Activision Sued For Unpaid Overtime

In the wake of EA's employee settlement, Activision finds itself in a suit for much the same reason. Next Generation reports: "Activision's Computer Graphics employees, who work many overtime hours to produce Activision's profitable videogames, fully deserve to be paid all the overtime compensation to which they are entitled under the law ... Excessive overtime is endemic in the videogame industry, but we hope that this and other lawsuits will spur major changes in the way employers treat their employees."

    More people who get burned out ought to get guns- then maybe the corporations would begin to take a different attitude towards "deadweight". I wonder how many C-level executives would have to die to make the change?
