He Made An Honest Game About His Work, And It Cost Him His Job
Published on January 01, 0001
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOJ0oUaDL0U Last year, we told you about I Get This Call Every Day— a depressing indie game about working in a call center. It’s a good, humanizing title about working a soulless day job. Unfortunately, the game put the developer, David S. Gallant, in hot water.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c"
}).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); https://kotaku.com/im-glad-i-played-this-depressing-game-about-working-in-5970524 Earlier today a post on The Star appeared online, claiming that a member of the Canadian government
wasn’t happy with David’s game—which featured an annoying, impossible conversation with a caller. The Star wrote:
National Revenue Minister Gail Shea is not amused. Her communications director, Clarke Olsen, sent an email to the Star Tuesday stating, “The Minister considers this type of conduct offensive and completely unacceptable. The Minister has asked the Commissioner (of pxj เข้าสู่ระบบ Revenue, Andrew Treusch) to investigate and take any and all necessary corrective action. The Minister has asked the CRA
to investigate urgently to ensure no confidential taxpayer information was compromised.” When I initially interviewed Gallant, he didn’t want to specify who he worked for. Nonetheless, it seems that players were able to figure out that he worked for the Canada Revenue Agency based on clues in the game. Somehow, word got out to his higher ups about it. Hours after The Star’s post, winner55 ทางเข้า สล็อต Gallant tweeted the following: https://twitter.com/embed/status/296388064014647296 https://twitter.com/embed/status/296388135191986178 https://twitter.com/embed/status/296394743569592320 It’s not clear if he got fired or if l86.com สล็อต he willingly left his job. I’m guessing the former. Either way, it’s sad that it had to come to this in the first place.
I Get This Call Every Day is currently on Steam Greenlight and can be purchased here.
