The Game Developers Conference has decided to help Amir Satvat’s Games Community with the equivalent of a $108,000 grant in the form of GDC Expo Passes for game job seekers.

Satvat has become well known in gaming (with more than 100,000 followers on LinkedIn) because he has provided aggregated game job openings and other services for job seekers at a time when the industry has seen at least 33,000 layoffs in the past 2.5 years. More than 2,800 people have credited Satvat for helping them find jobs in gaming.
