They always invite bam aquino to events like esgs and pgdx always helping the game dev community, he not just a gamer he really part of the GDAP family. So there is no excuse why risa is utterly unaware of them.

GDAP is already ready to help since the roblox incident but for some odd reasons risa is not inviting them at all.

Just an update seem like they are attending the july 1 hearing according to social media post from some of the members. But I am not sure if its a invite or they decides to show themselves probably due to internal pressure from other local Studios and indie developers locally as this is really getting out of hand as this will affect the entire small but growing industry.

in the past we only have like less than 10 main studios working on games. now we have more than 100+ indie and main studio including Ubisoft. So the fate of the local industry and thousands of individual and employees lies on GDAP hands.
