Games Industry Death Watch 2010-present
ThePerm:
I wish Nintendo kept track of some of these. Especially Crytek. Some ex-goldeneye staff work there. RARE-FREERADICALS-CRYTEK UK.
Nintendo should do another British Spy game. I've been watching a lot of James Bond Lately. Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer, Jack Burton. Joanna Dark was ok. How about Justin Bieber, James Brolin, Josh Brolin, Jack Black, Jason Biggs, Jimmy Buffet, James Brown, Jim Beam , Jason Bateman, or George Bush?
If I were simply mixing names I'd go with Justin Black. He refuses to wear any other color.
I could go on to DEATH with these names.
oohhboy:
Crytek is on life support. I wonder how this will impact Star Citizen which is a **** show as it is.

Phil:
I hope Crytek is forced to pay all those employees who haven't been paid in months.

Sounds like perfectly obscure places to ignore basic standards of decency and labor laws. Game journalists need to do a better job of holding these people accountable and letting in the sunlight.

This is a sort of why bother, the US is pretty damn slack about labour rights and depending on state a pretty low floor especially with right to work states(What a joke of a name)
EA only changed their labour policies after the internet outrage from EA mother stating the horrible conditions. So I expect most other companies to be the same, just with nicer offices.
They do get to pay them a lot less as the cost of living compared to the US is pretty low so they can treat them better compared to their US counter parts with less pay.
