TheGamer's new pay-per-session plan triggers worker backlash and fears of layoffs
Valnet, the parent company behind TheGamer, introduced a pay-per-session PPS system that replaces base pay and pay-per-post, offering $3-$8 per 1,000 sessions depending on role and capping payments at 15 days per post. Workers say the plan eliminates guaranteed earnings, amounts to a major pay cut, and could force some to quit, sparking an internal revolt and widespread confusion as leadership remains unclear on implementation after past layoffs.
