2019: The potential downfall of Games Done Quick
28References down below in the description.
This wasn't easy for me to do as doing videos like this isn't my strong point. No offense to anyone looking forward for more of AGDQ2019, but I just wanted to get my opinion out there. I believe free speech should be an absolute, and though RWhiteGoose and graviton said some disturbing things via Discord (and not at a GDQ event itself), their bans weren't justified.
