    People in the game industry must be passionate about what they do. When I was in school 20 years ago, I remember being discouraged from the game industry by advice that you'll be flogged your entire career. I loved games and had a lot of experience making mods, but that was enough to scare me away back then!

    I wonder if they unionized in an attempt to save their jobs.

    Reminder that this would be illegal in any modern developed country.

      even better, in countries like germany, any individual can just join a union. and it is simply a matter of enough people joining up. there is no need for employees to even organize themselves to get unionized. also, any company with more than 50 people is required to have a betriebsrat by law, regardless of any employees being in a union or not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_council

      IANAL, but Canada has far stronger labo(u)r laws than the US. They should all be lawyering up, whether it be for some union busting law or plain old wrongful termination.

      Canada is not a modern, developed country?

        Have you seen the roads there?

          yes the roads, which in some municipalities, are paved in a manner acording to who voted for who on some country roads, with perfect asphalt extending the whole way in front of one big farm, exactly between property markers. But that, and other things are what you get from a constitutional monarchy that has some if the oddest legal provisions on the planet. I wont say we like it, but we are good at it.
