New interview with @Guard_Crush's @CyrilleLagarigu, Bo & Léo about their rogue 'em up #Absolum, a Best Indie Game nominee at @thegameawards tonight!🏆👀
🎙️ We talked studio history, engine building, Absolum's appeal, getting nominated & more- listen here: canadiangamedevs.com/podcast…
note from Stephan- after scouring the nominee list I'm 99% sure this is the ONLY Canadian company nominated tonight. Foreign companies with studios in Canada like Ubisoft/Don't Nod are nominated- but Guard Crush from Montréal is really our only representation! good luck team 🤞🇨🇦
I WAS WRONG forgot about fellow Montrealers @CompulsionGames, so sorry folks- and congrats on the win!!

From the smallest indie studios like @AnemoneHug and @joydropgames to the biggest companies like @KeywordsStudios and Rockstar- game companies are fighting unionization tooth and nail, with no regard for laws, regulations or bad PR. And they seem to be getting away with it, too.
Rockstar hit with legal claims by IWGB over firing of unionizing workers

Not everyone in Kingsport is rolling out the welcome wagon for ol’ Brucie.

Québec's first game developer labour union @OneBGS_MTL has got a snazzy new logo 👀
For the first time, we are thrilled to show the world the symbol that represents the unity of all Bethesda Game Studios employees.
Designed by our very own @p4td and beloved by all, it shows the very reason for our existence: To be a force for positive change at BGS.
This is Canada's 4th game developer labour union, after
@AnemoneHug (Vancouver) and @KeywordsStudios (Edmonton) in 2022 and @JoydropGames o/a @MikutechTips (London) in 2023.
