Tee Hee Hee, indeed, lol

I am the spouse of a physician and I want to point out that physicians are being treated by hospitals exactly the way game coders were created back in 2004. They are basically free employees running the hospital during residency, expected to take care of patients lives while on little to no sleep and be responsible for the most mundane administrative insurance paperwork while also ensuring every lab value is addressed and documented. It's a terrible industry and part of the reason for the high cost of healthcare as well as the enormously high error rate in hospitals.

Thinking about this scenario, I involuntarily have to imagine the comments about women in games industry and public live in general, pushed by tech bros and other amoebas. Then I very much want to piss on their door, with napalm. Great video though, keep it up.

Spouse of a medical professional too. Can confirm.

Who else thinks that game publishers will make people work for years on a project then cancel it and fire everyone just for the tax break like what happened to the WW game?

As stoked as I am to see this series brought to FR, this one was infinitely depressing on the whole.

If only the entire USA had a loving spouse to blow the whistle on an endlessly abusive relationship

I'm still weirded out by how many people CONTINUE to be surprised by this kind of thing in 2025. Or defend the Megacorps as "just doing what they're legally allowed to" but then shouting down any attempts or even suggestions of any regulations that would stop, or even curtail, them. It's the perfect little ouroborus of bullshit, except the snake is running out of its own tail after 40 unchecked years.

I joined EA a few years ago and I actually rather like it here. I sometimes have to pester some of my team members because they've accrued too much PTO and could they please take some downtime before they burn out. No one here expects artists or engineers to "Bleed CompanyName Blue". And the culture is quite ethical and supportive, even rigidly so. So, as far as I can tell, EA *has* learned from past mistakes. Even the "MICROTRANSACTIONS BAAAAD!" one.
