Treat your workers right...

Lest they lay down their tools, strike en masse, & string you up by the short & curlies when you can least afford the interruption.

Game expected to rake in billions due in a week? Oh look, it's a strike & they demand to be paid for all those over-40-hour-weeks before they'll write another line of code.

Sure you can fire them all & outsource the whole thing to a workforce that will work for pennies on the Pound, but if you think that game won't suffer from doing so then you're a sad, delusional little cockwomble.

Treat your workers right, pay them fairly, do what it takes to prove that you value the fact that it's their hard work that makes your bonus happen at all, and then maybe they won't repay shitty treatment in kind.
