The GEL stuff sucked I saw them once or twice. A shame they were one of the gnarliest hardcore bands and putting in some good work.

Would you guys get on here and complain about them laying people off because of it? The games industry is not doing great about growth and retaining people. I’m wanna add I’m not defending anything going on over seas just think the games industry will be the first people fired if Microsoft gets hit hard by this boycott.
