If you don't have any plans for the weekend, might I suggest bothering our corporate overlords to stop taking away our video games? #videogames #steam #itch.io #indiegames www.gamepressure.com/newsroom/how...

They are taking our video games away. Steam and itch.io have been forced to make changes. But there are a few ways you can make your voice heard.

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.

Know your rights before you hit the streets. Peaceful protest is protected — but only if you know how to protect yourself legally. Read, share, and stay safe.

For all the video game fans out there, I think I played roughly 25 different games at this year's Summer Game Fest, and every time I saw a dog, it was pettable.

If you are tired of the same thing or whatever, please, go watch the smaller events that happened this weekend.
I'm not saying it's different but at least you are helping smaller creators be able to make their things (me included).

Jeez, there really were like 200 game announcements over the course of 72 hours.
And it seems that most of the games press (and half of the audience) are downright miserable about it.
That doesn't feel like a good sign.
