I never wondered about the conditions of videogames workers, but I’m really happy that they get better thanks to this movement !

Shout out to Matt McMuscles who makes these. What a champ.

Thanks for sharing ! Looks like the usual “small white male feeling powerful because he’s the boss” bullshit more than a problem specific to the gaming industry.

Anyway, unionizing should protect them better from these kind of abuse, which is good :)
