Reply to comment by CaterpillarReal7583 in Activision's Boston studio workers announce unionization by No-Drawing-6975
My 11 year old wants more than anything to be a video game programmer and stuff like this kills me. The kid is BRILLIANT to the point where we can't take him to coding camps and events locally because his skill level put him in the class with the high school kids and he is no where near emotionally mature enough for that (did I mention he was a programmer?)
I just really hope the union thing catches on by the time he is ready to start looking for a job because I've worked with people who worked at big studios and none of them have good things to say about their time there.

I don't know what the regulatory space looks like for the feds but there are regulations for a few different industries that cover mobile security. There are companies out there that just do mobile management for large mega-corps. Tens of thousands of mobile devices under management.

I have this weird ability to pick out books that get made into TV and Movies like 12-18 months after I read them. I'm really curious to see how the 2 latest Andy Weir projects are going to pan out. I found The Martian about a year and some change before the movie was announced and it was great wondering how they were going to adapt it.
Apparently The Martian made so much money as a movie that the film rights were sold on the project after that one before the book was published. His next book was so good that they not only had the rights sold but had already cast the lead actor in the movie for his second book after The Martian (Project Hail Mary) before the general public could even read/listen to it.
However the one I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to see a TV series (NOT A MOVIE) around is the Bobiverse series of books by Dennis Taylor. Those books were made of a limited run TV series with a large budget.

Fine by me. Offer to keep selling the Paks American gear and see how long the Indians stick with the same Russian junk currently littering the Ukrainian battlefield.
