I want to write more positive labour stories like this in 2022. For @verge, I spoke to the studios operating four-day work weeks, how it works, and the benefits they're seeing. @crowsx3 @gutefabrik @KitfoxGames @swizzle_kiss theverge.com/2022/1/14/2288…
looking forward to more from @noescapevg in 2022!
