A few have asked about our stance on NFTs: NFTs are a scam. If you think they are legitimately useful for anything other than the exploitation of creators, financial scams, and the destruction of the planet the we ask that please reevaluate your life choices. Peace ✌️

Also f̸̗̎ú̴̩c̷̖͌ḳ̵̀ any company that says they support creators and also endorses NFTs in any way. They only care about their own profit and the opportunity for wealth above anyone else. Especially given the now easily available discourse concerning the problems of NFTs.

. Who do we get in touch with to get you to stop stealing content from our developers, covering them with ads, *paying for search placement* above the actual creator, and continuing to host for ad revenue even after a developer takes their own page down? 😠

You are literally paying for an ad to be on top on Google because you make so much money off the ads covering your page with the stolen game, a game that the creator explicitly stop distributing on their own page:

You're so lazy that you just dump the link you stole the game from in the "Author" field on your site. And you "rel=nofollow" the link prevent any attribution back to the original by search engines. It's downright evil.

Just because a game is missing polish doesn't mean it's not deserving of your love and praise. This week we make the argument that rough games are both more sustainable than their polished siblings, and totally valid forms of expression.

I have a feeling accounts like ours are on the cutting block since 90% of what we post are outbound links to cool games 🔪 😱 What else should we post to even it out?

Just want to note, we've always been aware of scummy sites like this. It's particularly annoying this time around due to the circumstances of this specific game. The creator needed to take it down, but doesn't care and are exploiting the situation for profit.

Just because the bundle is over doesn't mean that your support has to end. Please continue to seek out communities and organizations that work to put a stop to racial injustice and police brutality. Don't stop talking about it. Don't stop donating #BlackLivesMatter

The response to the bundle has been fantastic so far. We're going to have some short downtime for a sever upgrade. We'll keep you updated.

When GDC's cancellation was announced one of our first thoughts was about all the developers who would be at a huge financial loss for travel related expenses that won't be reimbursed. We're eager to work with to help out those in need. Stay tuned

Many developers have spent a significant amount of money on travel, hotel, & visas to go to a cancelled GDC. @gamedevworld is announcing fundraising efforts March 28th-April 3rd for the GDC Relief Fund to help alleviate marginalized developers' burdens. gamedev.world/relief
