Unions and Associations
Computer and video game designers are not represented by unions, but they join the International Game Developers Association (which offers a Global Mentorship Program); publishes IGDA Insider, a weekly industry newsletter; offers the IGDA Game Industry Side Take video podcast; and provides many other resources. Other helpful organizations include the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, Entertainment Software Association, and Women in Games International.
