Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

No they wouldn't. Their money came from the overall Annapurna empire.
That... I don't know enough about how hard banks are dicking people over these days but I can't imagine anyone with knowledge of video games wanting to go into significant debt these days.
The reality is that they would need to find financial backers. Which... are often really bad for a lot of reasons.
I wish them the best of luck. but the AP empire has already been in the process of moving games away from API and the remnants of API have a lot of challenges ahead of them. I do not doubt for a second they have something planned if they all resigned en masse but... publishers are very much more The Man than Labor.
Best case scenario? I think it is the amongus devs who have formed their own publishing corp (I know it was a game I dislike but that made more money than many small nations)? If THEY hired API that would be amazing. But... there are lot more bad actors than there are worker-ish owned collectives.
