So with more crunch and no unions? It goes both ways, it’s not a monolithic culture where passage of time simply makes things worse
True, I didn’t really mean it to that extreme. and yea not saying gaming industry was perfect, there was plenty to gripe about in the past. Just on average, as a whole, the industry seems worse. The one exception I think are Indie games.
You should see unions soon. Gaming industry is going to force every game designer and developer under a union because of the insecurities. A union guarantees they can’t fuck with you like the crunches. Or the absolute worse is when they have to do unpaid overtime which I think is illegal.
Most office workers are categorized as computer work, which was lobbied to be exempt from paid overtime laws.
