Realtime Worlds offers workers 'generous' benefits
The video game industry has the dubious reputation for working its talent to the bone, and in this economy many have been rewarded for their hard work with a pat on the back and a swift kick to the curb. Now Crackdown developer Realtime Worlds says that while it can't promise its employees won't work ridiculous hours, it offers workers "one of the most generous benefits packages" in the industry.
Realtime Worlds notes that it currently has over 40 positions open, jobs that will likely be filled in part by the pile of resumes the company collected during GDC. It's reassuring to see any company step up for its workers, and while devs grind their fingers down for hours on end, with paid (paid!) overtime and medical insurance at least they'll have something more to show for it than a pink slip and bloody stumps where their fingers used to be.
