Game devs DESPERATELY need to look further afield if they want a rewarding career that uses their skills.
We are launching 'Beyond Games' from January - a series of online events that each explore games and how they intersect with another sector.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Tell them that the government is taking away Medicare, the fire department, the Army, their social security benefits... and see what they say.
This is a branding problem.
