The regional location of multinational corporation (MNC) subsidiaries in their host
country and their associated entrepreneurial output and networking activities are likely
to affect their economic development contribution, measured in terms of technology and
management know-how transfers; enhancement of innovativeness of other firms; and
company spinoffs. This theme has considerable research and public policy value. We
investigate the issue drawing from a large-scale study of 264 MNC subsidiaries based in
the UK. The findings show that activities in developed regions are associated with higher
economic development contribution than those in less developed regions. Moreover,
entrepreneurial output and networking with partners external to the MNC system
positively affect economic development contribution. Key implications of this study are
that entrepreneurship critically influences economic development contribution, under-
lying the importance of the MNC subsidiary research stream; and that the policy practice
of supply-side measures fostering entrepreneurial output and embeddedness in local
networks seems to be appropriate to pursue.

1. Introduction
In this article, we investigate the effect of the regional
location, in which subsidiaries of multinational corpora-
tions (MNCs) are based, on economic development
contribution in their host country. Towards this goal, we
provide empirical evidence from a large-scale study in the
UK, distinguishing between developed and less developed
regions in this advanced economy. Moreover, we explore
the effects of entrepreneurial output and networking of
MNC subsidiaries on contribution

Abstract
This article examines two blogs written by the spouses of game developers about extreme
and exploitative working conditions in the video game industry and the associated reader
comments. The wives of these video game developers and members of the game community
decry these working conditions and challenge dominant ideologies about making games. This
article contributes to the work intensification literature by challenging the belief that long hours
are necessary and inevitable to make successful games, discussing the negative toll of extreme
work on workers and their families, and by highlighting that the project-based structure of game
development both creates extreme work conditions and inhibits resistance. It considers how
extreme work practices are legitimized through neo-normative control mechanisms made
possible through project-based work structures and the perceived imperative of a race or ‘crunch’
to meet project deadlines. The findings show that neo-normative control mechanisms create an
insularity within project teams and can make it difficult for workers to resist their own extreme
working conditions, and at times to even understand them as extreme.
Keywords: extreme work, project-based work, viedo game development, work-life

Introduction
The global video game industry is booming. Successful games are highly lucrative, with
examples such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, grossing more than US$775 million in its
first week on the market (Rose, 2011). High-profile successes along with a culture of fun,
innovation and creativity generate an industry stereotype that suggests that video game
developers get paid to play (de Peuter and Dyer-Witheford, 2005; Deuze, Martin and Allen,
2007). This stereotype overshadows a different reality; the game industry is faced with intense
and extreme working conditions.
This paper highlights the ‘dark side’ of the game industry by examini
