[game_edu] Game studies and the economy

[Mike Reddy]

Games Grads in UK has been cancelled. I talked to the head of Tandem,  
who fortunately still have the Develop Conference to fall back on, and  
he confirmed that only 5 companies were prepared to exhibit, compared  
with over 1000 registered students for the Manchester event. Other  
potential exhibiters either had job freezes or were making people  
redundant. Sent a really chilling message to more than the 17 students  
I was going to drive up there! Morale is lower than low now!
