Four+ years of my professional career is about to become an industry ghost story.
We're two weeks from the Anthem shutdown. If you're a fan playing until the end, one who dropped off, or a developer who worked on the game and want to talk (anonymously) about these final days, the shutdown, or the game broadly for a Kotaku story, hit me up here or at [email protected]! RTs plz.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.
