Hi I'm Christina, the crybaby of Crybaby studios. I'm a game artist, and gothic lolita.
I draw fanart, run an etsy shop, make video games, and help unionise the video games industry in the UK.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Everytime I go back on twitter to read something someone linked me I regret it. The worms have eaten those people's brains. There is no other explanation. The change is dramatic 🙄

Oh they're afraid afraid.
Rockstar claims dismissals were due to information leaks, not union busting
UPDATE: Developer says it "took action against a small number of individuals" for "distributing and discussing confidential information"

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.
