Description
The gaming industry's hidden workforce is revealed in this Marxist analysis of the sector. Jamie Woodcock explores the vast networks of artists, software developers, and factory workers whose labor contributes to the products we consume. By examining the role of video games in contemporary capitalism, Woodcock sheds light on broader transformations of work and economy. He argues that game-play itself can be seen as a commentary on estrangement from modern forms of work, offering a fresh perspective on this often-neglected sector.
