Is that the same company that recently was in the news due to brutal workloads and work hours?
- sharkjacobs 7y agoThey're a videogame company, so probably.
- goatinaboat 7y agoYes but that is orthogonal to this
- gbear605 7y agoMost videogame companies are like that. It is definitely horrible, but the company's attitude toward its employees' work hours is unrelated to its attitude toward China.
- oarsinsync 7y agoUnless you take the view that human rights are human rights are human rights, and are universal. Being shitty to the humans you pay while paying lip service to some of the humans that pay you is an interesting and, from some angles, contradictory position to hold.
- gbear605 7y agoHuman rights are universal, but one involves literal concentration camps while the other is people who are voluntarily there, even if it is abusive. I think that Epic Games should change their policies, and so should the rest of the game development industry, but I prioritize disliking fascism over disliking poor working conditions.
- iamaelephant 7y agoCan you explain the relevance to the topic of discussion?
- Sohcahtoa82 7y agoWhat game company isn't requiring brutal workloads and hours? It's pretty par for the course for game developers. They're also underpaid compared to developers that aren't working in games.
