Clickbaity title, I know, but it’s an important topic. This is a followup to this video about the crunch culture in Southeast Asian outsourcing studios used by many AAA developers.
This one is specifically about toxic workplace environment rife with physical and mental abuse towards employees, with receipts and video evidence so beware if that’s something you’re unable to stomach.

This was brutal to watch in an already grim reality of 2025, but an important one. This is not just a remote, 3rd world problem (as if that was an excuse) - this is how our AAA games are made.
This was a tough watch. It’s a shame that this happens so frequently with barely hiding abuse in overseas workplaces.
Lets hope the slowly expanding union movement within the industry reaches more countries in the future (yes, I’m aware this isn’t a game dev only problem in Indonesia but hey, change needs to start somwhere).
If i don’t forget, or fall asleep…i’ll watch this when i get home.
