Unless you have no way of avoiding travel into the United States, you should not be traveling into the United States right now. I can't offer much concrete support, but if you can't avoid travel to GDC and you're anxious about it, feel free to DM me to rant, vent, rage, or chat. - ThreadSky

next week, game developers from all over the world will convene in san francisco for gdc, an industry centerpiece. but recent events like the abduction of a pro-palestine student, anti-trans orders, and trump's aggression toward canada have some canceling their plans

You're a real one Rami

I wish there was some sort of proxy system for anyone that is going to be impacted by this.

Not even a blip on the radar of the people causing this.

i’ve been speaking with a handful of international friends and saying the same thing. there’s no reason why anybody would want to be here right now.

I'm Canadian, *not* in the gaming industry, and I'm still scheduled to go to Boston in less than two months for PAX East. I'm getting apprehensive.

I moved to Ireland about 4 years ago and it's really hard to feel like the US was ever my home now. Everything feels like it's in pieces to the point of hopelessness. So many people rejoicing at the suffering of others.

And also, to make pressure on GDC to move the eff away from the US. If anything, to have it moved to Canada, which is US but good.

One day i will visit the country, but not in the foreseeable future, thats for sure. Even as a white guy from Portugal, i don't know if i will have any kind of problem. There are lots of other places i want to visit, so the US can wait.

We definitely could use a couple alternatives to GDC.

matropert.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Actually aren't they some already?
The OP makes it sound like it's the only big one but that feels very American centric to me.

As someone living in the US (SF) can confirm. I also do not want to travel here ATM. GDC is fun. But in general it's a hell hole. Sorry.
