With regard to the integration of staff, the NLRB agreed that"feature groups" of employees with different responsibilities is an important part of game design, but that the QA employees' integration with other team members was still outweighed by other factors that made it more important to give them bargaining power.
"The testers have a separate department and separate supervision; perform a distinct function, utilizing distinct skills; and have notably lower wages than the excluded employees," the Board said in its decision. Notably, the developers working in the Albany office are mostly assigned to Diablo-related projects, as are the QA testers.

US Labor Board torpedoes Activision's last-minute attempt to impede union voteOne of Josh's first memories is of playing Quake 2 on the family computer when he was much too young to be doing that, and he's been irreparably game-brained ever since.
