Editor’s letter I


t’s almost holiday season, and we’re all looking forward to a lit- tle bit of time off… Except that in the gaming industry, every-


one else’s holidays are our bread and butter, so there’s no rest for the wicked, as they say. Don’t forget to enjoy some downtime this holiday season, it’s all too easy to think “I can squeeze in another shift”… Before you know it you’re burning out and underperforming, and was it worth it? How many people will look back on their lives and think, “I really wish I’d worked more”? Have a great holiday season, whatever your religion or nationality. I certainly will be!
