Hollywood Writers Go on Strike, Halting Production

The film industry has evolved over many strikes and many decades into a powerful industry that sustains many workers in well-paying jobs. The wealth of the studios is built on the backs of the writers and all the other roles which keep this machine running.

Workers in the video game industry should learn from Hollywood and take a larger share of the billions made from their labor.

My understanding is that it will basically seem hard stop. No writing, nothing to sell etc. I can even imagine it would affect the places were deals get made like sit-down restaurants etc.

in the 90s this would have prompted action...now...who cares?

streaming platforms will continue to deploy media produced months ago

youtube, tiktok and other forms of entertainment are all "amateur"

this will have the unintended consequence of exposing how little impact these writers have
