A lot of work has gone into this since October last year, but it was worth it - today was my first day as Production Manager at @Ubisoft! I am *so* hyped!

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 ✌️

Hey all! I'd be incredibly honoured to be nominated for this, especially around the work I've done with cultivating a massive inclusive game dev community (@GDAU_), as well as for my volunteering, diversity consultation, university talks, etc. 🥰

@HappyMageGames @Ubisoft @animocabrands Ok

[Game Developers of Australia 🎮 @GDAU_]

Effective immediately, we are banning the posting of all job advertisements for companies that deal in blockchain technology, NFTs, and cryptocurrencies within our community.

@HappyMageGames @EASPORTS They're a games studio. We're a Discord community.

[Game Developers of Australia 🎮 @GDAU_]

Just a reminder: We're a small Discord-based community for game developers. We do not represent the entire games industry in Australia. This is the decision that we've made for our community.

@h_ups Hi we just run a lil discord community of people who make video games

[Lexa @Lexacutable]

I'm a moderator at GDAU; I'm super proud of this and any devs who agree with us and aren't in there yet, well, get in there. https://t.co/2tWl14TTAQ

[Game Developers of Australia 🎮 @GDAU_]

If you wish to post job advertisements relating to the above technology, we encourage you to find alternative spaces to do so.

[Game Developers of Australia 🎮 @GDAU_]

The GDAU can no longer in good conscience allow the promotion of this tech in its current state within our community. While we are banning job ads and the sale of NFTs in our discord, we still allow respectful, polite discussion of this tech and its applications in our industry.

[Game Developers of Australia 🎮 @GDAU_]

The GDAU might be on the lookout to enlist help for the leadership team in 2022. If you're interested, please contact @NikPantis on Twitter!
