I wrote this column and I'll just say that the original headline was much meaner. The piece itself, though, is still very angry and very mean, I assure you.
I’m Starting To Worry This Industry Has No Respect For The People Who Work In It

AI is killing the games industry.
Don't use it, don't accept it, push back against it wherever you can, because this tech is cannibalizing everything you care about, even if you don't know it, it's poisoning something right now that you'll feel the impact of further down the line.

2% tax on assets worth over £10m would raise £24bn/year.
Starmer's welfare cuts will only save £5bn/year.
