    They develop it, sure, but much like the rest of the game, devs have minimal say in what actually goes into the game.

      devs are the rare kind of worker who can choose to work elsewhere without much problems.

        Somewhere else where it’s going to end up the same. The industry is shit with this kind of practice, devs can go wherever they want, sure. Assuming this is true, which I have my doubts on, it doesn’t matter if everywhere is doing the same thing.

            Big moving goalposts there. Maybe direct some of that vitriol at the execs, the ones who are actually not doing shit for humanity.

              The goalpost is still not having stuff like this just because some asshoIe somewhere wants more money.

              And nothing will actually change if workers keep sucking it up and doing the unethical garbage they are told to do. If complaining to them did anything, this wouldn’t be a problem in the first place.

                Workers need to eat from every industry. The issue is almost never with them. Let me ask you this, do you have the same level of hate towards the cashiers at Walmart? Or the waiters at the restaurants you go to? No, probably not, so why this unique level of anger towards devs?

                  I dont have specific hate for any of those professions you mentioned. Thats including developers.

                  I do think some of these workers (namely software devs, but many others too) have the power to stand up and go elsewhere at the very least.

                  I don’t think most developers working for a big studio in a first world country are that worried about food though.

                    So it’s because they have a better paying job? Because they earn better than the cashiers and thus “don’t have to worry” about food, so they can do what they want? Software devs are still pretty trash paid, compared again, to the execs. They have a bit more wiggle room than a service industry worker, sure, but by no means “fuck you” money, except the one-in-a-million. They’re working class just like you and me and all the service industry people. Aim your anger at the dudes in fancy suits and more 0s in their bank account than anyone should reasonably have.
