I'm convinced now that there is no story so earth-shattering, so horrifying, so diligently researched and expertly told that we could Upton Sinclair's The Jungle our way to a better games industry.
I disagree, but I also recognize the fundamental lede buried in this lengthy gripe piece: the law is not just. The industry isn't going to change from the top down, because the fundamental core of the games industry is the same rot that plagues every industry. There's a club of rich good ol' boys at the top whose rampant sexism and ultra-capitalism still pervades many economies, and they're able to successfully lobby the politicians that should regulate them.
But I disagree that it's ultimately fruitless. There may be no singular story that fixes things, but continued effort to bring that stuff to light has influenced people's decisions to buy into certain games or publishers. It's resulted in lawsuits that at least give some justice to the victims. It's resulted in new indie studios with good work cultures who make amazing games.
So I agree the problem still exists, but the "sunlight" they talk about isn't a panacea—it's one of many collective steps towards building a better industry.
