      sometimes I tell people about how as a game dev I occasionally had 400+ tickets (as in, Jira, Scrum, or similar) assigned to me as one time, as an individual contributor this is both common in games and totally unthinkable to anybody who groks basic Agile

      there's something a lot more pernicious at work in the games industry intersection between belief in benevolent dictatorship as a leadership strategy and a voracious appetite for misogyny

      if one believes on the one hand that making video games is such a desirable job that unpaid overtime is easily justified, and also on the other hand that women primarily exist for men's gratification, well... it's ugly the culture becomes that women are fair game for anything

      I sometimes think about GamerGate dudes and their take on Zoe Quinn being a terrible person for allegedly sleeping around would they be okay with their boss sleeping with their wife / girlfriend in exchange for a job in games? because that's more realistic than people think

      it's weird to be writing about this at this moment when the focus should be on police brutality and racial inequality but as far as what I know from my own experience, this is it

      I've also seen where certain captains of industry in games want to create diverse and work environments for queer game creators and anybody else who is not a young, white, male but in exchange they basically pay well below typical salary, which is already too low

      *diverse and safe but "safe" only in so much as people don't get attacked for their gender or race "safe" in games doesn't cover flagrant exploitation

      still, I have to recognize that relative to many other social problems, it doesn't stand out people who don't want to deal with the exploitation can just choose to leave games, and many of the skills are transferable

      I've heard video game tech is really bad as a place to work but this is . . . yeah, it sounds personal. Have you made it out? And if not, want a referral to work somewhere gaming-adjacent but with sane hours and good pay?
