    I’m looking forward to strikes delaying games. Unironically looking forward to it.

      Same. Because if the unions can kill poisonous work demands like ‘crunch time’ and thus cause delays for polish and bug fixes by devs who aren’t sleeping at their desk from exhaustion, we all win

        I read this as ‘cause delays for the Polish’ and was like, “What did the Polish do?”

      I want less pretty games from smaller teams with smaller budgets and i’m not even kidding.
