Just stumbled upon this story and though I'd share it with you people:

What do you guys think?

Rich corporations try to squeeze every ounce of productivity out of their employees or ship the jobs to cheaper countries with no laws. So, it's not surprising that game developers have bad work conditions for their employees. That's why unions were formed in the past, to protect workers. But now, companies that are already profitable just pack up to some other country to avoid giving workers their fair share.

Well, I have to admit that Jason Rubin's article about 4A Games was kind of corny.
After the successful release of BioShock Infinite and subsequent Kevin Levine's world-acclaim, it seems like some game developers want to go "rock star" (just look at John Romero and Cliffy-B, they've always behaved like that). However, most developers prefer to keep a low profile, like the people at 4A games (and many more).

Anyway, I just finished playing Metro:LL and I thought it was an amazing experience from beginning to end. It's sort of weird that we still don't have a thread going "unrequested thoughts on Metro: Last Light"
Seriously, M:LL, albeit some minor things that might bother some (cut-scenes), is the closest thing to a masterpiece.
