Now watch as Sega suddenly discovers a ‘business need’ to outsource to an independent game studio, I don’t know, ‘Robotnik’s Ruinous Rules,’ perhaps, with absolutely no relation to the unionization. Whatsoever.
Yeah it's kinda unimaginable to me as well but this seems about the same as other union elections I've been close to. Still a better turnout than most US government elections. It's probably good to note that some union-busting tactics are meant to decrease turnout or create fear that there might be negative repercussions for voting at all. This was a factor in the Amazon unionization drives that failed last year.

Congratulations to them, now for the rest of the video game industry!
It is so sorely needed. I feel for my friends that went that route. Big W for Sega employees.
Hell yeah.
LET'S FUCKIN GO

117 votes and it affects over 200 people?
What fucking losers not stepping up and voting?!
50% of them like: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Happy for them!
Yay
Super cool to AEGIS, but their struggles are just beginning. Here's hoping they prevail in making their workplace better.
