I still have so much love for Final Fantasy VI. Everyone involved was firing on all cylinders. Play the Pixel Remaster if you haven't yet, finally no more need for SNES emulators!

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment?

If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com.

Please spread the word
