Horrifying abuse at games outsourcing companies in SE Asia.
Hard not to view this in a neo-colonial lens given US involvement in the Indonesian mass purging of union organizers and socialists in the 60s (not to mention ongoing ethnic cleansing of Papau with US weapons). These workers enable massive profits for many gaming corporations.
Workers in the video game industry are getting routinely exploited by their employers. We encourage all who work in the video games industry to join the game workers union. Together we are always stronger. https://www.gameworkers.co.uk/ #union #videogamesunion #videogameunion #gameworkers #gameworkersunite

My favorite part of the Xbox E3 conference was when Keanu asked the workers of the world to unite!
Just stumbled on the #podcast "Humans Who Make Games" and Adam Conover did a fantastic interview with a couple of #GameWorkersUnite members. Well worth a listen!

Friendly reminder that the person e-mailing EA's workers about today's layoffs earns about 4-6x in *one single workday* what a QA or CS worker -at EA- will earn in a full damn year. #GameWorkersUnite

"If you’re not at the table you’re essentially on the menu."
