On July 2nd, Microsoft announced they were shelving an unannounced project at ZOS, a shock to over 200 of our devs working on the project.

Y'all ever spent 8 hours wondering if you'll have a job because the trillion dollar corporation that owns your employer decides to not tell anyone, even management, who is being laid off despite systematically removing folks from the workplace in a clearly organized manner? Asking for a friend

BREAKING! We HUMILIATED Charles Koch last night in Washington DC. His family has forked over 150 mil to climate denial propaganda and right-wing institutions. To say this man is a villain is an understatement.
Charles Koch doesn't deserve an award, he deserves to be tried in The Hague.

It's official: our members have overwhelmingly authorized a strike vote.
We are united and prepared to do what it takes to fight for our first contract. We're done playing around with Microsoft.

We won’t back down. We won’t be silenced. Our solidarity is stronger than Donald Trump and the CEOs and billionaires who helped elect him.

Ok lets get into it then. Hi I'm Valentine, I was one of the employees who led most of the walkouts and who was part of the original group pushing for unionization at Blizzard, especially on the WoW team where I worked at the time.

Layoffs always suck but to see people I’ve looked up to for years - who wrote, animated, edited, and brought to life so many stories and characters I love - hurts.
BioWare devs, thank you for bringing wonder, compassion, intrigue, and magic to millions of fans, me included. We’re all in your corner
