade Sega - and it's an absolute blast Cabby fever. Crazy Taxi was not my favourite Dreamcast game (please don't ask me to choose between the triumphant rhythm triptych of Rez, Space Channel 5, and Samba de Amigo, however), but there's a specific bit of it that's forever seared into my brain: the giddy thrill of cresting over that one San-Francisco-inspired hill and barreling down toward the ocean, all while The Offspring's All I Want 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah'ed me into a state of gaming nirvana. As a moment, it's the kind of perfect melding of style and blissful arcade purity that seemed to define so much of Sega's Dreamcast-era output. And my recent half-hour hands-on with the upcoming Crazy Taxi: World Tour at Gamescom suggests the original's 90s skate-punk spirit and taut arcade thrills are - if perhaps not equal - alive and well in this, Sega's long-awaited revival.
