The democrats didn’t just give up leverage and millions of Americans healthcare they voted for expressly illegal and corrupt actions by the administration and their colleagues. They literally are helping materially to dismantle American democracy.
None of these people can hold power anymore.

I really do think this is true.
Rockstar leadership deciding to fire 30+ union workers and the workers deciding to fight back is going to be something we look back on as a turning point for our unionization effort.

WE HAVE A NEW WEBSITE
This has consumed around 4 months of my life. We've rebuilt the business from the ground-up. New site, new backend, new customer experience, new platform, new everything.
we spent two years flailing, having no idea how to run a business. now...we have more of an idea.

Aftermath’s first two years have been packed with highlights, like the time @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social published a story about breast milk rivers, and then a student emailed us to say we couldn’t post anything weird/horny for a day (they were trying to make us look credible to their professor):

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.
The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.
