If you’re having to move time away from working on your game to spend time searching for a job…

Don’t give up. Never give up.

Just remember, you can’t make your game without money. Not unless you’re a unicorn.

The market is badder than bad, but you gotta keep searching.

keep up the calls & emails to payment processors (especially paypal & stripe) but also try to call congress members if you're in the US. let them know you think this level of censorship is unjust and NSFW media is worthy of existing. more groups will attack its right to exist in any format.
