Angus, you're an angel. It shouldn't be this hard for the video games industry to regulate their council. You're amazing. Thanks for sharing
It’s frustrating that it continually falls to @kimmacaskill.bsky.social to call out the kind of bullshit that senior figures in the games industry are given carte blanche to enact but I’m grateful that she’s willing to do it.

For anyone who needs reminded of that time The Last Unicorn (1986) created a tree with massive tits that squeezed you between them...not because the plot needed it.
Not because anyone needed it.
They just put it in.

I remember my tweet went rage-viral for supporting Cyberpunk. It's a game that's still adored today. People just wanted to jump on a war-wagon but as time proved, the game spoke for itself in the end. Don't listen to the internet. #gamedev #cyberpunk #cdredprojekt #twitter
