@LeonXiaoY @GamRegGB That makes sense then.
Very interesting figures! Would be good to dig a bit deeper here to get some explanations for these drops in numbers.

@benjjau @Creative_Vic @GamesWeekMelbs @acmiXstudio @wearevicscreen I was guessing the 2.5M would revive the Arcade. But I guess not then...

That was fun @PAXAus

The passes are available to games developers who are early career or from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds.

📅 Applications close Thursday 15 September. https://t.co/PFRBuqkGSw

[Steven Dupon @Steven_Dupon]

Can someone please link me to a succinct resource/explanation on Web 3 and metaverse. Without the spin though!
I feel like I'm the only one not getting it...

[Steven Dupon @Steven_Dupon]

@LeonXiaoY @DCMS I agree. Bans can be circumvented, but they also reduce accessibility which in turn reduces the risk.
Some form of regulation also sends a clear gov message to players and parents. And a coordinated education campaign would be helpfull too.

[Steven Dupon @Steven_Dupon]

@JocelynBrewer @G4C NYC has changed! Yes would be good to catch up. 👍

[Steven Dupon @Steven_Dupon]

Extremely encouraged by all the positive feedback on Streets of My Town, and so inspired by the other games, projects and PEOPLE at #G4C22. Quite the community! #thankyou

[Steven Dupon @Steven_Dupon]
