when workers make record profits, execs are rewarded with massive bonuses and payouts for guiding company vision when economic pressures produce difficulty, workers are punished and execs are lauded for canny stewardship rotten. my heart goes out to everyone laid off.

At what point do we accept that the games industry is in crisis and that something needs to change? The loss of talent this year is so immense and flies in the face of wisdom.

Looking back on my tweet last week, can't help but feel an amount of embarrassment. We all want to celebrate the accomplishments of workers who created these works of art. The fact that so many have been let go, even after their work lead to success, cannot be ignored.
2023 is no longer one of the best years in gaming, it’s one of the worst it’s difficult to celebrate this industry when the very people who make it special are treated so poorly instead of record profits we should be seeing record retention take care of your people

Corporate loyalty is unrequited. Companies will lay you off without a second thought to save a pittance or to appease greedy shareholders. Corporate loyalty should play no part in your career/life decisions. There are no good corporations. And most importantly: Unionize! ✊

Getting texts from friends impacted by layoffs this morning. It is frustrating - infuriating even - to continue seeing people who strap in to do good work losing their financial security due to poor management. The continued echoes of poor decisions made that >feel< avoidable.

In a healthy industry, this game would already have three publishers fighting for it, and an as of yet unannounced all star voice cast.
Update week 3 on Dino-Sword, a personal game project. All Rough animations for now. Music by @nestormronda give him a follow!

my adventures have only been intergalactic shopping for the parts to build this, my Normandy SR-0
"This game’s marketing says you can spend all day roleplaying as a space pirate or an interplanetary sheriff, and Bethesda made good on such promises. There are so many more experiences I’ve yet to discover." Wan't wait to hear about your future adventures, @GenePark!

EA / bioware will be like “we’re still committed to making quality games and can’t wait to show you dragon age dreadwolf <3” and then fire some of their oldest and most talented creators, including the woman who created the character they’ve turned into the face of the franchise.
