So they're on suicide watch after Baldur's Gate 3? Got it.

What's the point of a union if you just get dropped anyway? The industry is an embarrassment.

EA also has playtesters that they don't pay they just give you some games.

I mean if its just playing it normally and not proper testing (run there and jump while spamming the inventory key until the game breaks kind of testing) then that's a pretty sweet deal

As student with nothing better to do and in a time of better EA games yes, nowadays? I wouldn't recommend it. I heard people played deadspace 1 to the end and got like 8 games back in the day.

Even playing it normally should earn you more. It's EA, they have a lot of money. And the most common bugs and ux problems can be noticed by playing a game normally. If Blizzard made Diablo 4 to be tested normally, most of the things people complained about wouldn't have been there from the start.

There's anti-union busting laws that are supposed to disallow a company from blatantly targeting unionized employees. But they're worthless if not used to take the company to court. Starbucks has been up to the same thing: when a store unionizes they mysteriously select it to close.
