"OH, THEY'VE GONE 😢"

Just came up with an idea for a t-shirt design promoting Progress RPG!
It'll have "Steps to Progress" at the top, and a QR code, then a list of checkboxes with this text:
[x] Look at this t-shirt
[x] Notice there's a QR code
[ ] Snap a picture and join for free!

Not quite the same thing, but I'm one of the few game devs I know from a working class background. I was in the service industry. My mom was a nurse and my dad was a labor organizer turned restaurant owner. I paid my own way through college. This isn't the typical game dev background 🤷♀️
"Does the UK [insert industry] industry have a class problem?" is, I'm sorry, a BS question because absolutely everything in the UK still revolves around class, to a degree very obvious to any European.
i.e. Is the Pope Catholic?

A non-profit organisation is trying to create more pathways into the sector for working-class people.
