Well that tend has continued so let's take a look at the causes and ramifications of these layoffs. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2023-11-20/video-game-industry-layoffs One of our ongoing points of emphasis on this show is to bring to light the plight of women in the video game industry. Well IGN lit up that light inadventantly this past week when they published a story celebrating their 30 years of covering the gaming industry with exactly zero women highlighted. https://www.inverse.com/gaming/pc-gamer-women-in-video-games https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/comments/17vpjst/not_one_woman_in_30_years_not_one/ https://www.pcgamer.com/celebrating-30-years-of-pc-gamer/ Nominations for the 2023 Game Awards, recognizing the gaming biz’s best games and creators of the year, have been announced.
