     The Division 2 update 15.1 fixes the 'donate all junk' button

Now that a new season of The Division 2 is underway, it's time to double check and make sure all the bolts are tightened down. It turns out that the launch of Season 9 hasn't come without its share of issues for the MMO game, but Ubisoft Massive has a hotfix planned that should iron out a few of the bugs. Among other things, Title Update 15.1 will fix the broken 'donate all junk' button, which should be a relief for compulsive scrap hoarders.

In the patch notes for Title Update 15.1, which is due out May 31, Ubisoft says the 'donate all junk' button should work as intended once the hotfix is deployed, "and should be giving the same number of materials regardless of the menu category."

Some of the new exotics in Season 9 have found their way into the general loot pool, and that's getting fixed as well. When the patch is deployed, the exotic marksman rifle Dread Edict, LMG Bluescreen, and Catharsis mask will be removed from the general loot pool and will no longer be obtainable from the exotic cache - you'll have to earn them through the season 9 rewards track, or wait until the next season when they return to the general loot pool (as intended).

     Warzone studio votes to form biggest game dev union in the US

The members of Raven Software's QA team, which recently contributed to the development of Call of Duty: Warzone, has officially voted to unionise, making it the highest-profile game developer union in the United States. The final vote was 19-3 in favour of forming a union, a total that will be certified by the National Labor Relations Board.

While Activision Blizzard can contest the results for the next seven days, NLRB certification of the vote will make the Raven QA team, Game Workers Alliance, an officially recognised union who will act as a bargaining unit on matters such as employee compensation, weekly hours commitments, and health benefits.

In April, Activision Blizzard argued that a union vote would have to include all employees of Raven, or more than 200 workers, in order to be valid, but the NLRB found that the smaller group of quality assurance workers were eligible to hold a vote on their own. Activision had refused to voluntarily recognise the union in January, which initially formed last year after Activision laid off a dozen QA workers at Raven. The layoffs prompted weeks of strikes at the massive publisher.
