It was super successful and a great collaboration with a bunch of wonderful artists in the GIG, so naturally we.... never did it again. Wearing this merch in the wild is a badge of honor, to show you were there, and it's genuinely heartwarming to see folks wearing them still to this day. 2 / 4

* If you applied to join the @thegig.bsky.social in the last few weeks, please be patient. As tends to happen around GDC, we get an influx of people joining, it's been about 500 in the last month. Here's the thing though - we manually vet EVERYONE who joins, so the process takes time and effort.

FAQ * RSVP confirmations for the GIG party (thegig.social/gdc) will start going out later today. They go out in batches, and are not entirely based on a 'first come first in', as we work to create a good mix. That said, if you were one of the first 100 to RSVP, you'll definitely be approved.
