Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has talked about unionisation in the game industry, saying that it's 'hard to imagine' it happening.
In an interview with GamesIndustry, Zelnick said, 'Unions tend to develop when labor relations are not typically non-existent. And typically unions have been most beneficial when there were more workers than there were jobs. And where the jobs were low-paying jobs. We have fewer workers than we have jobs, and they're high-paying jobs.'
Zelnick then went on to elaborate on the state of the games industry in terms of its need to unionise. 'There are 220,000 or so people employed in the US video game business,' he said. 'They make about $100,000 on average, maybe more. It's hard to imagine what would motivate that crew to unionize. But we're a compliant company and will serve the law. If our colleagues want to engage in collective bargaining, then we will.'
In other Strauss Zelnick news, he also spoke about the gaps between Take-Two games growing smaller in the future.
