I consider @virtualseasia.com one of two of the most vital institutions/resources representing Southeast Asia's games scenes. The people who run it are deeply passionate, thoughtful and good people who are doing this on their own time and dime. Please support: Kofi link here ko-fi.com/virtualseasia

What we found was one of the very worst examples of workplace abuse in the history of this industry. That may sound hyperbolic. I really don't think it is.

Here's our investigation:

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia.

Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

The video thumbnail for PMG's original documentary, showing a white, American hand clasping cash in exchange for the labour of a Southeast Asian workforce, represented here as being weighed down by their immense workload.
