just to point this out: the only way many people can BE rich is by exploiting workers...either in their own nation or overseas, heck USA MNC's have what are essentially workhouses in most developing nations, worse yet in 3rd world nations too.
but you Yanks dont care, so long as you get cheap shitty products that you dont need, sadly video games may well be among those that are made this way.
think of it like this, for every dollar less you pay for a shirt you buy at Primark, 500 or so kids must live in poverty in other countries.
capitalists are the slave drivers of the modern world.

So Google's (and many other Tech companies) well paying jobs with excellent benefits are "screwing" their employees?
If you go and actually talk with many of these "Exploited" workers in third world countries you would find that they desperately want to work in these "Low Wage" positions because of how well paying they are. While $1 to $2 per hour seems like slave wages to those of us who live in the western world, many of these individuals would earn (roughly) $1 to $2 per day if it wasn’t for these industrialists. On top of that, these wages cycle through the local economy and increase the standard of living of everyone; and you can see this effect in China and India today (compared to what they were several years ago) and you can see the end result of this "Exploitation" in Japan and South Korea.
If your employer is not giving you a fair wage find another job, and if no employer will pay you the wage you desire to do work they believe you’re capable of start a business and make the money for yourself; and if you can’t find someone to pay you what you desire regardless of whether you’re an employee or an entrepreneur, maybe your skills just aren’t that valuable.

so, exploitation is okay if people have no other choice because you keep those nations in debt and oppressed?
seriously, that kind of justification is so pathetic, all it does is show how capitalists are a bunch of self righteous scum who would gladly sell the rest of the world into slavery to get an extra car.

Compare and contrast the growth rate and standards of living in countries that are supposedly being "exploited" by western powers to those that are free from western influence. Would you rather have the average standard of living of Zimbabwe or Japan, Haiti or South Korea, Guinea or China, Gambia or India?
Are the citizens of Japan worse off for being "exploited" by American industry after World War II?
Are the citizens of South Korea worse off for being "exploited" by American industry after the Korean War?
Are the citizens of North Korea well off for being free from Capitalist influence?
Now to make my point on how the citizens of these countries feel about being "exploited" ... If a company moves to your town, hires you with little or no education or experience, and started paying you $250,000 per year would you be upset if people in another part of the world who have a dramatically higher cost of living earn far more than you?
