What an entertaining article about a microcosm of the gaming industry that is reflecting what is happening in every sector of the economy.

My favourite (censorship from the article, not mine):

Concluding our conversation, Tuulik stated that “the fish starts rotting from the head, not the tail or the midsection. Don't get angry at the junior producer, mid-level lead, senior artist, community manager etc. They didn't know, were kept in the dark. It's not their fault. It was their love for Disco, not dystopian totalitarianism, that brought them here. It's their worst nightmare too.

“It's the people on top – the motherfs in sailing shoes and bowties – that fd Harry, fd Kim, fd Robert, Rostov, Helen, Olga, Cash, fd Elysium, f****d you and me too. They are not artists, they are professional fs,” he said.
