MODERATORS
The games industry is getting absolutely hammered by this stuff.
If there's a game currently in development, that doesn't have the backing of a large company and has more than 5 people working on it, there's a good chance its going to get canned because venture capitol backers aren't going to pick up the next bill.
To be fair the entire tech industry too is getting hammered. Times are hard on smaller companies, and it doesn't seem to be getting better. I'm hearing about layoffs every few days now.
