Games are doing fine for now, but how much longer will devs and artists continue being treated like disposable tissue before we see the talent pool implode? It doesn’t seem to matter what game is built, how well it performs, if it’s single player or live service - the layoffs and closures come for everyone.

A nurse in my family went deep anti-vax during covid, and I still don’t understand the motivation or logic. And they’re definitely not an isolated story.

Nahh - further back, before they could even be defederated, they spent first years voluntarily isolating themselves from the larger fediverse. Just surprising is all, I was under the impression hexbear was very self sustaining.

Edit- looking like this wasn’t intentional, explains a lot.

I thought were defederated most of their existence though? I wonder what changed.
