This is why we need to have 90 dollar games! /s
That’s sad and disgusting.
My question is when workers in game studios start to make unions. It’s a massive industry and the people actually making the games are constantly fucked over.
Many years ago. But as you said, it’s a big industry, and the US is not an easy place to unionize in.
and the US is not an easy place to unionize in.
Moreso now than ever before.
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is right now.
But I don’t think that advice includes people staring at a fast approaching wildfire…
in my head its because its an industry where going solo is viable and if they arent working at a company thats their goal so they have full contol over the vision and make all the money and one day they want to exert the same creative control over others and get overtime/overwork out of them
The irony is that becoming a solo dev is rarely feasible and even more rarely leads to a product that pays up more than just working elsewhere.
That immediately makes people point to success stories, like Stardew Valley. Dunno about others, but I don’t have a family + girlfriend to sustain me for 4+ years, nor am I blinded by the dream possibility of reaching millions of sales when so many games struggle to reach 10k sales.
We should pay way more attention to other industries.
And then they feed the documents to a LLM and iterate over it
Had over a thousand hours in Apex, while I quit way back because of different reasons, their actions definitely are not going to bring me back
