Foxconn Exploitation: The Cost of Tech?

Posted Jan 11, 2012 at 3:02PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: foxconn, xbox 360

Workers threaten suicide over conditions at Microsoft and Apple factories.

If you’ve never heard of Foxconn, here’s a quick primer: The company, based out of Wuhan, China, is the primary manufacturer of some of the most popular digital devices in the world. Foxconn employees piece together Apple devices and Microsoft game consoles, and they do so in terrible working conditions and for very low wages.

Things are so bad at Foxconn that the company installed safety nets around its on-campus housing structures to help limit the suicide rate of employees. And this week, news broke that indicates things aren’t getting much better over in Wuhan.

According to a Chinese news website, workers at Foxconn demanded an increase in salary. Instead, they were given two options: quit with severance pay, or continue to work at the current rate. The workers that quit never received their promised compensation, and over 300 of them took to the roof of a building and threatened a mass suicide.

Over the next 24 hours, the workers were eventually talked down – by the mayor of Wuhan. The incident was such a big deal that, according to one Chinese news source, it caused Xbox 360 production to be temporarily shut down. Everything seems to be under control now, but there’s no word on whether those employees received their promised pay.

This is just the latest incident involving Foxconn, and one of hundreds of examples of people being put through the ringer simply so we can enjoy our digital toys. Of course, companies like Microsoft depend on cheap labor to keep their price points low, and we depend on low price points to purchase all of the cool things we want. The question is whether there’s a safe balancing point – one that allows goods to remain relatively cheap, but doesn’t depend entirely on exploited labor.

What do you think? Are you concerned with how your electronic products are manufactured?

Who Wants to Make Ponies Fight?

Posted Oct 8, 2011 at 12:54PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: mane6, mlp: fighting is magic, my little pony

Fan-developed My Little Ponies fighting game straddles the line between very cute and very, very unsettling.

My Little Ponies is generally considered one of the most overly cute franchises on earth. The entire point of the toys was to overwhelm children with their cuteness, who would in turn overwhelm their parents with demands that the toys be taken home. Essentially, the product sold based on cuteness alone. Now indie developer Mane6 is taking the Ponies crew somewhere they’ve never been – brutal fights to the death.

MLP: Fighting is Magic actually looks pretty smooth, and though it is a fighting title it doesn’t come off as overly violent. I would wager it’s about as cute as two ponies fighting could be, and it’s only in alpha right now. Who knows how much cuteness Mane6 can pack into the title before its release to the public and subsequent shutdown for copyright infringement?

The video clip also doesn’t indicate whether we can expect to see pony-theme finishing moves, such as knocking someone out with a rainbow or hugging someone until they fall gently asleep. I doubt there will be any gory violence, as the game seems dedicated to keeping things as cuddly as possible. In fact, it’s nice to see an indie developer that isn’t making a play to the Mortal Kombat crowd by turning this generally friendly franchise into an overly stylized bloodbath.

So far, MLP: Fighting is Magic has been confirmed as having both online and single-player modes. Mane6 is playing the rest of the details fairly close to the chest.

If you want to participate in the making of the game, Mane6 is currently looking for voice actors. You can check out the details right here.

Are you interested in a My Little Pony fighter, or are you too cool for a little cute?

THQ gets Voltron

Posted Feb 15, 2011 at 4:59AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags:

A huge fan of transforming robots? If you are, then this should be great news for you. Publisher THQ has reportedly picked up the rights to Voltron, the 1980s classic cartoon.

This will be the first time that the cartoon series gets a video game adaptation. Reportedly, this venture will complement the upcoming new animated series from the same franchise, which should come later this Fall.

Actually, the animated TV show's deal got locked in place first. According to Variety, World Event Prods. signed a toy deal with Mattel and with Nicktoons for the show. And then they tapped THQ for the video game series.

The resurrected Voltron is expected to build on the original storyline from Voltron: Defender of the Universe. The animated series is said to have 26 half-hour episodes, so that should be about enough to keep you busy when not playing the video game version.

Voltron had five space explorers manning robotic lions to save the universe from evil forces.

For posterity's sake, or in case you weren't born yet to enjoy Voltron, here's a video for you:
