A nationwide strike is taking place this Thursday 13 February 2025, called by the main union. to safeguarding jobs and working conditions in a sector that experienced a boom during Covid.

Is the video games industry in crisis? A nationwide strike is taking place this Thursday 13 February 2025, called by the main trade union. The demands relate in particular to safeguarding jobs and working conditions in a sector that experienced a boom during Covid.

At the time of the Covid pandemic, the video game sector was in a state of euphoria. Many people bought and downloaded games for entertainment.

The enthusiasm has since waned. Our region, a pioneer in the field, has seen the development of this multi-billion-dollar industry.

Video games made in France were born in Lyon! With the Infogrames company. Back in 1983, Infogrames was one of the first video game companies in France, and the iconic brand of the 1980s and 1990s has since become Atari.

The sector has grown. Around 130 companies have sprung up in the region, the vast majority of them based in Lyon. The capital of the Gauls is, behind Paris, the 2nd largest video game centre in France.

Blizzard has opened up about the impact Overwatch 2 "review bombers" have had on the team, acknowledging that the "dissatisfaction" stems from "the cancellation of the much larger component of PvE that was announced in 2019 [...] that Blizzard ultimately couldn't deliver".

In a statement posted to the game's official website, Aaron Keller said that while being review bombed "isn't a fun experience", the plan was to "move forward" by "adding to and improving Overwatch 2".
