I am literally producing on a Palestinian game project where we have a "in case of our creative director getting massacred" contingency plan, and people dare to tell me to "focus on video games". Even my video games life is directly affected by the on-going genocide.

Oh God💔

The fact such a plan needs to exist is so gut wrenching.

How the hell can anyone focus on anything else when this is happening? I'm on the other side of the globe and this is always in my head.

Felt. I used to talk to an indie dev in Ukraine before he vanished on me. Any day is a good day for a ceasefire.

This is very messed up and you all deserve better. Some people do not care if game devs live or die, they only care about self-gratification because many people in the west are selfish heartless bastards. They don't give a shit if the game devs making their games die before the game is finished.

I play a game where one of my random alliance teammates was an Afghani refugee in Europe. His asylum appeal was denied and he gave his account to a friend to keep up. His friend recently told us that Hamayoon had died. “Drowned on the way to the sea” was the way he put it. Shocking and so very sad.

That's so awful. Really sorry your team has to face that possibility.

This is heartbreaking and unfair.
