Put the kids to bed, grab a bottle of wine or your favorite brew, and sit back and enjoy part two of The Darkside of Development.

We share some of our experiences, air out some of our grievances, and highlight some truths about the downsides to the culture of competition within the industry. We end the show with a pinch of positivity and speak on the perspective game developers should take when addressing the dark side of game development.
