“If you’re receiving taxpayer funding, then whether or not you’re able to discriminate shouldn’t even be on the table.”

We knew that Fallout 76 was going to be the main attraction at Bethesda’s E3 press conference, and the company certainly didn’t disappoint in that regard. Bethesda’s Todd Howard took the stage to talk at length about Fallout 76 tonight, and in doing so, he gave us a much better idea of what to expect from the game. He also … Continue reading

At the tail end of Bethesda’s E3 2018 press conference this evening, Todd Howard made a whopper of an announcement, confirming once and for all that The Elder Scrolls VI is indeed a thing that exists. At this point, we’re not sure how far along in development it is (if it’s in active development at all), but we do know … Continue reading

Due to the fact that a lot of tech companies outsource the production and manufacturing of their products to countries such as China, sometimes it would be difficult to keep on top of things, such as whether or not their partners are paying their workers properly and whether or not there have been any labor violations.

Apple has run into some problems in the past and now it looks like Amazon could be facing some issues as well. In a report from The Guardian, it seems that one of Amazon’s suppliers has been found out to have violated certain labor laws where they hired an illegally high number of agency workers and found that they were not paying them properly for overtime.

This was revealed in an investigation by The Observer and the China Labor Watch. Amazon has since admitted to these violations and stated that they actually discovered these violations during an audit back in March 2018. According to Amazon, “We immediately requested a corrective action plan from Foxconn Hengyang detailing their plan to remediate the issues identified and we are conducting regular assessments to monitor for implementation and compliance with our supplier code of conduct. We are committed to ensuring these issues are resolved.”

Some of these violations include an illegal amount of overtime, where the workers at the Hengyang factory could work up to 80 hours of overtime a month, versus the 36 hours that are permitted by law.

The Xbox One X was released back in 2017 and it was essentially an upgraded version of the Xbox One that would support native 4K gaming, but for those wondering what else could be in store for the Xbox consoles, you’ll be pleased to learn that Microsoft has revealed that they’ve already started work on the next one.

This was revealed during the company’s E3 2018 presentation where according to Xbox boss Phil Spencer, “Our hardware team… is deep into architecting the next Xbox consoles.” Unsurprisingly Spencer did not share details about the console and what we might be able to expect especially since we’re pretty sure it’s still several years away from being ready.

This means that plans and hardware could change throughout the development, so even if Spencer had revealed the details, it’s hard to say if that will remain the same at the end. However he did state that the team will continue to “deliver on our commitment to delivering the benchmark on console gaming.”

Microsoft is not alone in developing their next-gen console. Sony had previously confirmed that the next PlayStation console would be at least 3 years away, which is somewhat in line with analysts who have predicted that next-gen consoles from Sony and Microsoft would arrive in 2020.
