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.

Psychological horror is what makes a game/movie for me.
Walking down a long isolated corridor WITHOUT seeing anymies can be just as scary, if not scarier than finally seeing some enemies.
Playing stuff like the original Dead Space and more recent indie titles like Slender, i found finally seeing the enemy actually relieves the tension because you know what/where it is.
Bullcrap "horror" that cheap Holywood movies make with 15yo actors that consist of the bad guy jumping out a cupboard or around a corner just does nothing for me.
Great read. It's good to see an author who is grounded in the roots in what horror truly is instead of being swayed by big budgets......
