Many get sick while traveling.
One major reason is they don’t realize mass transit is high risk because airline CEOs lied about viral spread early in the pandemic and lobbied the CDC to lower precautions.
To make the most of your holiday, take precautions like wearing a mask when you travel!

Mandatory crunch time to complete a demo is not what we sign up for as video game workers, yet it's a reality we're all too familiar with as studio execs exploit our passion for the games that we create and love.
And it won't stop unless we organize.

NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

He added that this volatility may have been avoided if the industry were more "developer-led."

we decided against putting this directly in the game mostly because we'd rather focus on be the thing the game is rather than the thing it isn't (ie putting this up front focuses too much on the ways we didn't make the game, you know?)
but sadly this is starting to feel a bit evergreen.
