Got tagged into a thread about how the community can support laid off devs, so I thought I'd put together a quick infographic. I made this company agnostic, since, well, games industry has been doing this a lot :( More Elder Scrolls specific notes in thread below.

Orange and Blue poster titled: How can the community support developers undergoing layoffs? DON'T Don't spread rumors or misinformation About who is/isn't laid off, why anyone was/wasn't laid off, what is going to happen to the game, etc. Don't do things to "support" the devs if they haven't asked Don't review bomb games, cancel subscriptions, boycott the company, or yell at company employees online if the developers haven't asked you to. It does not help them. Don't forget about this The consequences of layoffs don't end when the news cycle moves on. Remember the devs when there's a cool announcement that they should have been a part of, or a bad bug they could have prevented. DO! Do listen to the developers and amplify their voices Use your platform to share the human stories of those affected, not just the impacts it'll have on the game. Do dispel and correct misinformation If you see someone saying something mean or misinformed, shut them down or correct them if you're able to. Do follow the developer's lead If the developers ask for a specific action (like a comment writing campaign, a protest, or removing a post you've made), do it! Do tell them they mattered Tell the team (or individual developers) about the impact their work had on you Do offer direct support, if you can Buy their art, listen to their podcast, leave a LinkedIn review if you worked with them, let them know if your company is hiring, etc.
