LIVESTREAM...? over

Google translated transcript of the article:

(Reporter Lee Soo-hyun, Top Star News) Project Moon, the producer of the game 'Limbus Company', fired a female illustrator for a 'certain ideology', causing controversy.

On the 31st, the Gyeonggi Youth Union announced through its official account, "In an era where sustainability cannot be guaranteed without ESG investment, the Gyeonggi Youth Union expresses concern over the recent unfair dismissal incident at Project Moon."

Lee Jong-chan, chairman of the Gyeonggi Youth Union, explained that Project Moon received investment from Devsisters Ventures, and Devsisters Ventures makes profits by operating a fund with taxes from Gyeonggi-do residents.

Chairman Lee Jong-chan added that the key to the fund is investment by local governments, and that Gyeonggi-do has guaranteed the possibility of project inquiry success.

It seems that Gyeonggi-do's money seems to have been invested in a vicious company that unfairly dismisses, and emphasized, "I don't remember that a company that unfairly dismissed paid taxes to make money."

Lee Jong-chan also said that he will hold a press conference at the Gyeonggi Provincial Council on the 3rd at 2:00 p.m. with Gyeonggi-do lawmakers about the unfair dismissal case of the project statement.

Also on the same day, the Korea Information and Communication Industry Labor Union proposed an immediate withdrawal of the dismissal measures through a statement.

The labor union said, "IT workers must unite and solidarity with each other through the labor union to stop various types of harassment against workers, such as cyber bullying and dismissal, which take place in the name of consumer rights."

He also told the government that administrative measures should be taken to prevent the recurrence of cases where business operators misuse dismissals and contract terminations for workers and freelancers as expedients.

Lastly, he raised his voice saying that no matter what ideology workers have, they should strive to create a world where they are not discriminated against just because they have that ideology.

Previously, a female illustrator of the 'Limbus Company' was fired after a post she left on SNS before joining the company was re-examined, causing controversy over unfair dismissal.

TL;DR: A confirmation of the speculations in this post: Since PM was partially funded by taxes in their province, they're now being held accountable now by labor unions for firing their artist under dubiously legal premises. The press conference will be held in 2 days from now.

Thought it was worth updating for anybody interested in the legal side of what's going on and wants to follow something official. It's no longer speculative, we've got a date for the press conference.

Main sub took down this post 10 minutes after launch, told me to put it in the megathread that still isn't properly formatted to put [new] on top and still has 8-day-old comments as the headline. Guess their promises about allowing "new info" as long as it "has no misinformation" are as empty as PM's contracts. Next time I'll do the smart thing and be sure to include a screenshot of the game and tag it [game content] so that it will not be removed, or consider adding a random poll and/or irrelevant question such as "who do you think will get twilight EGO?" and tag it appropriately as [discussion].

JK, this will probably be my last post in either subreddits. anyways, if a week later something happens and the game is forced to halt due to legal issues, now you'll know why

EDIT: Main sub has reinstated the OG post, but it's locked. Talk about it in their megathread, or here ig
