Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:
"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

It's awesome how minority voices in the games industry are just tools to shield companies from allegations of bigotry until they are no longer needed
There will be no The Game Awards Future Class for 2025. The previous Future Classes say they were used for positive publicity.
"We found out later that Keighley had a party in another room with all the influencers and industry people. You know where Future Class met that day? At a Starbucks”

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

For those unfamiliar Ana Valens has been one of the 2 big names organizing and spearheading the protests on payment processors. And one of the first journalists to had covered the topic of collective shout, their hypocrisy and war on adult content.

there is considerable data about this exact thing and it is just plain false. Stop handing that one to publishers.
