Good day fellow gamer.I've created this union to reflect on the gaming world. Please feel free to share you're ideas here. This union is sort of directed to act as one big focus group in which everybody can interact and share opinons and ideas. There's quite a lot of opportunity out there. I'm sure many of you guys are pulling for jobs within the gaming world. Good luck.

link to the post in the suggestio forum here. The premise is that all unions are very similar with the same layout and not much difference, plus you don't get notified of updates, among a lot of other things.
