∞ Gameloft Auckland accused of sweatshop conditions

“Some weeks I was work ing 100 to 120 hours a week”, says Glenn Watson, former Head Studio Programmer at Gameloft’s New Zealand arm. “Starting at 9:30 AM, going home at 2:30 AM, and then com ing back into the office at 8:30 AM to start work again was not unusual”.

It’s worth pointing out that Glenn Watson is fingering Gameloft Auckland as mistreating employees, specifically, and not the entire organization – though he implies the poor working conditions are a result of directives coming down from the top. Gameloft, a major iOS game publisher, has thousands of employees worldwide (they’re based in France).
