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.

UPDATE: I've obtained a WARN notice filed in Texas that reveals 136 employees have been laid off at id Software (including remote workers), with another 22 people being ousted at Bethesda Game Studios' office in Austin. The overwhelming majority of those laid off were CWA union members.
Chris Kerr@kerrblimey.bsky.social · 4w agoNEW: Multiple sources speaking confidentially and posting publicly online have indicated that around 50 percent of the folks at DOOM developer id Software have been laid off by Microsoft.

France's @stjv.fr calls for a strike in the French #gamesindustry over the ongoing layoffs, as they are currently affecting #gamedevs at Quantic Dream, as well as other studios bsky.app/profile/stjv...
Syndicat des Travailleureuses du Jeu Vidéo@stjv.fr · last mo.Summer Grève Fest : Appel à la grève dans tout le jeu vidéo le 25/06 Il est urgent de nous organiser contre les licenciements et pour l'avenir du jeu vidéo. Un rassemblement aura lieu à Quantic Dream en soutien aux travailleureuses menacés de licenciement. www.stjv.fr/2026/06/summ...
While the studio heads are lying and trying to divide workers, we fear the consequences on the studio and its workers. The already struggling production on Star Wars Eclipse will be affected. David de Gruttola and Guillaume de Fondaumière crossed the Rubicon. They must stand by the consequences.
Pretending to rely on "social dialogue" on one hand, and making it impossible on the other: it didn't work for Don't Nod, it will not work for Quantic. Last Thursday, 100+ workers walked off a second time against this despicable plan. David de Gruttola himself came to check on the picket line…
David de Gruttola ("David Cage") and Guillaume De Fondaumière are preventing worker representatives from… representing workers. After illegally remove their access to the studio's mailing lists, they are refusing to give enough delegation hours and means of communication to our union delegates.

Ubisoft EMBARGOED news to outlets about the layoffs and studio closures, FYI. Employees were told this morning. And then many reached out to us. Companies trying to embargo layoffs and closures might be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in my 16 years.
So this is what IGN management thinks of fair wages. #IGNLive
IGN Creators Guild@ignunion.bsky.social · 2mo agoIGN Entertainment is refusing to pay its workers the wages we deserve, even as we make #IGNLive the event that it is this weekend. So we left a message that can’t be ignored. And you should too. Let our upper management know that you support us by sending them an email here: bit.ly/4e2uUCP
