Activision Blizzard will convert all US-based game testers on temporary contracts to full-time employees, with an improved $20/hour salary and access to full company benefits.
Almost 1100 staff will benefit from the change from 1st January – although this will not apply to staff at Call of Duty studio Raven who are currently seeking unionisation.
Activision has said it is “prohibited from making new kinds of compensation changes at Raven at this time” due to “legal obligations under the National Labor Relations Act” (thanks, The Verge).
