How the FUCK are you doing anything by being a member of goddamn Amnesty fucking International, you sad, sad, fucking joke of a person?
It could've been worse, if it was the Red Cross/Crescent.

At hello games:Look, nigger, we're not talking about some working class stiff who has to take whatever is offered to feed his/her family. We're talking about people who have plenty of alternative options, yet they willingly, knowingly chose the worst one. So fuck every single one of them.
The whole AAA gaming industry is a nightmare place.
Crunches and lay offs happen with small studios and indie studios too.It's almost as if I've been explicitly saying that people should not be taking jobs in triple-A vidya companies during this entire goddamn fucking thread and that they have plenty of options outside that.

You. Don't. Need. To. Work. For. A. Game. Dev. Company.
Seriously, what the flying fuck? How is this so goddamn difficult? You don't like how the vidya industry operates? Don't participate. Get a job developing software for some boring company that doesn't produce your favorite toys instead, I know for a fact there are always plenty of openings. Stop being a goddamn 30+ year old child.
Dragon Age isn't even made by a game developer in the same country as californiaAfter all, anybody on the Codex whining that Californian liberals keep writing the latest Dragon Age are doing the same thing
So if I were giving advice to my younger brother or something on a personal level, yeah, I would say, don't go work at a video game company. Or at least do your research, know what you're getting into, etc.
At the same time, I can also hold a more general opinion that we would all be better off if the video game industry wasn't set up in such a retarded way, not necessarily just in terms of crunch time (which again I don't know the details of), but in terms of funding models, organisational structure, promotion, etc, etc.
Absolutely, why get invested in any franchise at all, after all they're just videogames who caresSo if I were giving advice to my younger brother or something on a personal level, yeah, I would say, don't go work at a video game company.

After all, anybody on the Codex whining that Californian liberals keep writing the latest Dragon Age are doing the same thing - they're complaining at a general level about how the industry is currently set up. At a personal level, I could just say stfu stop whining just don't buy/play those games, which would be valid. But at the same time it's also valid to make a broader critique of the industry.
The problem is when you confuse the two layers, so that someone is sitting there playing 8000 hours of Fallout 4 and buying all DLCs while complaining about dumbing down, or someone is turning down other job opportunities or actively refusing to retrain themselves while tweeting 24/7 how much they hate their job.
How do you gain 50 pounds if you're working 70-100 hours a week? Fat fucks...

You know what's going to change the industry as a whole? Everyone giving their proverbial "younger brother" this advice and every proverbial "younger brother" not joining these companies. Let them get hit with a severe workforce deficiency, let's see how it works out for them and their products when the only people willing to work for them are 4-dollars-an-hour Pajeets in Bangalore.
But this would actually take some foresight, some restraint, some self-discipline. All of these things are severely lacking within the demographic that actually does get involved with the vidya industry because "M U H D R E A M S" - in other words, it's never going to happen and this cycle is bound to repeat itself over and over and over again because a lot of people were simply born to be slaves, and slaves they shall forever remain.

Don't most European countries have like 60-70% tax rates or something? That clean air, women's birthing center, subsidized agriculture farm and lesbian gaming study don't come free of charge ya know, comrade-ski. Pretty sad when gaming devs have to moon-light as security guards or truck drivers 'cause their socialist leaders want to open another drug clinic for homeless squirrels.

Wait, you think there is a single country in the world that literally takes 70% of everybody's income?
Roughly speaking, highest income tax in the world is around 39% for low earners and 59% for highest earners.

No time left for healthy eating and physical activity, more stress so more snacking, not enough sleep...

I think you're confusing working with working out. Because working with a computer is not the same as working a physically intensive job that helps burn fat or develop muscle mass. Also, like the other guy said, if you don't really have time to sleep well and exercise, then you're going to gain weight too.How do you gain 50 pounds if you're working 70-100 hours a week?

There is more to tax than income tax. If I look at what an employer has to pay for average worker, and then look at what that worker gets to actually spend, I see that government takes 62% of what he earned.Wait, you think there is a single country in the world that literally takes 70% of everybody's income?

And that is not in any top bracket, that is for average salary worker.
