Another very well researched and presented doc from #PeopleMakeGames. It sheds light into how bad and abusive working conditions are in Indonesia in #gaming companies which are used by AAA studios to offload #crunch. Keep this in mind when you complain about a game release being moved, bugs not being fixed or that the game is too expensive in your opinion!

That last #video from #PeopleMakeGames is deeply disturbing but feels important to watch.
People Make Games - 100 Slaps: The Breaking News The Games Industry Ignored in 2024
Because the system we have to produce what we enjoy (in this case #videogames) not only permits, but actively encourages and rewards such evil and abuse to take place.
Also makes you wonder where is the cathartic violence and just retribution when you really need it.
100 Slaps: The Breaking News The Games Industry Ignored in 2024
If you are into gaming or just care for the people working in the games industry it:
You need to watch this video by People Make Games about outsourcing and how it can go wrong (and ignored by the global north):

People Make Games just teased a new investigative documentary with potential industry-wide impact to release soon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/our-next-video-118145308 
Totally missed this when it came out:
The Games Behind Your Government's Next War
What do you think about the real world #military and #war?
#Roleplaying (and gaming in general) actually has close ties and somewhat of a symbiosis going on.
Quinn and #PeopleMakeGames made a thoughtful video about #wargaming and #ethics. Worth watching: https://youtu.be/lYaDXZ2MI-k?si=wXU9DJBAKeCltpLR

Have not seen a video in a long time that made me feel so unsettled. I had to watch it in smaller segments because at certain times... I had to stop. I felt a huge internal turmoil because so much of what was presented resonated with me.
As an avid video game enjoyer.
An aspiring video game developer.
As someone that used to think:"Video games can hardly be used for bad. Right?"
And I hate to say it, but I felt a giant curiosity, even a desire to join the "wargaming" part of the industry.

Oh hey, #PeopleMakeGames did a new video essay!
That's ... kinda heavy. Still well worth a watch for folks in The Hobby(tm).
https://youtu.be/lYaDXZ2MI-k?si=jkFodhsKLFfCDCc_ I haven’t finished it yet but I’m about halfway through this documentary on #Wargaming by #PeopleMakeGames and it’s incredible. They continue to raise the bar of discourse.

#PeopleMakeGames held fram med fantastisk arbeid. Eg er halvveges gjennom denne dokumentaren om korleis (brett)spelindustrien og krigsindustrien møter, påverkar og samarbeider med kvarandre, og eg har rukke å bli overraska eit dusin gongar allereie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYaDXZ2MI-k #SpillTut #Dataspill #Spill #YoutubeTips
The British journalism/documentary outfit #PeopleMakeGames was invited by the IWGB Game Workers (formerly known as GWU UK) to talk about the #layoffs in the #VideoGameIndustry
It was a pleasure to have Chris at our AGM. I love how he frames the state of the games industry as an outrageous power imbalance and that he sees unionising as the best and only way to fix it.
Regardless of ideology, if you're an employee at the games industry, you're in a class struggle and the best way to defend and improve your livelihood is through collective action.
Must watch!
