I'm so very grateful for PeopleMakeGames giving me a platform to speak about the impact the dismissal from Rockstar has had on my family because it has been profound. We miss our dogs more than anything in the world and would do anything to have them both back. Unfortunately that cannot happen.

Listen to fired Rockstar worker Will Masilane detail how losing his job meant losing the life he had built in Edinburgh, with his girlfriend and his beloved dogs Abby and Lonnie The four of them had made the move to the Scottish capital from Australia two and half years prior.

Jenson Huang has also singlehandedly make the black leather jacket extremely cringe. I'm sorry but you have to absolutely trash the shit out of your black leather jacket if you don't want to be associated with the stench of a rich AI-addled exec

The material effectiveness of the BDS Xbox boycott shouldn't be a condition to be met to warrant reporting from outlets. We build trends from singular petulant reddit posts and report "insider" rumours without shame, the least anyone could do is *mention* an ongoing genocide.

Mitch Dyer@mitchyd.bsky.social · last wk.

Interesting that almost all analysis of Xbox in freefall completely ignores an organized boycott intended to harm the company financially. Meanwhile, multiple news stories on the home page all month about PlayStation boycotts that haven't even happened yet.

One thing I've learned from operating an independent reader-funded games publication is that I'm absolute dogshit at self-promotion and I need to get better at that.

Hey! For a feature at Exalclaw, I’d like to hear how you or someone you know has broken a Playdate. Small dings, larger breaks, anything in between, would love to hear about it. DMs are open, also reachable at the email in my bio. Thanks, and shares appreciated!

I've been making a conscious effort to be away from Bsky so I missed this really good piece by Jess. I appreciate the consideration to cultural sensitivities when talking about a Chinese game! Homophobia, however, is ultimately bad no matter where it stems from

Jessica Cogswell 🌸@jessicogs.bsky.social · 4w ago

So I decided to write about how a particularly heinous incident that happened earlier this year and the ongoing Valko mess has caused me to end my relationship with Love and Deepspace www.gamespot.com/articles/im-...

Just read this piece and it's outstanding writing that speaks to the collective anger we have against Microsoft. Microsoft is *bad* at videogames if it can destroy legacies so quickly, so easily.

What does it say about a company when it doesn't understand—or at any real level seem to care about—something it has become the steward of?
Wes Fenlon@wes.readonlymemo.com · 4w ago

What Microsoft did to id Software this week was a tragedy -- a failure to safeguard the lives of its workers. But it was also a telling failure of vision to have *that* legacy in your hands and to discard it like so much nothing

Anyway if you liked this you are going to LOVE my @theflytrapmedia.com article about the explosive growth of the pull to publish trend that's turning Harry Potter fanfic into big book deals. While you're at it you should subscribe to our newsletter! Majority trans & queer feminist media! Good stuff.

Games media publications big and small have been working overtime to show the full scale of fuckery happening at Microsoft. I get that shit sucks. And the media can always do better. But this “nobody is as smart and bold as me and my Bluesky pals” posturing is so tired and unhelpful

Karl Bode@karlbode.com · 4w ago

It's wild how 70% of the stories on the Microsoft game studio layoffs and carnage don't think it's worth noting that the company went on a studio acquisition spree three years ago that involved lying constantly about the vast benefits of mindless consolidation just not useful context, apparently
