The Last Of Us game director Bruce Straley has claimed that not being credited on HBO‘s television adaptation is “an argument for unionisation” in the games industry.
Straley’s comments were made within an interview using the Los Angeles Times, which highlights that Straley isn't credited on HBO’s adaptation of The Last Of Us despite being one of the source material’s leading creators.
Straley says his insufficient credit has prompted him to think about the workers’ rights in the market, which his snub is “a disagreement for unionisation that somebody who had been area of the co-creation of this world and people characters isn't getting a credit or a nickel for the work installed in it.”
“Maybe we want unions in the video game industry so that you can protect creators,” Straley added. Over the last few years, numerous unions happen to be founded at major studios – including Warzone developer Raven Software, Blizzard Albany, and Bethesda parent company ZeniMax.
Last year, Straley announced the development of his new studio titled Wildflower Interactive; which he says “has to be inclusive, equitable and collaborative.”
HBO’s The Last of Us adaptation debuted on Sunday (January 15). The premiere drew a crowd of four.7million viewers, which makes it the second-largest debut in HBO history – ranking only behind Bet on Thrones spin-off House From the Dragon.
While we awarded the “apocalyptically good” show four stars from five in our review, viewers happen to be warned of scams targeting newer The Last Of Us fans. Underneath the guise of promoting copies of the game criminals are using the series’ new wave of recognition to steal banking details from would-be buyers.
In other gaming news, Ubisoft’s CEO has apologised for comments a French union labelled “worrying” earlier in the week.
