    "It’s a very passion -driven industry"
    "For many people it’s been a badge of honour to work all night and until the early hours of the morning"

    This is fucked up game culture propagated and exploited by rich execs to milk bright-eyed young devs for all their labor value, & unfortunately HUGE in the industry.

      'Passion' doesn't pay the rent.

      Creative work, however much you love it, is still work, & people need to be compensated fairly.

      A cooperatized Rockstar would've made a better, less slave-driving game than that cowboy sim.

      I spent YEARS of creative energy making fucking Microsoft-accessories solitaire version 43 or some shit phone app. I don't really feel any of that added value to humanity.

      I had to QUIT and make a game myself (Neofeud) to produce anything I actually cared about, of value.
