Hello gamedev folks 💔
It's my final straw. If I don't find work in 1 month, I'll have to quit gamedev definitely, and make a big career change for something more stable.

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.
