Raze and Rebuild Studio - A game dev team rising from the ashes. It's should be no surprise that, over the last few years, finding or keeping a stable job in the video game industry hasn't been easy.

ICYMI yesterday, been building something quietly with amazing folks and did a soft launch of @razeandrebuild.bsky.social Follow the studio & the crew if you’re not already. I’m a proud member of @videogameworkers.bsky.social ✌🏾✊🏾 & we’re pro union all the way.

(There's a lot of these deals and conversations going around these days--because the funding and investment environment that is game-specific is so broken *and* one-sided right now.)

If you purchased the bundle: thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. And a huge shoutout to @necrosoftgames.com for their work in organizing this. Are you a gamedev who wants to see more positive change in our industry? WE NEED YOU! Join us. Hit us up. ❤️ uvw-cwa.org/membership

It's thanks to your generosity and solidarity that we can provide real material assistance to laid off devs who are facing eviction, food insecurity, disruptions in medical care, and the like - none of which they would be facing if it wasn't for these callous corporate layoffs.

🗣️ WE DID IT!!! 💪 Last night at midnight, sales of the Game Industry Hardship Fund itch bundle officially ended after we had to up our max goal THREE TIMES... and we STILL broke it! GRAND TOTAL: $252,456 RAISED! AMAZING WORK 🙏

United Videogame Workers-CWA@videogameworkers.bsky.social · 2w ago

🎉 IT'S LIVE 🎉 The game industry hardship fund itch bundle made in partnership with @necrosoftgames.com is HERE. Over 100 games for $10+ bucks: all funds (save for itch fees) go directly to the UVW-CWA Game Worker Hardship Fund. GOOD GAMES FOR A GOOD CAUSE👇 itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Well, we did it - more than $250k for game devs who have been laid off, to be distributed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. Congratulations and thanks to everyone who donated their time, games, and money to help folks out in a time of need.

Brandon Sheffield@brandon.insertcredit.com · 3d ago

Alright y'all, this is it! The final stretch for the game industry hardship fund. We've got $13k to raise in 14 hours to meet the final goal, I think we can do it. itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Least Teams call there, I mean. When job interviews invite me on Teams I get flashbacks now.

I came back from vacation to two work emails: one congratulating me with a raise and another inviting me to what would be my last Teams call

United Videogame Workers-CWA@videogameworkers.bsky.social · 3d ago

We've seen some questions pop up around layoffs: "well, if they were laid off, didn't that mean they weren't doing a good job? Maybe they deserved it." And on its face, that sounds logical and legitimate. Because the opposite would just be pure cruelty, right? ...Right? ...So here's the thing.

It's so funny to me when an entertainment company says "Man up." "Man up and accept shitty art!" "Man up and pay $100 for a game!" I...don't have to? www.pcgamer.com/games/action...
