An opinion piece via EGMR that is 'totally going to ruin gaming'.
Quote: "But that is that and here we are today, talking about the latest in the Feminist Frequency series of videos listed under Tropes vs Women in Video Games; this mini-series entitled Women As Background Decoration, with the second part of these videos only recently released. Naturally, the internet erupted with the usual ferocity over yet another video that is going to ruin gaming for everyone, and so on. Meanwhile, I watched it and thought to myself, “Holy hell, she actually has a goddamn point.”"
Workers at Sega of America, a division of Sega Sammy Holdings Inc., have became the first employees at a major North American video-game company to ratify a union contract, a move that may accelerate a burgeoning labor movement in an industry known for widespread instability among its work force.
The contract, ratified Tuesday, covers around 150 people across marketing and other departments at the division’s offices in Southern California. Workers will receive minimum yearly pay increases of 4% in 2024, 3% in 2025 and 2.5% in 2026 as well as a number of other benefits, Catalina Brennan-Gatica, a representative for the Communications Workers of America, said in an interview.

Worst thing that will happen is it will have a lower stock price and ceos won't get extra millions they don't really need. Other than that the company will continue on and ppl will be treated better.
The co-founders of Kaidro are very excited about their upcoming tie-in video game, and so should you.
TheGamer recently spoke with lead editor Josh Malone and senior translator Dan Sunstrum about their work localising the Like a Dragon series at Sega.
Anita Sarkeesian is an opportunist and a hustler who makes her living by stirring up controversy where there is none, deliberately antagonizing the gaming and development community in the process, then portraying herself as the victim when criticism comes her way, made worse by the fact that it's all paid for by the donations of gullible fools.
She's literally the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton of video games.
People just need stop giving her hits and ignore her, by now most people know she isn't a gamer like she says she is. Stay away and she will have to find a real job.
You know the sad thing is that the people who judge and criticize women the most are other women. From what they wear to their makeup to hairstyle, women are brutal to other women. I know they like to put on this sisterhood act, but man can they be harsh.
I know a ton of women would watch this video and the one thing they would say is "What is she wearing? A button up PLAID shirt?? What is she, a lumberjack? And she is supposed to speak for me??"
Whether they're "mean girls" in school or overly critical moms who judge other moms on everything, it's obvious that there's more to be concerned with than some guys voicing extreme opinions in a comments section.
And yes, a lot of times women are overly sexualized in games. And men are often depicted as brutal, uncaring psychopaths. Both are extremes.
I bet she makes a mean sammich.
i love the double standard in feminism
"women should be able to wear as skimpy clothes as they want without criticism or harassment. the female body is beautiful and should not be hidden"
"all these women in skimpy clothes in the media is degrading and dehumanizing and shows that there is something deeply wrong and sexist about our culture"
apparently if we men like seeing the female body that means there is something wrong with us. Its not like its basic biology or anything
