The latest (and increasing) news of game companies treating their workers like cattle (less than cattle, even...even cows get fed, are allowed to sleep at reasonable hours and given the occasional pat in the head) has been pretty depressing lately.
So as a means of countering the bad stories with good ones, I was wondering if there have been any verified examples of companies that treat their workers well and don't expect them to crunch their sanity and health away in order to meet a deadline. I want to naively believe a company like Nintendo knows how to treat their workers well while still turning out some of the greatest games of all time, but if actual confirmation exists then I'd like to know about it.
