Since we published our Disco Elysium follow-up, both Argo and Dora have now publicly responded to ZA/UM's statements about them in the documentary, which they strongly reject and describe as defamatory.
And they brought a lot of screenshots too...

If you live near Baltimore, Chris is going to be at the Enoch Pratt Free Library next month interviewing Jake Solomon (of XCOM and Midnight Suns fame) about what it's like trying to launch a new video games studio amidst... all of this.
It's free to attend and there'll be a bunch of cool indie games to play as well. And according to the event page, free boba!

If you watched PMG's video on Palestine last year, you'll know about Rasheed Abueideh and his story.
He's a Palestinian game dev, living in the West Bank, and experiencing the horror of a genocide many of us can only witness through a screen halfway around the world.
In that video, from over a year ago now, Rasheed spoke about his plans to tell the story of the 1948 Nakba ('The Catastophe') through his next project.
Unfortunately, no publisher has dared touch a game that looks to tell Palestine's own history in this way.
So it's up to all of us instead!
Today, Rasheed and his team are announcing Dreams on a Pillow and are looking to crowdfund its development.
Let's show them how much we all have their back, yeah?

Do you have a story that People Make Games might be interested in telling? Get in touch with Chris! You can find his email on Twitter, or in the About section of our channel page.
After some exhausting investigative work recently, he's especially interested in lighter stories, although would almost certainly make an exception to that for the right topic.

Following our recent reporting on Valve, I interviewed @TylerMcVicker1 (formerly Valve News Network) for our podcast all about the games media. He's been talking about Valve for well over a decade now and had plenty of thoughts to share about our latest video too. It's a good episode!
