  • Here’s what it comes down to: negotiations based on how much money the industry makes from their work. Because without the artist, comedian, etc., their profits vanish.

    Now understand that every worker in the world could realise the same thing. That’s what unions are for, having that weight to give the employees of a company leverage and ask for a bit more of the pie that wouldn’t exist without their work. Why do you think businesses fight unions so damn hard? Because it’s easier to distract or scare enough of a worker group, mostly compared to a single artist.










  • A tactic by big money hungry studios to get you paying every few months or weeks to get meaningless content in their games, plus access to new meaningless tasks to complete (often referred to as “dailies”) to give you a few more meaningless items in game, on top of attempting to addict you with said tasks to come back for more.

    Wish I could paint it more positively, but the gaming industry is heading towards enshitification and this is a big part of it, extracting more money without providing much more content.
