- ornornor 5y agoThe whole video game industry is a red flag. It’s notorious for underpaying, demanding insanely long hours, and treating people like subhumans.
- Darmody 5y agoI'd say that happens for 2 reasons. 1. Video games are really hard and costly to make and unless you're a big known company, nothing assures you'll get your money back 2. It's a dream job for a lot of young programmers, so they'll accept anything.
- ornornor 5y agoI’m sure they have very good reasons for exploiting people, whatever these reasons may be it doesn’t change the fact that video game companies are not good places to work at for the most part.
