They can put it on their resume but with out their name there's no proof they did any work. You can now put it on your resume and pretend you did it because no one is named.
It's done out of fear someone else might know who did their work and someone else might hire them, so by not naming them they weaken the employees chance of getting work elsewhere.
Stop defending this shit, this is a company dehumanizing their employees and your taking the companies side?
If you think this is dehumanizing, you got some rough lessons when you join the workforce. That being said, I'm not defending it in the least. I just think it's minuscule in the grand scheme of 'bad things a company can do to its workers' and if anything should teach the translators to get it in any future contracts. But then again, I'm in compliance management. I've seen companies discard poultry machines because they had a guard removed and they wanted to hide that from OSHA (and lawyers) to 'improve throughput' that then eventually cut a woman's hand half off, then fire employees who told OSHA who and why the guard was removed. Not getting your name credited on some work, OHTEHNOES THE TRAGEDY!! Fuckin grow up.
Let me know when you create something worth while or assist with that.
You're speaking like a child who has never seen the real world. I worked in the games industry for 12 years. Trust me getting your name in the credits is a major thing, and being excluded is dehumanizing. It doesn't matter that there's worst thing, not getting the credit for your work is absolutely unacceptable, and you sill are somehow trying to defend it.
Gross.
Stick to the gaming industry I guess. Not understanding that questioning something and saying there are much worse issues does not = defending. You might be better served pushing your compatriots to actually, I don't know, get things they want in their contracts. My guess is you're a late teen early 20s person working at gamestop for 12 years and feels that equals 'working in the industry for 12 years.' Good on you tho!
I worked on saints row red faction guerilla and Armageddon and another seven games. Now sit down and learn something about how the world actually works. You know why I can claim I worked on all those games? Because I have actual credits on each one.
And I'm forty, next time you want to act like you know something pay attention. We are talking about the games industry so what I said matter, what you have said was insulting and continues to be so
Grow up kid. One day you'll realize there's more than siding with corporations who will use you up
Sure ya are, son! And repeating incorrect assumptions ad nauseam doesn't make them correct. Siding with corporations? Acting like you know something because you don't pay attention, much?
