I have to wonder how one decides that it’s perfectly ok to just not pay your workers, and still think that it’s all going to work out fine. Especially in a country with actual labor rights, like France.

Again, absolutely nothing in your post is true. Not a single god damned thing.

There is nothing in your post that is even remotely true. There are many, many other ways to apprehend suspects than shooting them.

They’re both sufficiently shitty that there’s really no point in saying that one is definitively shittier than the other. They’re both past that line that, even if you could say one is less shitty, its still pretty damn shitty.

“At some level you could argue that this is just normal “charge what the market will bare” business.”

Doesn’t matter. The fault is still entirely on the shitty dealer being shitty.

Agreed. The people behind these scams deserve every bit of punishment they get.

No, you should recognize that other people do not have the same experiences and opportunities as you do.

“I’m sorry but how do you know that about him?”

Said someone who likely has never encountered problems due to their race. Go into areas where cops routinely kill black people, and tell them that it’s their fault that they have to be acutely aware of their race.

“The scope of games can’t go backwards.”

None of that is true in the least. The costs of a game would not “triple overnight”. What would happen is you’d get much more realistic timetables, and much more realistic scopes. You’d have people who aren’t getting laid off as soon as the game ships to avoid paying bonuses. You’d have people that actually have the…

Sadly, although that action is flat out illegal, they likely would get away with it.

“Plus games are going to cost more to get made due to longer work periods”

Bullshit. There is much less stopping them from doing that now.

A union can and should include QA workers (or enable them to unionize and support them, much like the Key Grips union is separate from the Writers Guild, but they still support each other). A union could also require that adequate QA happens.

We can worry about that when we get there. But remember: The vast majority of people who go into the games industry are those who do it because they love games. They’re the absolute last people that would want games to suffer. If anything, having collective bargaining could help games, as it would allow them to push…
