The mobile games market may have began its meteoric rise with casual swipe and tap titles, but as smartphone and tablet hardware has advanced, a new category of immersive 3D games has emerged. Games like Dead Trigger and Modern Combat 4 are pushing the limits of what mobile devices are capable of, and while classifying them as "console quality" would be disingenuous, the gap is certainly narrowing. But these graphically rich experiences are outgrowing the limitations of the touchscreen gaming, leading companies like Power A to develop an alternative. Last year, it introduced the Moga — a compact controller that clipped onto Android devices, effectively turning smartphones into a Nintendo DS-style handheld.
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.
