Posted by Zonk on from the anonymous-blog-for-social-change dept.

Jaero writes "The Spouse has a followup post to her "EA: The Human Story" from over a month ago. Not only was it nominated for a Best Software Essay of 2004, but she has revealed plans to start an independent industry watchdog organization called GameWatch.org, meant to monitor the quality of life in the game development world. Anyone will be able to post their story, as well as design the logo (a contest which lasts until January 15th)."

    I dunno but the argument that programming and computer engineering in general is "real work" is a BS argument to me.

    Computers are fun and all, tell me you didn't get into the field b/c you thot that.

    Computers do help us in a lot of areas when it comes to solving real-world issues, but come on, the general commercial computer world is just a money maker for rich ppl.

    "Real work" to me would be more like being a teacher, doctor, hell even a lawyer (the good kind, with principles, they do exist.) Providing a service to society, rather than a commodity.

    But they don't seem like as much fun to me. So I guess I will keep my back breaking computer job for now.
