  It’s… not supposed to make the game better? It’s supposed to make working conditions for the team better.

    Besides, better working conditions for the team means more mentally healthy workers means a better and more creative product.

    I never said it was to make the game better, only that it probably won’t.

      You said it’s not going to make the game better, so is the implication not that it’s supposed to make the game better somehow?

        Alright bud, I’m just gonna ignore ya.

        Goodbye.

        Glad I’ve gotten pretty good at identifying the insufferable people that just aren’t worth engaging with.

      So you just go and post an off-topic rant, because you feel like those people, whose vast majority works to feed their family, do not deserve to have better working conditions?

      Do you even realize how narcissistic you sound like?

        Lol, what?

        Seek help.

    It would be nice if this improved the game or resulted in better games, but I won’t hold my breath.

        Hey just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your perspective. I know that unions result, in general, in better working conditions. However me as a customer not only supporting such companies, if I choose so, but also benefitting from better products in general is a nice perspective. food for thought!

        Did not know Tillamook was employee-owned. Their ice cream is great, now I have a reason to prioritize buying from them.

        Ok. It’s nice that you believe that unionizing is guaranteed to make better products no matter what.

        I still think it won’t improve the game as they’ve been listening to the wrong people for too long.

        But hey, maybe they can make a new game that’s good.
