BGS Montreal was established in late 2015, with Yves Lachance at the helm. Lachance, previously associated with Behaviour Interactive—a Montreal-based studio known for the popular game Dead by Daylight—brought valuable experience to BGS.
BGS蒙特利爾成立於2015年末，由 伊夫·拉尚斯（Yves Lachance）領導。拉尚斯此前與行業知名遊戲《死亡循環》的許多製作人員合作過，他向BGS帶來了寶貴的經驗。
The Montreal studio has since taken over development of Fallout Shelter from Behaviour Interactive, showcasing its capability within Bethesda's broader portfolio.
這家蒙特利爾工作室隨後接手了Bethesda的《輻射避難所》的開發工作，並展示了自己在Bethesda整個產品組合中的能力。
Gaming Unionization Trends
遊戲行業的工會化趨勢。
The move by BGS Montreal is part of a broader trend of unionization within the video game industry, which has historically been resistant to such movements.
BGS蒙特利爾的舉動是電子遊戲股行業工會化運動的一部分，這是一個歷史上一直反抗此類運動的領域。
In late 2022, approximately 300 quality assurance workers at ZeniMax, Bethesda's parent company, formed a union with the CWA.
2022年末，ZeniMax，Bethesda的母公司的質量保證工作人員中有約300人與CWA結成了一家工會。
This growing unionization wave also includes Activision Quality Assurance United, the Allied Employees Guild Improving Sega (AEGIS), and Avalanche Studios, the developer behind the Just Cause franchise, which signed a collective bargaining agreement with its unionized workers in April 2023.
這股擴大的工會化浪潮還包括Activision Quality Assurance United，AEGIS和Just Cause系列的開發商Avalanche Studios，該工作室於2023年4月與其組建的工會工人簽訂了一份集體協議。

This surge in unionization efforts comes against a backdrop of significant challenges in the video game industry. Mass layoffs have marked the landscape, with over 6,000 jobs affected in the first two months of 2024 alone.
工會化運動的高潮是在電子遊戲行業面臨重大挑戰的背景下出現的。大規模的裁員已經出現，僅在2024年的前兩個月就有超過6,000個工作職位受到影響。
