RARE and Playground Games both important video game studios out of the UK and now both at huge risk, due to acquisition, of being entirely offshored to the United States. We need asset locks in the creative industries, we need to see worker co-ops in the UK’s gaming sector.

I see a lot of young people on this platform with "aspiring animator/artist" in their bios who have gotten caught up in fandom hysteria and are trying to build cred by shit talking various studios and artists and my professional advice would be: you should all stop doing that
