It's long overdue that People Make Games talks about the layoffs that have now ripped through the games industry over the last couple of years.So when I was asked to speak at a recent IWGB Game Workers meeting, it seemed like the perfect moment to do exactly that.This video blurs the line between journalism and activism on our part, but after the last couple of years, I think there's a responsibility to do exactly that.I suppose, in short... we're called People Make Games for a reason!
