Sweet.

EDIT:

I forgot that Avalanche is a Swedish company, so this means that they are not forming a new union, but the company is signing a collective bargning agreement with existing unions.

Sweden has had stong unions that are sector based, being part of one is completely separate from your place of work.

Oh, and sympathy strikes are completely legal and used here.

Read up on when Toys 'R Us tried to ignore the unions, shit got down.

This is great news.

Cool, is there a chance they will make a good Just Cause game again then? I loved JC2 but was so severely disappointed with JC3 that I never played them again. Stupid loading times, a world that felt empty and constant popups telling me xXxBlazeIt420xXx had beaten my score at something I didn't care about absolutely ruined it.

Man I remember playing JC2 and absolutely loving it. The rampant destruction. The ability to fly, drive, just about anything. And guns....lots of guns.

I thought about getting JC3 but didn't want to buy a new console (I think)....or I just didn't have the time anymore.
