Hi! I see a bowl dedicated to the Entertainment Industry generally speaking, but not specifically for Gaming. And lord knows there’s more than enough to get its own! This bowl is dedicated to the blood-sweat-and-tearers, the crunchiers, the dreamers and all the fishes, small and big, that work in an industry now worth more than music and movies combined! Let’s discuss news, hardships, victories and hopefully we’ll all get to learn from each other and make this industry better from the inside.
