Tragically, not limited to composers. Seen it happen throughout game audio
Composers trying to get work in games are especially into cutting out both their own and other people's legs out from under themselves, for literally nothing.
It's an incredibly bad look if you try that. People take note.

Yikes, a 'BAFTA nominated' composer is sending *free* work to the studio I contracted with recently, asking to use their music instead.
Not only is this incredibly rude, it completely undervalues the field.
Is this a composer thing? Can't say this has ever happened before with my UI work! 😅

Unless you have no way of avoiding travel into the United States, you should not be traveling into the United States right now. I can't offer much concrete support, but if you can't avoid travel to GDC and you're anxious about it, feel free to DM me to rant, vent, rage, or chat.
next week, game developers from all over the world will convene in san francisco for gdc, an industry centerpiece. but recent events like the abduction of a pro-palestine student, anti-trans orders, and trump's aggression toward canada have some canceling their plans

!["I can barely get into the US under the Democrats," Ismail said. "The Republicans are straight up disappearing people, mate. I'm Egyptian. I know what disappearing is: Little van shows up, gone you are. In the Republican US, they could grab me and make me go away, and nobody would be able to do shit even if they tried. I think if anyone with Western privilege would be worried about going to Egypt, they should now be equally worried about going to the US. These things are random, unfair, and without recourse."
Others, like Subnautica Below Zero, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry writer Jill Murray, who is based in Montreal, are maintaining a healthy distance from the increasingly bad ol’ US of A out of senses of both solidarity and self-preservation.
"[The breaking point] was seeing how afraid trans and BIPOC friends were of crossing the border. I take it seriously and don’t really want to go where they can’t go," Murray told Aftermath. "My biggest personal factor is that I’ve been self employed for a very long time, and that can make me face more questioning. With a trade war on, it doesn’t feel like the risk is warranted – even if I’m facing mounting pressures to network, given the overall situation of the industry."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreiafplrbgnckbbulqb2xdyyn5n4rjcaxfvesf63dk3lccqszb6sa7y@jpeg)

I’m admittedly a little late to the return to physical media and direct ownership. Moving away from streaming platforms in 2025 and taking pride in supporting artists in a much more tangible way.

Bring back physical media. Streaming empowered CEOs and shareholders, which is why you have creatives advocating for piracy of their works. If you love an artist, buy their book or album or film or TV show. If you can get it in physical, do that. Start canceling streamers, you don't watch it all.
i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

Here’s a quick Overwatch sound redesign I did a few months back. Wanted to spice things up between #gameaudio / #gamedev projects. Think I’ll get back into doing more of these - super fun.
