Les employés de Bethesda Montréal se syndiquent

La récente demande de syndicalisation de Bethesda Game Studios Montréal met en lumière les troubles croissants au sein de l'industrie du jeu vidéo. L’année et demie écoulée a été marquée par des bouleversements importants, notamment des licenciements généralisés et des fermetures de studios, affectant même des développeurs apparemment prospères. Cette imprévisibilité a érodé la confiance des développeurs et des fans.

Au-delà des licenciements, l'industrie est aux prises avec des problèmes tels que des périodes de pointe excessives, la discrimination et des salaires injustes. La syndicalisation est de plus en plus considérée comme une solution. La syndicalisation de Vodeo Games en 2021 a marqué une première importante en Amérique du Nord, ouvrant la voie à d'autres.

Bethesda Game Studios Montréal a officiellement déposé une demande d'accréditation syndicale auprès de la Commission du travail du Québec, dans le but de rejoindre les Travailleurs canadiens en communications d'Amérique. Cette décision fait suite à la récente fermeture par Xbox de quatre autres studios Bethesda, alimentant les spéculations et les inquiétudes.

Les fermetures, y compris celles de Tango Gameworks (développeur de Hi-Fi Rush), ont suscité de nombreuses remises en question sur les décisions de Xbox. Bien que les dirigeants aient offert des explications limitées, des indices suggèrent que le départ de Shinji Mikami a joué un rôle.

Les efforts de syndicalisation de Bethesda Game Studios Montréal reflètent un désir d'une plus grande sécurité d'emploi et de meilleures conditions de travail. CWA Canada a accueilli favorablement la nouvelle et exprime son désir de collaborer. Bethesda Game Studios Montréal espère encourager d'autres développeurs à défendre de meilleurs droits des travailleurs au sein de l'industrie.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019.
Here’s what’s known:

Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony.
In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work.
There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio.
In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term

In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
