Considering game companies are more often than not asking people to move cities to work for them, having some protections is incredibly important.
I've been personally fired before and didn't have full rights at the time and lemme tell you, when you're on a visa those rights are important.

I barely got over the 2 year threshold at a studio in my career because, I shit you not, I got ousted from my first role in the industry 1 year and 11 months in.
Why the heck
Why the heck
One of the reasons I'm so interested in getting full rights the first day of employment is I've been seeing more and more games industry companies firing workers for bullshit reasons before their probation is up.
So they're giving one-week pay and notice after 6-9 months of work.

Much will be said about this, but I can't help but think that the biggest losers will be seasonal agricultural workers.
The six-month threshold is meaningless since their visa forces them to leave the country before it kicks in. It will remain completely legal to sack them unfairly at any time.

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".
