Independent Games Festival starts with a plea for supporting game devs
Shawn Pierre, the chairperson of the Independent Games Festival, opened the Independent Games Festival Awards with a plea to support game developers.
Pierre had some heartfelt words for the audience, which has been hit hard by layoffs, studio closures and other ills that have made life tough for game developers lately.
