I've been following this story since yesterday. With 23 pages of comments (as of right now) the stories of lives not just ruined, but lost due to insane management practices--well, it's heartbreaking.

EA Spouse

Seems that someone has blown the whistle on the games industry. While I know that there are far worse situations out there, and we could spend all day playing that game. However, the writer's complaint is well-reasoned, with examples, and thoughtful.

Having experienced this world through my adventures with Hato-kun, I don't doubt the validity of many of ea_spouse's claims.

I do know that it's not just one company abusing its employees. The industry is rife with abuse.

In my case, I've seen it take a man from being wonderful, caring, and generous to someone whose become so alienated that they can't conceive of having any sort of a long-term relationship. It's fucked--but it sure as hell is nice to know that I'm not the only one who's struggled with this.

I'm not insane...hallelujah!
