the bullies at school keep making me squeeze through narrow gaps so that they can seamlessly integrate cutscenes into gameplay without a loading screen.
Without serious public pushback, trillionaire corporations like Microsoft will continue to treat talented developers like Naomi Green as expendable. Help us break this unbalanced system and #SaveGameWorkers by telling Microsoft to end their cycles of layoffs: shorturl.at/5ruBE

Honestly still in disbelief that Colorado is a real place. Toffee, on the other hand, believes she is owed every single piece of sausage her snoot detects
Last week, in the wake of yet another round of mass layoffs across the company, Xbox announced that Fallout 5 is in preproduction, Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters are coming, and that Obsidian are working on a new Fallout project. https://bit.ly/4hpOoof

say what you will about the internet, but it’s undeniably the best way to find new stupid stuff to be insane about every day
Time between ruthlessly laying off the person who did the work & Xbox claiming that work as a forward-looking team victory: 14 days. www.gamespot.com/articles/xbo...

Did you know that in official numbers (often extracted from WARN notices), contractors aren't counted as cut employees? So the games industry bloodbath is even worse than being reported. Big ups to Rebekah for covering what many game workers already know: it's past time we fight for our dignity.

Bethesda Games Studios’ Montreal workers are being treated especially poorly by XBOX and we won’t stand for it. Here are the details. If this upsets you let Microsoft know: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...
microsoft is in full damage control mode following last week's layoffs. its main strategy so far? namedrop sequels to popular series at every turn. but despite what execs like asha sharma might want you to think, those series were made by people, and now they'll never be the same

The timing of this kind of press is intentional. How are they going to make these games when Bethesda and Obsidian collectively laid off hundreds? Don’t fall for it.
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 3w agoNEW: Bethesda has announced a slew of new Fallout games, including Fallout 5 and Fallout 3 + New Vegas remasters. The company also confirmed my scoop last week that it is working with Obsidian on a Fallout game. I spoke to Todd Howard about the roadmap: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
