Title: Giant Bomb asked Cory Barlog about recent Labor Issue debate in video game industry
Reason: User warned: Being dismissive to documented issues
This would be absolutely atrocious for the gaming industry. It would absolutely devastate middle developers...big companies would move operations overseas and/or drastically raise prices. To want to unionize this type of work (which kind btw? programmers? artists? animators? anyone who works for games?), is foolish and shows an complete misunderstanding of economics, freedom of contract, and a whole host of other issues. Moreover, these people aren't suffering. Long hours for 6 months? Working on weekends? OH NO!! We have a damn human rights violation going on. Companies change when their bottom line is affected. Studios should be much better at managing their projects to not have this and have reasonable hours to allow folks to be more productive. Studios that do a better job, will get better talent and make better games.
