#The last bastion awards update#

The government is trying to make it harder for people to exercise their democratic rights.īoth subtly, by, for example, restricting the rights of those they fund to challenge government policy, even if that policy is creating the very problem we’re trying to solve to less subtle changes such as the Police and Crime Act limiting protest, or threats of new legislation to curb the democratic right of employees to withdraw their labour. But both are profoundly wrong.ĭemocracy is also about debating, lobbying, campaigning, protesting, marching, organising, being a voice for the voiceless.Īnd it has never been more under threat than it is today. The odds seem overwhelming because the public has been convinced that democracy is about two things: elections – if you lose you have to suck it up and shut up until your next chance to vote – and the idea that the will of the majority should ride roughshod over the needs of the minority. I feel a bit like we’re in our own version of Agincourt. Thanks again to all of you for making this a year we'll always remember, and here's to a great 2012.At the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, Henry V of England led into battle an army of 6,000 soldiers outnumbered by a vastly superior French force.

It goes to show that a lot of folks out there like what we're doing and want us to keep going, which is great, because we intend to stick together as a team and do just that. When we set out to make Bastion, a sales number like that seemed astronomical to us, so it feels great to have hit that mark. We're happy to have this many people playing and to be in a position to make more games on our own terms. Recent holiday sales on Steam and Xbox LIVE Arcade put us over the top. First off, this week marked a major milestone for us when Bastion sailed past half a million copies sold.
