How about unionizing? There’s your plan right there.
There would have to be a blanket nationwide video game developer union, regardless of the employer.
Sounds awesome
It’s seriously needed. I have friends that work in the industry and I have to keep checks on them; I’ve never seen them so depressed. I get it, when four projects get cancelled in a row and everyday is a question if you’re on the chopping block next.
That sounds so rough. You get the job you always wanted, only to live in constant anxiety.
I really hope things change for the better.
Oh it’s been rough, and we’ve been friends since grade school. I went a different route but he went with the game developer route. It’s hard even for me to get him to chill out a bit these days. I know he’s not suicidal; but I do wonder if the stress will kick him in, he’s been getting sick a lot so I can tell he’s got a lot of strain on his immune system from the constant stress.
Stress like that is way worse than it looks. It wears you out from the inside. To your point- it weakens your immune system, which makes everything else worse.
It really is heartbreaking what this world can do to people. I hope they can find success is whatever direction they take.
Yep, I’ll keep talking to them every other day but hopefully it gets better. I even offered them a place to stay if shit hits the fan.
