The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

Our studio makes games for @xbox.com. We love play, we love all humans and we hate genocide.
@microsoft.com took some great first steps in Sept, but we implore Microsoft to stop supplying the Israeli Defence Forces with any and all technology used to commit genocide.

I know for a lot of people, it sucks we live in this neo-monopoly of platforms.
but it's pretty great that Valve being the ones to dominate PC seem to just simply understand making a product with features people actually want.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Blitzkrank (2xko) is flat broken and I don’t mean in like a “oh wow he’s soo good way” in that his whole kit is busted
Spending more time with him it’s just so crazy that his grapple arm doesn’t have an inch of damage.
Neutral game is just so broken. They’ve reduced a great character imo

I was so keen to talk shit on Ed Sheeran and didn’t get picked 😭
Regardless I had a lovely time, I love REALLY listening to music and people like Derrick have great taste for things I’ve yet to hear
