EA Spouse Posts Plans for Watchdog Organ

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)."

    Yes, Unions are the answer. I would much rather see unqualified people given promotions and raises because of their seniority rather than talent. I'd much rather see less productivity and ingenuity. I'd much rather see the tech world turn into a garbage men's union or a welders union. Are you fucking nuts?

    Anyway, they make fucking vidoegames. BOO HOO. Some of us do real work like have to write boring software for application servers or spend all day keeping machines up that cater to millions of SMS users.

    Bitching about life as a game developer is like bitching about life as a rock star or an artist. You chose it as a "fun" career. You could employ yourself elsewhere in less fun and interesting venues. Stop bitching.

    I'm not saying this is a fair perception, but it is certainly wide-spread.

    It's fair. I would go into more detail with lots of evidence and case studies, but it's not my job.
