    Workers making high-end Scuf controllers for Corsair are voting to unionize on September 28th.

    Nicole Carpenter at Polygon has an excellent report on workers in a Corsair warehouse in Duluth, Georgia, and their efforts to organize. In addition to Scuf, Corsair also owns Elgato and recently acquired Drop.

    We’ve tested various Scufs, including ones we recommend in buying guides, and it’s all too easy to overlook the labor that goes into these high-end controllers that are essentially hot-rodded models from Sony and Microsoft.

    Corsair’s warehouse workers make pennies compared to CEO’s millions — and now they’re fighting back

    Boy, Nintendo really loves remakes.

    Nintendo’s September Direct announcements covered a bunch of remakes and remasters coming to the Nintendo Switch: Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a collection of both Another Code titles, Luigi’s Mansion 2, and Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

    Those are all in addition to games like Advance Wars and Metroid Prime remakes, which came to Switch earlier this year. What’s old is new again, right?

    All of my favorite games this year are old

    Among Us’ new map looks like a fungi-good time.

    The next big update for social deduction game Among Us is a new mushroom-themed map called “The Fungle,” announced during Nintendo’s September Direct.

    The crewmates are stranded on a deserted island infested with poisonous mushrooms, but since it’s Among Us, I’m sure many of the biggest threats you encounter will be from your fellow traitorous players.
