  2. Unions make US brands look elsewhere on US Labor Organization AFL-CIO Urges Game Developers To Unionize In Open Letter (gamasutra.com) · · Score: 0

    Who wants to pay a US "game" professional union wages?
    With overtime?
    English speaking nations with different tax laws and exchange rates exist.
    Their workers can code and can be further educated to new learn game code.
    Their university system educates on merit. Math and code. Their artists can paint, draw, animate. They have musicians ready for any type of game.
    Their nations gov will offer code education, great tax concessions to attract any type of new US investment and no US style activity.
    Low cost housing, low crime, clean streets, a supportive government, healthcare and low tax rates to attract US investment.
    Contrast that with a CA, its living and working conditions, changing tax rates and gov who wants to fully regulate your employee cafeterias.
    Well educated english speaking nations are ready and waiting for the US to go full union and will be accepting of US brands setting up new workforces.

    No protests, no demands, no direct action, no flying picket, no grievance procedure, no social media at the picket line, no sympathy strike, no work to rule.


    Who would risk their digital brand and digital support reputation by telling users who buy their game software that all support is out on a sympathy strike?
    That GPU support will take months due to another strike in the USA?
    That the needed patch to keep a game working will be weeks late due to wage issues and US union demands?
    That a game that has to be ready and that all the creative media release work says will be ready is not ready due to a strike?

    The brand and investors took all the risk in digital game production.
    Now they have to give it all away to unions? Thats future investment lost to wage demands.
    Go full union, see how that works out for US code jobs. Nations can learn to code and their wages/gov will attract US investment away from US union workers.

    What is missing?

    Put that in front of a 4K, 5K display and see what frame rate ARM can do...

    The missing part is the "write" the code part.
    Someone smart with skills has to write a lot of really good new 3D code and keep it updated.
    A fun big project for someone who can code.

    Take the same time, money and effort and see what Windows 10, Nvidia and Intel have ready now.
    Want to get a project started on Windows 10 with full support?
    Use an engine and get a story and content ready in months.

    Get that real I/O? DDR4 memory? PCI-Express? At a low price with a real fast new desktop ready CPU?
    Want to try a server or a mobile CPU on that desktop?

    Windows 10 has all that ready with Nvidia, Intel, and AMD.

    Work history, clearances, mil, education, insurance use, passports, decades of work, years of education and what type of education.
    Generations of US data now in use has to be consistent over generations and decades.
    How many people who can afford world travel/education with no digital past exist?
    A few people in cults and faith groups with not much state/federal ID to be given a fake/altered ID?
    That would hold as a person with no past.
    A passport that has to match an average life story? Languages and education? NGO charity work going back years?
    A average reason to be in another nation that fits in with wealth, when they got a passport, past work, education level.
    The problem for the CIA is another nation now has that years of US work history and that name/past cant be created/reused.
    In the past other nations had a quick social media search, hired a private detective in the USA for names that had to be looked into.
    Altered data would be ready and the CIA digital fiction would hold.
    Now nothing old can be changed for years. A new generation has to be created over a decade to allow for US spy pasts to be faked.

    Background checks are going to have to be much more creative and other nations gov/mil can do the same in real time.
