Plus the growing movement for game devs to unionize after decades of crunch & firings after massive profits.

If they can throw off the racism, sexism, ableism, etc, could be a really exciting moment

hardship or dissatisfaction alone won't change them but if enough people seize the opportunity to help them connect the dots accurately, a lot of good can be done

My kids have already gotten the “we may not be able to get the Switch 2 for Christmas because tariffs are making it so expensive” talk. I don’t know about adult gamers (a lot of them are more PS/XBox) but I think there will be a lot of up and coming leftist kids.
