Nathalie Lawhead@alienmelon.bsky.social · 3w agoi just published a post about my time at @glasgowindiegamesfest.org "When you strip back the commercialism, the urge to “sell”, and with that remove all the predatory behavior capitalism encourages… you are left with something human that creates the groundwork for games to be relevant to everyone."
I’m so proud of the @glasgowindiegamesfest.org and all of our team, I had the best weekend ever ❤️ So many people had never been to Glasgow before and I’m honoured that their first experience was our festival and all the fantastic games on display GIGF27 next year let’s goooo 🔥
