  • Of course always vote with your wallet. Just saying it’s a complex topic and it’s one thing to boycott it because Rowling profits off it, but you’re also excluding the hundreds of hard working game developers who put years of their life towards a legitimately good game.

    Unfortunately, because of the existence of shareholders, pretty much anything non indie is going to be profiting off exploitative rich people with generally loads of prejudice against marginalised groups. Even indie games you’re kinda stuck, look at factorio for example. Or you’re supporting the storefront. There may be ways to consume games ethically maybe but there’s always a catch somewhere. Informing consumers of these choices is important, but judging them for it is reductive considering the only winning move is not to play.







  • There are usually many layers before your application actually gets to someone who understands the job and can actually evaluate how valuable you are to the role. There are an insane number of applications that are just gone before someone useful can actually read it.

    I know personally I would never have gotten my last 3 jobs were it not for networking and knowing people.

    Networking really is the way forward. I understand for some people that socialising is insanely difficult, but knowing the right people can get you jobs that you aren’t even qualified for.
