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 a tough watch. It's a shame that this happens so frequently with barely hiding abuse in overseas workplaces.
