We need unions right fucking now, this shit has got to stop. If I read one more story about a studio laying everyone off right after launch when they don't hit peak Fortnight numbers I'm going to lose it.

Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:

Want to be very clear to anyone even remotely thinking about coming to events like GDC: Don't. It's not safe to be in the US, nobody's hiring or financing anyway, and it's not worth your life.

I'm going to take this opportunity to compile a list of games with LGBTQ+ themes or characters.
I'm going to try to stick with the lesser-known ones to give them visibility.
