Over the last six months I've been lucky enough to meet and work with some of the astounding people here at offbrand. Those in the production team are some of the most incredibly talented and creative people I have met throughout my career.

For those that are leaving us I hope you know that you're not worth less, the business just can't afford you right now. I hope that we work together again here or elsewhere in the future.

As the Director of Strategy for offbrand games my focus has not changed. I am dedicated to making sure we're the best damn publishing house we can be and one that doesn't rip off game devs in the process.

I also want to ensure we have the best possibility for success going forward. As such I will be forgoing my pay indefinitely and continuing my work here at the legally required minimum wage. I was not asked to do this in any respect. All of you have supported me more than enough as it is.

No matter who you are, keep being creative and follow that drive. Life is full of twists and turns but the adventure you're on is an awesome one. Don't forget that.

Also, if you can find homes for these awesome people that would be fantastic. Check out the staff list here.

@JayBritton Great job! Almost there, keep up the good work.

[DecaBear @DecaBear210]

@JayBritton @MercedesAMGF1 @noblechairs @OverclockersUK Very nice! I would love to hear your thoughts on the chair in a few months, after you have used it for a bit. My chair is on its last leg so I will be in the market soon for a nice new chair.

[DecaBear @DecaBear210]

@JayBritton @OverclockersUK @MercedesF1Esp That looks so fun!

News!

I'm now working as a Performance Consultant! I'm already working with a number of publishers and studios to help folks get great performances in their games.

So if you need help on anything from script review, to casting / directing or the audio pipeline, give me a shout!

@JayBritton This is an abomination.

Busy September, with 3 game launches!

[DecaBear @DecaBear210]

@JayBritton @BethesdaStudios That is really cool!

[DecaBear @DecaBear210]

@JayBritton My friend did this and she loved it!

[DecaBear @DecaBear210]

@JayBritton That looks bad ass!

[DecaBear @DecaBear210]

@JayBritton I'm pretty good at coding and would be down to give it a shot.

[DecaBear @DecaBear210]

@AmeliaTyler @DocRimbo And you went to Kura! I love that place!

[DecaBear @DecaBear210]

@HelloItsKolo I'm very sorry for your loss. Sending love.

[DecaBear @DecaBear210]

@JayBritton I have never noticed a difference. Are you saying it has less taste, more, something else entirely?

For all the people currently freaking out about the Once Human Privacy Policy.

The policy states under "Personal Information we receive from you:" that they receive "Name & Contact Details" "Such as first and last name, title, prefix, email address, telephone number, (instant) messaging account, postal address, date of birth, age, gender, country/region, and government-issued ID, such as passport information, as required by applicable laws for age verification and correction of personal information."

The general internet has warped this into a demanded requirement and a privacy issue. It's not. These are only sent to the company when required by applicable local laws. This is why it says "Receive from you" and "as required by applicable laws".

In some countries government issued ID's are required for live service game access. If you are not in one of these countries you obviously are not asked or required to present those documents.

Fearmongering on social media is boring as shit.
