Last time I talked about it in a ND thread I had people coming in to tell me how I must be young because that's how "the real world" works.

All the next generation consoles are built by slave labor. There is no good corporations in gaming.
That's not true iirc. The $50k was calculated from revenue, but I read they only get a share of profit which would be more like $4k per employee annually. Also plenty of people in the industry even at known devs make nothing at all special for a salary,

Er, this is a gross mischaracterization. Parris literally quote tweeted Jason and told him he "had an agenda" in talking about his reporting on labor conditions at CDPR. I don't think Jason's response was a good one (it was petty and fairly unprofessional) but Parris attacked his credibility directly to his face first based on nothing, meanwhile Parris is literally doing PR work for CDPR on the game.
No, he's not...
Except she clearly refuted Jason's report, acted like she didn't and didn't actually do any reporting, what're you on about?
Nope. He never mentioned her, and she started naming him and putting him on blast on Twitter.
Unless he deleted the tweet, nope he has never tweeted her. Can't find anything through Twitter's advanced search.
No, his tweet doesn't name an individual, just the podcast. (He did tag Parris the other week after Paris had screenshotted him IIRC) It's ridiculous that people would make threats and shit over this and it's infuriating. Let them hash it out like professionals.
Let's be real for a second here, Jason does not have any contacts or sources in China, and especially not in Xinjiang or with anyone who is in anyway connected to the Uighur labor camps. You cannot expect him to report on something he has no information about, no sources on, etc. Other people are reporting on this issue, who do have those contacts and the resources to actually pursue stories like this.[BBC] In China, Uighurs 'moved into factory forced labour' for foreign brands Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony

Not even Schreier.
At this point, this isn't even about reporting. Jason's report can be 100% true and the devs talking to this GI person and their experience can also be true. It's just a messy topic that working in the software industry, no one seems to know how to really talk about.
This ain't it. He's reporting *bad cases.* I don't think any reporting he's done has been anywhere near marginal on crunch. Someday maybe you'll be right and he'll go too far, but that has not happened yet. At all.
Okay, thanks. But I still don't kinda get the message or the context that I seem to missHe's a lawyer that makes law-related content about the gaming industry

Did I shill? If you look through my post history I defended Jason in this situation. There's not one time I defended crunch culture.
If Jason's is true, then Game Informer's characterization is false. He reported it accurately from devs, and Game Informer suggests it was essentially optional and overblown. That directly refutes Jason's reporting that it was not optional and that it is affecting devs there negatively, according to devs themselves. Game Informer is defending something that they don't have a defense for.
