Wizards of the Coast has sent letters to Magic: The Gathering Arena developers encouraging them to think twice about forming a union. The move follows a petition filed last month by the developers. Company president John Hight is believed to have authored the message.
The letter highlights concerns over a potential shift in the relationship between staff and leadership at the company. It refers to the union as a third party and emphasizes the value of maintaining direct communication with management. Employees shared excerpts on Bluesky, noting implications that union representation could lead to reduced benefits or wages compared to current arrangements.
