What we really should support is broad labor protections and labor unions for developers. Because clearly the AAA studios donât need the excuse of high demand for features from gamers in order to abuse their people since they have been doing that for years while churning out trash titles.

Completely agreed. The issue is that gamers⢠aggressively advocate for better quality, and do not care about workplace abuse or worse products with more features. This creates the current feedback loop we have where games that are longer, have flashier features, and arenât finished at launch.
Labor unions and protections would be excellent, but isnât something that I, a non-game developer, can do much to advance, besides avocation.

I think the recent ActiBlizz situation proves that one incorrect.
Not saying that 100% of Gamers care, just saying itâs not 0% of Gamers who care.
