Actually, it was working at one specific studio I will not name. The working conditions were absurd - a low rent building with no ceiling between the workers and the roof, the roof had birds that routinely crapped on people's heads and not a single thing was done about it. The building was surrounded by homeless camps, and going to lunch was both risky and overly expensive as the places to eat were all high end hipsters joints. The studio owners openly discussed how much money they were making (tens of millions) while being aggressive dicks to all their staff. At one point there was an "engine crisis" and one of the lead engineers fixed the situation by bringing in his own home made game engine from before being hired, and he recreated the in-production game himself over the weekend to prove his engine could handle the situation - the studio owners refused to pay him for his engine and threated legal action if he took it back.

That was it. I was openly showing management displeasure and they found a reason to fire me soon thereafter. I went into VFX and never looked back.

As far as a future for the games industry - they need a whole #I_was_enslaved_too movement. I won't even get into the difficultly in getting anyone in the game industry to recognize the need for better industry ethics across the board - in every aspect, every nook and every cranny of the industry it is corrupted pretty extreme.
