In this solo episode, I address three significant topics in the game development industry: backlash from social media posts following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the tragic death of Microsoft engineer Pratik Pandey linked to crunch culture, and the broader industry shakeout leading to significant job losses.

The discussion covers the impacts of public comments by game developers on their careers, the systemic issue of overwork in the tech industry, and the uneven global recovery in the video game sector with a particular focus on job cuts in California versus growth in Europe and Asia.
