Industry Group to Set Video Games Work Standards

Posted by Zonk on from the stand-up-stand-up dept.

Chris Reimer writes "C|Net News is reporting that a new industry group will establish ethics and work standards for video game workers. From the article: 'With an aging work force of video game creators, the game industry is going through growing pains similar to what Hollywood once experienced. Today there are more programmers, artists and producers in their 30s, 40s and 50s, many with families, who are looking for better pay, fewer work hours and improved benefits. PEER will focus on representing these experienced programmers.'" This is more information on an organization that we've previously talked about (related, below).

    and I will say it again.
    they should get more pay when they make NEW games!
    Should they get peak pay for the newest madden, nba 20xx or gta.
    Why do we need another generic shotemup game, like Halo or Fear. Maybe another racing game.

    When will you go out and create something new?

  3. Recruiters Going Pushing for Higher Salaries by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Recruiters are scum of the earth - Leaching 30-40% of the persons pay just to place them. They serve no good purpose - Heck all of the failures we have hired at my company are via recruiters.

    This group is basically self-serving, and this is the second slash-vertisement on it this week.
