Damn, good to know that youtube videos that could cause reputational damage, harassment and death threats are unacceptable and should be removed. Good to know that youtube/google can just do that!

Indie deckbuilder All Will Rise's dev joins No Games For Genocide boycott and plans to hand back funding it received from Microsoft "We encourage others in the industry to join us and take a stand."

all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com — it’s a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand 🔥

Maybe if we were stripping funding from art instead of trying to create it, somebody would’ve come to rub our backs and make it all okay by now!
