Xbox head Phil Spencer said he supports Raven Software union in internal meeting
Activision and its CEO for potential insider trading that occurred in advance of the Microsoft deal being made public.
Raven's QA testers began unionization efforts last year after the company abruptly terminated 12 contractors. This followed long-running claims from Raven testers that they aren'tas well as those in similar roles at Activision, as well as engage in"crunch" — a term for the often brutally long overtime hours many in the video game industry are expected to work in order to ship products on schedule.
