Hello Exiles.

We got some fun news for you today, as the Path of Exile community seems to be at it again! This time with a hilarious and creative initiative where players have formed fictional “unions” representing different playstyles and mechanics. Called the “Official Subreddit Hygiene Association (OSHA)”, it started as a fun community joke and has now gained some serious traction, with players picking sides and even Grinding Gear Games (GGG) joining in on the fun:

The Community’s Latest Meme: Path of Exile Unions

It all started with a satirical press release posted on Reddit, where the OSHA announced a set of officially recognized in-game organizations. Basically, you can now “join” different unions based on playstyle preferences, complete with subreddit flairs to showcase your allegiance. Some of those standout unions include:

• Alch and Go Corps (AGC) – For exiles who love to speed-run maps with minimal investment.
• Anti Sanctum Alliance (ASA) – A safe space for anyone who wants to stop Sanctum runners.
• Big Breach Coalition (BBC) – Representing hunters of massive, monster-filled Breaches.
• Children of Delve (COD) – If you spend more time in the mines than in Wraeclast, this one is for you.
• Progressive Einhar Trapping Association (PETA) – Einhar’s most loyal beast hunters.

GGG Joins the Meme

What makes this even better? Grinding Gear Games noticed and decided to play along. Instead of ignoring the meme, they responded in classic GGG fashion, showing once again that they appreciate and engage with the community’s creativity. Path of Exile players are known for turning even the smallest ideas into massive community-wide jokes, and GGG embracing it only makes it better.

For a bit more context on the origins of this joke, you can check out this timestamped clip from a recent YouTube video:

Why This is Peak Path of Exile Community

Beyond the humor, this is a perfect example of what makes the Path of Exile community so special. Players take something small, build on it, and turn it into an inside joke that quickly spreads across the entire game.
And with GGG joining in, the meme has officially become part of Path of Exile history.

So, which union are you joining? Will you pledge allegiance to the Big Breach Coalition, or are you a Child of Delve for life?

In any case, stay sane, Exiles!
