Re: Game Industry Recruiter Taking In Questions
@Alemja This is a great question, studios will normally want to hire local people. Relocation expenses come out of the studio/company budget and are a cost that can be averted.

Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon

Anyone can say anything on the internet, and this is on the same level of pettiness as Elden Ring players saying you haven't ackshually beaten the game if you use spirit ashes.
