I know they gotta get paid or whatever, but when Geoff casually announces the winners of 3 categories in the space of a minute, but then they have 10 minutes of bullshit afterwards, the show is a joke.

honestly I doubt the video game awards wouldn't exist without the advertisement bullshit

It's not like the oscars where they're bankrolled by studios

it's weird

oh wow

nolan north is makign this political and throwing SAGAFTRA under the bus

which I agree, more power to the programmers and developers
 
I feel it should be more like "maybe we should look at how we shouldn't treat developers like shit also."

yeah

He's pretty much saying that the developers/programmers are just as important if not more important than the voice actors

Which I mean, they are because they make the game. But it's also throwing the strikers under the bus in a way, because instead of using his voice to amplify their protests, he uses it to amplify the devs/programmers.
 
lol fuck Nolan North. He could've said "hey developers ALSO deserve better treatment/pay" but no, he straight up threw his own people under the bus. What a dick.
 
Devs should unionize, too.

unlike actors or voice actors

programmers/developers are dime a dozen. It's rare that you get someone like Cliffy B or Kojima who can pull alot of weight and have really stood out.

If devs/programmers created a union, they would have to spontaneously establish a union across all companies. that's thousands of people just one day saying 'btw we're in a union now, and we won't work till you meet our terms'.

It would have to be a spontaneous thing. And I just don't think there would be an agency ready to represent thoursands of thousands of programmers straight out of college, in a way where their demands would have to be met.
