What else is there?

Words have power: how we internalize our own words and create our own self-fulfilling prophecies and confirmation biases.
We've opened the Game Industry Coffee Chat this morning.
We've got some subjects to hit this week (future of the industry, hiring on the rise?, AI overhype, more on Krafton/UW), but for this morning we're diving in first on Stop Killing Games.
Join in with us at discord.gg/gicc
Ready to dive into this massive subject. There are so many angles to explore.
