It's been interesting showing how horrendous these guys are at their job simply by a city that is not only working together to make their lives hell, but it's also a city with literal ice everywhere.
People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

A friend once told me he crunched from the time his daughter was born until she was 12. He took a new job so he could spend the next 5 years building a relationship with her.

But he’ll never get those 12 years back. He missed her childhood, and for what? A 91 Metacritic?
In my books, I talk about a writer who has holes in his memory from crunch. Forever. He's never getting that part of his memory--his life!--back. And for what? A video game.

The go-to number for a mid tier composer for games is $1000/min of finished music.

Im sure you've heard that for a...while, As far back as 2016!!
www.gamedeveloper.com/audio/budget...

It's been 10 years, with inflation that number is $1367/min

I repeat: $1367 per minute of finished music.

At times, Unbeatable feels like it's going to break into a million pieces.

And despite that, Unbeatable is one of the most heartfelt celebrations of art and humanity I've ever experienced. The inimitable spark of the human soul reverberates through every fiber of its being. Wonderful game.

They want you to see this and unionize less. You may be next, etc etc, the fear.
But the lesson must be: Unionize MORE. One team, one department, one studio protected? Shut down. *Every* studio protected? They can't shut them all down (without trashing the shareholder value, their only KPI).
