A significant milestone has been reached in the gaming industry's labor movement, as Magic: The Gathering Arena developers have officially formed a union. The United Wizards of the Coast - CWA, which was voted in favor of by the developers earlier this year, has now been officially elected.

The election process was not without its challenges, as the union had to file an election petition with the US National Labor Relations Board in April. Additionally, the workers had requested that Wizards of the Coast voluntarily recognize the union, but the company was accused of missing a deadline and dragging their heels on the matter.
