Since we're talking about contractors on video games, I thought I'd point out the importance of contractors/freelancers in TTRPGs as well. I'm using the award-winning Tian Xia World Guide as an example. The entire paragraph of authors are freelancers. Without them, the book wouldn't exist. 🧵
Huge credits list for Tian Xia World Guide.

We're gonna solve a Starfinder murder! In space! With robots, probably!
