Blizzard probably allowed it because Overwatch is bleeding player count, and then can use the union as "proof" that that unions harm the bottom line.

I'm happy for them and I hope they can do something on even across other titles/teams, but I suspect Blizzard didn't hire the Pinkertons like Amazon for a reason.
