A reminder that the absolute best thing you can do if you want to see more projects like this is to get involved and JOIN UVW. Money is great but volunteer time is infinitely more valuable and in short supply, plus you’ll meet amazing people and learn new things!

it's sooo funny that the marvel movies eventually replicated the exact thing people disliked about the comics and preferred the movies for: overstuffed event crossovers that intimidate readers, demand you look at a whole bunch of other shit to know the story, and don't even tell a good story

firing a bunch of people responsible for your good game, hiring some new people and forcing them to make something almost exactly like the old one, miraculously it’s just as good, and then firing a bunch of the new people because your company already ruined its own goodwill. masterful gambit sir

This is so heartwarming! 🥲 It feels like there's been a big shift in recent years with more players coming out to support the workers who make the games they love, and it's incredible to see.

We can add a seventh location to today's #SaveOurDevs march: Tamriel! Elder Scrolls Online fans organized just like we did and marched to support the ZeniMax Online Studios team. Thank you so much! ❤️ youtu.be/jPFIu5i3xxM?...

Game workers and allies are taking action at #SaveOurDevs rallies! Earlier this month, Microsoft reported that they would be laying off thousands of workers across the company – impacting hundreds of union jobs. An injury to one video game worker is an injury to all.

Today game devs from all across XBOX will be marching with us to protest last week's layoff announcement. We deserve a seat at the table on the decisions that affect our lives. It's only by working with us that we can protect our games and our studios.

this is a rly important rally, come out if you can make it! we're at a point where there's gonna be a series of now or never moments for this industry and everyone in it, so make it count 🫵
