The gaming industry’s labour force has had a year of reckoning.
The video game industry is richer than the global movie and music industries combined. And it’s still growing.
But a series of public scandals in recent years have revealed poor working conditions for the people making the games, as well as a culture that discriminates against women and minorities.
Will calls for unionization in the industry take off? The newest episode of Start Here reveals what’s going on behind the gaming screen.

Wow, people at Al Jazeera really mastered the art of media persuation, great job ! Now, how about a video discussing migrant workers rights in Quatar, or maybe sudden journalists deaths ? Good job, good job.
The narrative is a copy from Hasah Minhaj’s video.
Talk about zoe and anitta, but not the real issues like microtransactions.
Good job 👍
See I am not sure about harassment related to women as it’s not related to game industry but still a really bad thing.
But if you are asking why females are not much employed in the game industry so the simple answer is that Majority of female gamers are just casual gamers who play mobile games, social games, candy crush and cooking games,etc. as they prefer those simple games mostly an that’s why those are not anyways passionate about games so much that they will turn it into a carer.
They just thereselves don’t choose game development as a field, so yeah that’s not point as it’s not common to find a girl interested in this field. So yeah~
Thanks for the video. It was very informative 😄
Some day,
‘Lets talk’ about how graceful Sandra Gathmann is and how beautifully she does her show
creep
@@fernando4725 Admirer if you may. Stay positive, stay blessed.
Misleading title.
You change everything to end up with feminism
The new playstation consul is so dope! Lol
They should do a video on the public accounting industry – the same aspects apply in the audit and assurance profession, except its even worst than gaming industry because effectively everyone ends up making less than minimum wage considering the 80 hour work weeks.
Ya great at games and can’t tie their shoe laces
BULLSHIT video.
Hi

Please.
今天穿了一身黑色长裙,太美了!

