New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years.

We'll have to see details, but federal tax incentives and a rewrite of the tax code to encourage shooting here is a GREAT FUCKING IDEA. We have the infrastructure, we have the crews, but often foreign tax incentives can mean tens of millions more that getting onto the screen. Bring production home!

On this day one year ago, we launched HADES II in Early Access!!🌒🌕🌘

It's been incredibly exciting and eye-opening as we've worked to realize the potential so many of you see in our game. Thank you for all your feedback and patience as we get closer to the finish line!
