I know a lot of people are out of work, and joining a volunteer/ rev-share #gamedev project might be attractive to fill in time, but this just seems off to me. Dude wants to build Electronic Arts for free, not an indie team.
It’s noble, but like all startups they have an exit strategy and that means being acquired. And so will the data.

So, Andy Burnham is removing early release for murderers and rapists but not for domestic abusers, who will finish the job as soon as they're out. Bravo, moron.

As of this morning, the itch bundle officially broke 100k. This is a lifeline to our fellow workers and proof that solidarity extends beyond borders, both literal and figurative. Never let anyone tell you that things cannot change.
United Videogame Workers-CWA@videogameworkers.bsky.social · 3d agoYou’ve helped us raise over 80k for laid off gamedevs in need so far, and we still have plenty of time left in the bundle’s drive. Everyone who organized this effort was doing so on their own time for the benefit of others. If these companies wanted to, they would. They don’t. We do. Join us. ✊
