You’re like the retarded lady I work with who is in our union but dislikes the union. She gets all the benefits of our collective bargaining but dislikes how we collective bargain.
I have free healthcare and I get a lot of time off with plenty of savings help from the employer. So my pension looks great.
My younger cousin was in his first year of college, and he told me he wanted to make video games. I told him about how hard the industry is on developers, and encouraged him to look into other careers. He eventually changed his mind and picked something else (something programming related, I forget what exactly).
He’s a really bright and creative guy, and we’ll never know what awesome game he could have helped make, if I hadn’t talked him out of it. So it can be hard to see what we’re missing sometimes.
You see, when you look past the sales figures and hype men you eventually come across dozens or hundreds of talented people who create the actual art and entertainment that we all enjoy.
A good work environment means more talented and artistic people will continue to make the things that we enjoy.
They’ll be required to pay their employees appropriately and provide benefits, as their talent pool will now collectively bargain for these things. Hundreds of people negotiating as one instead of everyone for themselves.
Industries are made of people. People require goods and services. Goods and services are purchased with currency. Currency can be extracted from companies more effectively with the use of collective bargaining.
Employees get more correct levels of pay, everybody’s happier, better product because joy existed in the building because it’s not poisoned by greed. Management is still very well off. Everybody wins.
How is this going to benefit the gaming industry?

Fairly paid talent will produce better games.

I don’t understand all the down voting. I’m genuinely curious, thanks to the people who explained.
By unionizing the gaming industry.

I wish worker owned cooperatives were the norm, it’s like this but maxed out
Good developers can work there?
