It's because it's a dream for people, comparable to working on movies. That's like saying why should a AV technician not work on movies when they can make more money doing recordings for corporate events.
- magduf 8y agoSo why should anyone outside this "dream" industry give two shits about the people inside the industry being mistreated? If they don't like it, they should go to work in some other "boring" industry that uses those same skills. There's no shortage of jobs out there for skilled people these days, the problem is too many prima donnas like these game devs who want to live their dream and then also be treated well. When everyone and their brother is clamoring to work in a particular niche industry, producing a huge oversupply, this is what you get. Go work in an industry where there's a shortage of qualified people instead.
- davidcbc 8y agoMaybe, and hear me out I know this is a crazy idea, but maybe everyone should be treated well.
- magduf 8y agoSorry, I don't believe that. I believe people who don't have a good choice should be treated well, but if people are happily signing up to be treated poorly, and they KNOW they are going to be treated poorly there, (and they have plenty of far better alternatives, and they're only signing up for this because it's "cool") then I don't have any sympathy for them whatsoever. If you want to be treated well, then stop flocking to people and places that treat you like crap.
- zjaffee 8y agoThe TV and Film industry is one of the most heavily unionized industries there is, so there's precedent for unionization in these types of fields.
