Please consider supporting folks in tough situations who lost things like life insurance completely unexpectedly. If you're unable, please signal boost. Or if you're in the industry, leverage your network to help connect people to potential opportunities. Focus on the humans
I'm going to keep sharing this, and hopefully more creators will in too. Tonight we made $815 for those impacted from the Epic Games layoffs. So many people need help, and some people want it directed specifically, if so please note it when donating. ko-fi.com/alexmuirgamedev

So it’s been a couple weeks, how’s the new Fortnite Chapter Seven settling in? I saw a lot of responses asking if people can also share what they LOVE about it - so let’s open this up a bit! Same rules apply (see below!) but please share how the vibes are, what you’re loving, what you want to see improved, and any thoughts on the updates so far (and to come 🤭). Bonus points if you share a favourite clip or a new player story! Housekeeping rules as before 🗒️: * Respect others' opinions - we are one community!💝 * Keep it courteous - mute and block buttons exist!🚫 * Share any media - seeing the feedback, helps!📸 * Stay focused - keep it Battle Royale!🧠 * We will prioritise - this is still game dev, some may take time⏰ And - thank you! 🎁

“It makes me feel good to see people who are doing something they love to do and enjoying the work of it. Isn’t it wonderful to think that each one of us has a different talent, something that we can use to help us and somebody else?”

The layoffs this week hit close to home, so I wrote an essay that I hope might be helpful for anyone in the games industry who's worried about the year ahead.  It's time for real talk. pushtotalk.gg/p/how-to-be-st…

I was impacted by today's layoffs at Epic Games. I was fortunate enough to work with some very talented people and I appreciated every minute of it. If anyone has any potential job openings, please reach out.

I was laid off today. So I'm putting out the feelers. If you know of any positions open, feel free to send them my way! I've got 6 years of experience working in gaming, almost all of that in Influencer Marketing and Relationship Management.

It's been an amazing ride working with some of the most talented people in the industry during my 7+ years at Epic But today that time has come to an end. I wouldn't trade the time, experiences, or friendships for anything I love you all and look forward to this new journey❤️

Heartbroken to type this out, but I was affected by the Epic layoffs today. I’m so proud of the work I did at Psyonix and Epic. I had some of the most life changing experiences. I’m looking for work effective immediately in social media, marketing, and talent management.
