i'm sure people have seen this already, but the people make games video documentary on an indonesian company that aaa game companies outsourced to is disturbing and important: youtu.be/RR9HQ2C6h_4 make sure to read the comments on indonesian history too.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR9H... I can't actually watch this video because the first few minutes made it clear it would be too emotionally painful, but I'm sharing it in the hopes of raising awareness of the abuses it reports. #gamedev
Co za pojebany reportaż. Powinien go zobaczyć każdy, kto choć trochę interesuje się branżą, nie tylko samymi gierkami. youtu.be/RR9HQ2C6h_4?...
Once again I want shorter games with worse graphics, to be made by people who are paid more and work less and aren't being abused And this isn't a joke.
BTW, if you're reading that last sentence and unsure what the hell I'm talking about, check this video out and remember: no viral, no justice. youtu.be/RR9HQ2C6h_4?...
Bit late on this one but holy shit. Disgusting and horrifying. Studios need to do better. youtu.be/RR9HQ2C6h_4
The gaming industry is full of exploitation and abuse. It's a structual problem that needs a structual solution. #gamingnews #gamedev #peoplemakegames
Holy fuck. Looking at @chrisbratt.bsky.social and People Make Games crushing the games industry's worst practices. Top level reporting. I wish all the employees a speedy recovery from these heinous assholes. Warning: the incidents in this video made my blood boil www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR9H...
It took me a while to get to it but finally watched the new PMG video. I can't even begin to imagine a situation like that and it's frightening how easy it is to not be aware of such conditions, or maybe even just willingly unaware. Please take an hour and watch it. It's a story needed to be told.
Isn’t that the game that Ubisoft used Indonesian slaves to make? youtu.be/RR9HQ2C6h_4
I you have an hour, please watch this video from People Make Games. You can also thank the United States for helping to eradicate workers' rights in Indonesia, a part of what enables this level of abuse. youtu.be/RR9HQ2C6h_4?...
Finally making time to watch this before sleep This is messed up that this has been happening Had always heard horror stories about outsourced QA, guess it's not just QA anymore youtu.be/RR9HQ2C6h_4?...
If you care about people and video games do not miss this video about horrific physical and psychological abuse in the Kuala Lumpur games industry youtu.be/RR9HQ2C6h_4?...
youtu.be/RR9HQ2C6h_4?... 게임사도 거의 초콜릿이나 다이아몬드 노동 착취 수준이네 하.... 노조 만들어서 말벌 아저씨들이 출동해야 할듯 ㅠㅠ
Its sickening, I was watching the video on the topic by People Make Games soon after it released and I did need to stop half way through. Saying it is inhumane is an understatement, it really does get THAT bad. (Video in question) www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR9H...
