This is not union busting. It is how many other studios, including unionised ones, work.
It is a great move for the QA team. It gets them closer to the rest of their teammates. They have better exposure and potential for more opportunities. It is how QA should actually function and not be this terrible oursourcing-like and vendor-like structure that some studios still have where QA are considered a separate and isolated team.
Speaking as a worker in an unionised workplace where QA folks are directly embedded into each feature team, rather being part of an isolated team.
