New interview with @Guard_Crush's @CyrilleLagarigu, Bo & Léo about their rogue 'em up #Absolum, a Best Indie Game nominee at @thegameawards tonight!🏆👀

[Canadian Game Devs @CanadaGameDevs]

note from Stephan- after scouring the nominee list I'm 99% sure this is the ONLY Canadian company nominated tonight. Foreign companies with studios in Canada like Ubisoft/Don't Nod are nominated- but Guard Crush from Montréal is really our only representation! good luck team 🤞🇨🇦

From the smallest indie studios like @AnemoneHug and @joydropgames to the biggest companies like @KeywordsStudios and Rockstar- game companies are fighting unionization tooth and nail, with no regard for laws, regulations or bad PR. And they seem to be getting away with it, too.

[Game Developer @gamedevdotcom]

Rockstar hit with legal claims by IWGB over firing of unionizing workers

[Canadian Game Devs @CanadaGameDevs]

@KeywordsStudios Do you think unions will have a big impact on your work in 2025? Or will you just fire them all again?

[Canadian Game Devs @CanadaGameDevs]

@alex_deluge Oh lol

[Canadian Game Devs @CanadaGameDevs]
