- Millennials are killing the Police Industry
- Really love that in this industry you can work on the Game of the Year and still get laid off 🙃 'There's almost nobody left': CEO of Baldur's Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke says the D&D team he initially worked with is gone, due to Hasbro layoffs
- FYI if you are wondering why the acceptance speeches at #TheGameAwards are so short and high level, the nominees were told they only had 30 seconds for an acceptance speech, after which the music would play them off to be “respectful to our time allotment and fellow acceptors”
- Re: the situation at Ubisoft Montreal, this is not the time for your shitty game jokes or hot takes about games. I can't believe I have to fucking say this.
- I'm excited for #SpiderManMilesMorales but even more so in this scene, because it means that the @insomniacgames devs thought it important enough to take the time/budget to include a Deaf character in the story, and capture and animate ASL accurately. #RepresentationMatters 💜
- So in a few years when there’s a massive gap in the industry from all the games that were never made by the people who got laid off at the studios that were shuttered, who’s going to make your games? Where’s “shareholder value” going to come from when you’ve cut to the bone?BREAKING: Microsoft has closed Redfall's Arkane Austin, HiFi Rush's Tango Gameworks, and more in devastating cuts at Bethesda. bit.ly/3UxzCPb
- All the people who were laid off in the industry this year.The biggest potential snub in #TheGameAwards nominations list tomorrow would be this: __________________
- Solidarity with the Riot Games employees who are walking out today to protest harassment and forced arbitration. ✊🏽 If you like video games, support the people who make them, so they can keep doing that in a way that is healthy and sustainable. It’s that simple, really.
- Game developers. Hands down.
- Men in games: If you are surprised right now, because gender-underrepresented colleagues did not approach you about harassment it is because you are not deemed safe to talk to. It means you have not done enough to actively hear them or protect them in the past. Sit with that.
- Without game developers, you don’t have games, so maybe fucking treat the people that create the media that you love with some level of decency and respect because we’re just humans trying to do a goddamn job.What gaming opinion got you like this?
