The game industry reacts to today's Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
saying that it opposes efforts to"weaken existing liberties," and is"concerned by increased government interventions undermining and limiting reproductive choice and access to care."against the decision, describing the Supreme Court as"dangerously out of step with the American people."
"From recent decisions eliminating public sector fair share fees, to allowing employers to force workers to sign arbitration agreements giving up their right to participate in class action lawsuits, to striking down laws that allow union organizers to meet with workers, the anti-worker majority on the Court has relentlessly pursued its ideologically driven agenda at the expense of working people," the CWA said.
"Today's radical decision overturning the long-established constitutional right to safe, legal abortion is a continuation of those efforts. Without the ability to make their own choices about reproductive healthcare, and in a country where pregnancy can have devastating economic effects due pervasive discrimination and the lack of affordable healthcare or paid parental live, working class women are the ones who will suffer the most.

I've reached out to Ubisoft, Devolver, and Innersloth for more information, and will update if I receive a reply.
Some studios also shared links to relevant charities, for fans who want to support access to healthcare and reproductive rights in the US:
