French video game developers staged the first-ever industry-wide strike this week, rallying against deteriorating working conditions and significant job cuts.
I ABSOLUTELY did not know about that until your comment, where do you find out about these things? I am always down for charity bundles but I do not always know about them till it is too late. Bought this one.
Ok. I bought the bundle, but I haven’t heard of any of the games. Are there any that are a “must play”, or do I just add them to the backlog?
Edit: I briefly tried a couple of the in-browser games. What I found was that my French is terrible, and the games need better instructions. I couldn’t do anything in Save the Rioters. Flesh Psychosis is confusing, but might actually be a simple/solid game if I could figure out what I was doing. Macron Dissolution seems to be some sort of political parody quiz game, and I managed to do better than I had any right to do.
In case you missed it (posted several times on lemmy) the STJV grève bundle on itch.io

I think it was upto this point only posted on french.
Nope, we learned about it from an English written post (see my other comment) about a pcgaming article.
If course we immediately spammed the French lemmy because vive la grève !

I’ve heard about Minami Lane being cool. I bought because that and the strike
They’re on the backlog for me.
I bought it mostly for supporting the strike and for the Godot C# books.
Why did you buy it then ?
To support the strike fund I assume, which is the point of the whole post?
Oh yeah
The strike fund
Bought it
