Executives speak of “sustainable growth.”
Workers are asking for sustainable studios: predictable leadership, stable teams, and long-term planning.
Stability isn’t the opposite of growth. It’s the foundation for it.

In her latest for Game Developer, @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social asked industry analysts to break down what on earth is going on at Ubisoft and explain why execs are obsessed with two words that always seem to follow layoffs and closures: 'sutstainable growth.'
Analysts on Ubisoft and the myth of sustainable growth
'Public companies, especially in our industry, have drastically over-prioritized shareholders among other stakeholder groups.'

Here's the one magazine article I've found that covers the fallout of the Death of Optimus Prime in the movie and why they're apologising now.

This is just like UBI. Every study shows it works and is more cost effective but societies‘ hatred of poor people means we‘d rather pay more to make them suffer.

Evidence from a natural experiment in India that provided UBI to all farmers suggests that the binding constraint on investment may be uninsured risk. Rather than more credit, what farmers need is credible downside protection that makes them willing to use existing credit for productive investment.

The 3 late '80s Transformers anime at minimum need a rerelease via a company that does subtitles that aren't awful -- and while we're at it, how about getting Beast Wars II & Neo on home video over here, finally?
the other transformers thing i would like is some sort of home video release of the Japanese shows, WITH the goofy omni productions dubs.

this week, roughly 1,200 ubisoft workers took to picket lines in opposition to a restructuring that will result in mass layoffs, as well as a policy that largely eliminates remote work. so far, ubisoft hasn't budged, but workers say this is just the beginning
![continue demonstrating and escalating until their demands around layoffs and remote work are met.
“We are now discussing what will follow, because we know this is just a starting point,” said Berneau. “This could take the form of new mobilizations like this one or with a different approach [like] legal actions.”
Despite widespread outcry, Ubisoft seems set on its current path, going so far as to suspend and then fire a team lead for publicly criticizing the company’s new five-days-a-week return-to-office policy earlier this month. But workers still believe that with enough time and action, they can budge the obstinate giant.
“We won't stop there," said Berneau, "and are determined to make things change this time."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreigqsgikgonb24epv7a2nrtpbxjd5fslrlk5saker52vo3uervc6zy@jpeg)
