Always proud when Access-Ability gets shortlisted for a Comms award alongside larger scale PR agencies or developers. People deserve to have accessibility information about games, delivered in accessible formats, and I'm proud to be able to offer that.

If you're not subscribed to @cypheroftyr.bsky.social's newsletter, do so ASAP. Not just because of the content itself (which is fantastic), but because she's honed her writing to communicate complexity with an ease that I could only dream of. Writers, you can learn from her just by reading.

If you haven't worked in the industry in the last two years because you've been unable to find a job, it'll boot you out of the survey. So say you're self-employed.

"Why do you see yourself leaving the game industry [in the next twelve months]?"

AAA layoffs are decimating institutional knowledge and making a stable career impossible. Greed-first financial climate makes AA funding precarious. The job market is impossibly competitive. A lack of functional marketing systems makes indie success a coin flip at best. And cost of living in "industry cities" is too high to bear a long unemployment spell.

"What considerations or values guide your decisions about if, when, or how to use generative AI tools in your work?"

Personally: it short-circuits any learning process and atrophies personal skill.
Discipline: It's unsuitable for the work I do (design).
Professionally: genAI output is not protected by copyright and may expose me to theft/plagiarism liability.
Industry: it's being over-deployed for work it can't do and used as an excuse to lay off, under-hire, and overwork workers.
Societally: the genAI industry is vacuuming up investment money and starving other industries, including games.
Morally: LLMs and image generators are trained on creative work taken without declaration, consent, or compensation.

Crytivo - a full-ass publisher whose catalog includes Prehistoric Kingdom - is offering $12-24k annual (no other benefits except PTO after 6mo) for a full-time mid-level QA role. I'd call it shameful but TBH I think the real problem is the cost of living in the "greatest country in the world".
