    Exec: breast milk for everyone!

    Also, devs stick around for it. They aren’t providing an essential service, like sticking around as a nurse in a poorly run hospital…they are creating a novelty.

        Huh? We live in a society! Do anything you want!

        They are technical knowledge workers and hold very privileged credentials in western markets.

        To be clear I’m not excusing corporate policy and such, but the same way technical engineers at oil companies are complicit in accelerated climate change, devs at shitty companies are complicit in shitty game products.

            Yup. Or coddled game devs who think they are gods gift to society.

            Game dev is real work, but it’s entirely optional.

              I never worked for big bad companies but even the “green, progressive” ones wore me down eventually, there just aren’t any companies in the modern world over a certain size that aren’t scummy one way or another. That’s why I only work for myself now.

              I almost worked in NGO but it didn’t work out in the end, I could still be curious to check that out at some point.