I had like you to do a video on quantum computing
The closed accelerator sicily head because spade lally fool than a outstanding tub. present, uncovered turkey
Freefire 🤩
LoL ,even aj give misleading thumbnail
When you begin to lose interest in gaming.. That mean you have reach adulthood and live in reality..
let’s see in next 20 years, shall we?
Wow dude. We shall see that later.
Form talks about gaming industry to somewhere you was not expecting about.
👍
I’ve never clicked on a Youtube video with a title about feminism and had them say “Let’s take a moment to stop talking about women and talk about video games” so don’t do the reverse. P.S. I disagree.
crunch lol try working in the food industry. there’s a reason there’s so much coke and adaral being used
I love Start Here and this was a well researched video, which I liked. Though I feel the title is slightly misleading as it goes onto women in the gaming industry.
The realities are quite harsh for them. The working conditions and layoffs are also disheartening to hear
I’m not going to listen to a woman tell me about video games.
Al Jazeera is “fighting” for women’s rights 😂😅
Unfortunately identity politics sabotage the gaming industry union
Which makes customers turn off
Gosh even this topic is already picked by feminists…
1:25 how to do that text effect guys please help!! I want to do this in my video too
what is the woman rates of gamers?? i assume less than 10%. so is that so weird that women dont work for to make a game that they will never play?? i mean you have to know your job and to like it. if you dont play games then how you would like to create them??? THAT IS NOT RACISM
and i assume that payment have to do with skills and production rates not by gender..
One day Just like Bollywood India will also have it’s own Gaming Industry. And I’m sure about. It is the only Industry unlike Movies and Music that requires highly technical knowledge and also it requires the knowledge of coding. This industry is going to grow much more.
But I find the gaming industry absolutely absurd.
@@ORiGiN-ip1kk why do we even need games? There’s no need of it. Children are nowadays spending more time on GTA than their online lectures.
Don’t you just want to learn how to write for a gaming start up and then you realize as this video goes on and on, it’s about feminism?
Let’s create a navy seal game where u got to get ur self out of tough situations and conquer ur fear
Bobby Kotik and Ryan Wilson could have kept thousands of employees hired minus their greed
This video is honorably sponsored by feminists
Money to fund against men, but no fund for women gaming industry
The bottom line is women can’t dominant in any thing and they never ever will and the proof is this video that has nothing to do with sexual harassment !!! To all women stop f****** whining about everything
That lady from Feminist Frequency has a major problem – using questionable methods and sources to have her way.
I mean at first she was portrayed as the iron willed woman going up against a Male dominated industry. The minute she gets clap back – which is something you will *alway* get when you go around provoking people – she becomes a victim.
The UN even gave her an opportunity to present her case and guess what they said? “No, because she presented information from questionable sources.”
In summary, the industry has a problem. But the way to fix it is not by provoking people and acting like a victim when there’s clap back. There are far more constructive ways of doing so. E.g. criticizing by creating.
And also lost how the video went from talking about gaming to talking about women🤨🤦♂️
6000$? LOL. Other professionals in India make over 20,000 USD as freshers. And these freshers are not even from IITs and other top colleges. Those guys make close to 100k USD, and even higher if they work abroad.
Most people in the game industry (or any for that matter) get used….Prob what most people want to do (but fear) is being the boss/content “creator”
I also find it weird that these media houses take whatever women say at face value.
this aljazeera is a lame news network
amazing. Feminism is truly a cancer.!
Everyone talking about industry but not culture. How the change of culture results in more addiction and a change of youth culture and false aspiration. Paired with stuff like youtube and so on. Its all abou the fun but not about the consequences
As Indian can earn $6000 and compare to US it’s big difference (>= $10000) is literally double we are in different country
Of course the bosses will say you don’t need Unions, cause they don’t want workers fighting for better working conditions.
hey men face crunch too??
wtf was that ??
I like her
🌞
CRINGE!!!
Wait, if employees are working 70 hours a week who contribute to the development of a game,, who’s making all the money?
Also, it’s sad that gaming industry is THE most profitable. The world as we know it is invested and investing in an activity that mostly has a negative impact on people’s lives.
Don’t know how it is a start here guide. All they are talking about is crunch culture and adding more female workers. And google is recommending to the top of the search results “how to create a game industry”. That’s why I don’t love these news channels
You guys dont know anything unless you have got into a multiplayer mordern warfare lobby
I dont care
You guys are lucky you haven’t see the toxic gaming culture and industry in sea
of course these socalled woke women complain, because they know that they can no longer use their looks and body in an industry that is built on raw brain power and therefor got shut out of this profit. so they complain.
Exciting to know that Al Jazeera wants Woman Equality in Game Industry, We want it too.
But we also want woman equality in Afghanistan unlike Al Jazeera.
Pause at 0:22
Women are not being mistreated, they are actually welcome in the video game industry. The real reason why women are the minority in the gaming industry is because there are not a lot of women that choose the type of job. Few women have chosen to enter this market. It has nothing to do with bias or mistreatment of women.
If you come forward with allegations of rape and harassment, and I don’t doubt it’s there at all, it’ll result in less companies hiring women. I would love to hire women, I love girls cute energy and spirit, naivety, innocence and optimism, but if there’s a risk of being accused, would rather not.
Thailand politic turmoil topic too
peopl who ingonre the video dont know potencial in the gamming industry you could be a millinair or evne a billionair
and yes with a B
lol that blizzard bit aged poorly to say the least
Didn’t know Zoe Quinn works as developer. What game has she work on?
This sounds like a bunch of bulllshit to me
Being a guy I really want to see women work in the games industry. I was also really upset to hear that women receive harassment in their working environment. Nobody has to feel that way and if I could snap my fingers and stop that once and forall I would. But, that only happens in games. Anyways, good luck to everybody and I hope and I prey that you people get through it and become amazing at your job! This industry is full of amazing and ambitious people (for the most part) so yeah! Great video!
Here is a fair treatment idea. Make Mario game in reverse. Call it Maria. Plot. Maria has to save Mario from all kinds of monsters.
Haha I surprise when I saw this type of video in ALzazira
I hope Microsoft buys out every major game companies out there, it is the only way.
There was a job in the industry I would love a game tester where you find bugs within the game that are fixed Collision detection also
You should really change the name of this video to women in the gaming industry so I know not to watch it next time
The thumbnail showed a woman smirking. It was pretty obvious what it was going to be about
fake news
India should rise the salary to $10,000 a year…. Being billionaire owning small game publishers good. It’s like Unity vs. Unreal engine team.
4:21 I know, I KNOW, I’m not helping the topic of the video BUT.. Rosa Cabo-Mascarell.. Yo.. She’s a beauty! She can come chill and play Classic games in HD with me Anytime. 😅
Just sayin’.
mme farines lpb
STAND UNITED GAMERS!
Oooowe
The game industry became a bunch of Snakes with wack games on the Market
F feminism. I’m here for video games, feminism is satanic manipulative hypocrisy based around victimization, deflection, shame, guilt, ignorance, need to be right and attention seeking.
Cringe and bias-pilled
Once again playing victims
What technology game development companies use to shoot character movement and their emotions ..?
Her voice is just………😳
Really bad documentary. Doesn’t say anything.
Wtf is this I’m trying to research networking plans not feminism
1:17
hahaha non-binary marginalized? tell me more
3:52 not needed to watch beyond this bs
This video is much valuable for my research article !
Wouldn’t mind a documentary speaking about the gaming industry, but this video some how squeezed the issue into portraying it as a problem involving women inequality?
I’m sure men suffer from the industry as well, or is it some kind of taboo to display men in that manner?
Would have enjoyed to see how the world’s most growing industry that gathers 660 million views influences and effects the people in the long run, that’s real journalism.
The 7 minute video felt like it was just touching the surface of things, could’ve been more deeper.
I am having a ideas for games developing new game for the people not addicted for the game i am from India …..

Stop deleting comments
Don’t waste your time watching this.
I remember actual good gaming journalism.
Harassment and toxic work culture isnt just a women’s issue. It is wide spread and so common in gaming industry as developers are pushed to their absolute limit of a break down. But ofc, it is only women who get the attention cuz they play the victim card more
Why do you want to relate every industry to womens raping ?? It’s really bullshit 💩
Title correction: Gaming Industry Should have Feminisms
Perfect tutorial and nice presentation of information. The steps described in the video are easy to follow and it really works. Thanks for sharing.
Not enough crunch.
Is this a vital industry to begin with?
Love you my dear
