The Gaming Industry | Start Here

The gaming industry’s labour force has had a year of reckoning.
The video game industry is richer than the global movie and music industries combined. And it’s still growing.
But a series of public scandals in recent years have revealed poor working conditions for the people making the games, as well as a culture that discriminates against women and minorities.
Will calls for unionization in the industry take off? The newest episode of Start Here reveals what’s going on behind the gaming screen.

This video starts from gaming industry and ends in feminism.

Disclaimer: Video is less about games and more about socio-politics

Has parallels to the start of the industrial revolution of the 1800’s - Taking advantage of workers.
I wonder if you divide a developers annual salary by the hours worked – would it be all that great?

My friend is working in gaming industry .its true. there is so much discrimination. She have to work 9-6 only one day off. This culture is literally sick. one of my friends laid off. when google shut down accounts of gaming studios.

The title is "The gaming industry" And I expect the history of gaming industry... But it's different than what I expected... This is just "Female on the gaming industry".

03:34, Anita make false claims, repeatedly, did everything she could to subvert games development (even going so far as threatening developers last year) with feminist nonsense. The majority of gamers don't like her and they don't agree with her. Asking Anita to be honest about gaming is like asking a writer from the Daily Stormer to tell you about the Holocaust.

I have a topic - are there forms of energy production prohibited only because of the social threat that they work to well and are to affordable?

[luanofortuin]

First time that I ever see a news channel talking about video game industry.
Nice I like it.

[baktashsana]

It's not only gaming industry all industries are the same ... From oil to construction and so on ... The one who work the most get almost nothing and the one who doesn't do anything get everything.

[RohitSingh-nmwd]

You guys are lucky you haven't see the toxic gaming culture and industry in sea

[Successpeace]

They should do a video on the public accounting industry - the same aspects apply in the audit and assurance profession, except its even worst than gaming industry because effectively everyone ends up making less than minimum wage considering the 80 hour work weeks.

[gorrerifranco]

Thanks for the video. It was very informative 😄

[beryalex]

i was hopping to watch Gaming Industry and ended up ads for "Me too"?

[lord]

Good brief discussion, but I think a good honest discussion also should touch on the dark side of gaming - gambling.

[misdrevenous]

Yup. I working for a major game developer/ publisher, we''re always ona crunch time.

[peteranesu]

As gamers, we respect and love women and wish people to have good working hours. But microtransactions are killing us, they're making us pay for what we have paid for.

[nizham]

Awesome topic as these harsh conditions should be exposed when big names make such profits. The profits and benefits should filter down to the coders and designers too or else it becomes a toxic culture. Great episode

[ankitjangid]

I didn't know that, heck even I want to go in gaming industry

[MegazGaming]

03:55 Sexual harassment is a genuine issue for women. Not just in the game industry.

[sohamsaha]

One day Just like Bollywood India will also have it's own Gaming Industry. And I'm sure about. It is the only Industry unlike Movies and Music that requires highly technical knowledge and also it requires the knowledge of coding. This industry is going to grow much more.
