Yea Forums devs pour blood sweat and tears for your entertainment. Why don't you care?
Why don't Americans sue the media for deformation anymore?

We literally had this same thread yesterday and was answered already, someones got a screencap even.

>company is shitty to employees and they just take it up the ass where else is this sort of mentally unhealthy behavior considered '''normal'''? Not a lot of places as far as I know
Robert Edwards
i wonder if the vidya industry will crash not because of sales but because of middle management incompetence
god i feel lucky to have a boss that is both extremely competent and appreciates me. never jumps down throat or micromanages me.
Angel Jones
The entire world? How sheltered are you?
Ethan Garcia
I hate all the whining of poor people working a couple more hours on a computer lile game devs or cgi movie monkeys
You knew that was the standard when you started studying it, it's been common knowledge for years.
Try some physical labor then lets hear how hard your clicking and typing is
Jonathan Rodriguez
>considered normal it's normal to be abused with overtimes constantly and then essentially get fucked in the end, all the while suffering ill treatment from coworkers? Good lord, I feel sorry for you

"They were called nicknames behind their backs and they were very inappropriate, especially for women. A lot of the nicknames for women were really perverted and disgusting." Other sources say they've only heard of the nicknames second hand. i guarantee the ones making fun of them were women women fucking hate other women and they always form cliques to shit on other women
Eli Green
I used to hate NRS for not treating women in vidyas as sex objects, but now I like them for treating actual women as slaves
>Yes lmao have you stepped outside of your cardboard box lately? yea I have >3rd world shitholes as argument alright this one is my fault because I never specified a region, so let's focus on the western world I know from experience that people (not americans ofcourse) aren't generally willing to deal with a lot of bullshit such as poor management and overtime (that's result of shit management among other things) and are even willing to quit the jobs in bulk to prove their point your link doesn't even cover the things we're discussing (or which I thought we were discussing) which is mostly overtime (slavery) and mobbing
Ian Green
These faggots have jobs most people dream about having but we should still feel bad for them
How about feeling bad for people with actually shitty jobs who are more than 0.00000001% of the population
Even when they are victims they are elitists
Sebastian Walker
>"I worked about 220-plus hours during a month last year, back-to-back-to-back weeks of overtime," said one source. "[Everyone] knew it'd come again for updates and DLC, it was almost endless." Well a normal work month is like 180 hours at 40 hours a week (4 1/2 weeks in a month). So this soul crushing amount of overtime is like the normal work week for most professional level salaried positions (finance, medicine, engineering, etc).
Also only absolute bottom of the barrel tards to video game contract work. You're literally accepting half the pay that more skilled people make with the same tenure.

How on earth do you get crunch time when developing FIGHTING GAMES? They're not AAA open world action RPG. Is it just mismanagement?
Asher Thomas

they have men and men with boobs.

Fucking this. I've busted my ass in a warehouse for likely half of what those fuckers earned.
Carter Gomez
As far as I can tell anyone with a shitty job is a fuckstick who does nothing but talk about how they have a REAL JOB and how hard done by they are. Who the fuck is going to care about people like that?
Parker Walker

Aiden Evans

Kevin Flores

the industry will crash because retards like you with th least bit of disposable income have shit taste and feed the cancer that is "mobile games"
Benjamin Gonzalez
>other people have it worse so it;s ok!! exactly why nothing ever gets done about this
Aaron Stewart
Just because you worked hard to make a turb, that doesn’t mean I care
Tyler Wilson
you'd be surprised at how far you'd go to pay the rent, support family, not starve, etc.
Ayden Morris

220 hours a month isn’t even a full work day. They have it easier than most other americans in white collar industries
Carson Jenkins

Jayden Reyes
Either complain to your boss about it or call the cops. I can't do anything for you.

Right, because condoms never break and birth control works 100% of the time

I'm not paying for MK11. I don't give a single fuck about it's devs.
Jaxson Baker
>full-time position at NetherRealm, essentially a protected status No wonder these fucking cunts are so content to shit out the same jank every entry
Christopher Cox
I think that’s a general problem for tech companies and contractors. In my experience these roles will stay as contractors. In my IT dept I’ve worked with 2 other guys for years who have been stuck in the contracting role and will never be hired in
Hudson Williams
But, ya see, with their manly women Characters, obviously nrs supports trans rights. Why are you attacking a studio that obviously supports trans rights!? Are you a transphobe?
Gavin Watson

this always happens. Look at all the male feminists that end up having fiddled women
Adam Taylor

The games are still shit though.
Joseph Davis
EVERY FUCKING TIME
Owen Gonzalez
The labor market is pretty fucking abstract now. Companies dont want any actual employees if they can avoid it. They'll route everything through outside firms and temporary contracts.
Thomas Smith
Game developers are the lowest of the lowest among programmers. They deserve shit conditions and shit pay.
Zachary Barnes
Its not the gamer who should care but the government. In here its illegal to be forced to work that long.
Grayson Nguyen
NO ONE is "sweating, crying, or bleeding" while making a video game. They have the easiest jobs imaginable, they have the safest jobs imaginable, and they get paid better than 99% of the people on the planet. The fact that anyone would complain about that is indefensible.
Jeremiah Hill
>can't cite a single one of these "nicknames"
Because they don't exist.
Ian Robinson
As if you even know your father.
Adrian Jackson
did they get paid? Why complain then they knew what they signed up for.
Julian Lewis
Technology is inherently built on slavery. I'd have to ditch my PC and phone if I don't want to support someone working slave labor for my products.
Andrew Garcia
Most of them think they're special. They have the "well I can make video games not just play them!" attitude, like that makes them some kind of higher being.
Reality however is that the reason these people get treated like shit is because there is too many of them and they're so easy to replace.
The video game industry is basically the McDonalds of tech industries and it's workers are treated as such.
Jayden Perez
EVERY fucking job they will push the "just keep working hard! you'll be manager/full-time/tenure in no time!" and every time it's just a ploy to string you along so you keep working for them. i learned this at my very first job in high school. if you fall for it as an adult then that's on you
Zachary White
because the company strung them along with a promise of getting a contract. If you get told in a gentlemans agreement that some of you contractors might find permanent work, only to just then discard them as soon as theyve been useful, its kinda a dick move. And if that promise of a contract was empty and shouldnt matter, why bother hinting at it? Sure they were retards falling for it, but a lot of people are told the lie of "work hard and you'll be recognized". And thats not just in this kind of instance, it also happens if you stick with one boss. Sure you get told you are a rock to build on, and they appreciate your dedication, but the extras they give you are peanuts compared to shopping around for jobs and demanding a raise.
