Men with families are way more stable than any other employees. A guy who has a wife and family has obligations to take care of and can't move on a whim.
Not surprising that companies are taking stands since unplanned pregnancies negatively impact a company in various ways due to employees dropping out and/or using more health insurance.
No, that is idiotic, and not at all what is going on here.
None of this is being done with a business motive. ALL pregnancies impact a company equally, planned or not, because companies have to pay maternity leave. Yet has a single company spoken out against pregnancy? No. Have any of them suggested sterilization or aggressive contraceptive use? No. Have any discouraged anything that "uses more health insurance" in any way (being trans or obese)? No. So all these things you'd expect to see if your thesis was correct, none of them have happened.
This leaves us with the very obvious alternative: these dumbfuck corpos - many not even American - are doing this as pure politics. This is clear on the face of the tweets posted in the article.
specifically Ubisoft, Insomniac and ArenaNet have given the standard "Reproducive rights are human rights" line.

Don't hire women, problem solved.
Women dont ask for raises and do what they're told. Perfect wageslaves
They're terrible workers and lower the morale of the office. Terrible cost efficiency.
No, only hire men married to women.

But make them pay extra for family insurance.
"Abortions are great for our bottom line" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Well, especially game-companies, no? I'm willing to bet that the single reason most people cut back on gaming or stop alltogether are kids and family.

Literally all companies ive been avoiding like the plague already.
Always ask the question what part of reproductive rights are being denied?
They will never answer because the term reproduction and it’s entire legal purpose is for the right to conceive.
If you want to know which companies the article refers to:
Bungie
Ubisoft
Insomniac Games
ArenaNet
Maybe if they shutup about things that don't concern them and focus on games, they might have something worth playing that wasn't from 20 years ago.
"No! Expecting games companies to make games is sexist for some reason but I read it on the internet so it must be true" /s
Ah they're all piece of shit companies that need to go bankrupt anyway.
No doubt many others have tweeted something about this but I don't have a Twitter account
