Trump's comment about Rob Reiner, a beloved American, really demonstrates the rottenness of his character.

Sunday's dilemma: I COULD start creating an online dating profile or start playing Hades 2 instead. From what I have seen folks mention lately, the latter is probably going to be a lot better for my mental health.

my main career compass has been to avoid my work hours empowering world-ruining ultra rich people, around moral distress and right livelihood. I cannot fathom the stress of 14,500 people finding out their job now enriches people who shattered Unity's good will, Jared Kushner, and Mohammed bin Salman

I'm sorry for all the folks affected by layoffs recently. It's not much easier in the indie space and most of us are just getting by. If you are thinking about starting up a studio or going indie, I'm happy to share what I've learned running a small studio for the last 8 years with a remote team.

Game developers don't talk nearly enough about how normalizing long dev cycles has been absolutely ruinous the games industry. We used to do AAA games in 2-3 years on the regular. Now it's "4 years in prepro, 7-10 years in dev." That's a terrible business, if you're not a guaranteed hitmaker.

Find your pockets of influence and do what you can. If you don't have any and you have the emotional bandwidth, then make them and do what you can. Show up for your community. Show up for those less fortunate than you. Live to see another day and do it defiantly.

People are responding to this with confused outrage (the ‘outrage’ part is fair fwiw), so as a reminder: lay-offs are to appease the stock market and Phil is saying this to shareholders. The company isn’t worried about making you mad because you, ultimately, don’t matter. Only shareholders do.

layoffs suck and i'm so sorry y'all. i think i've just run out of words to capture the enormity of how much this whole industry situation sucks. my team is hiring, and it's a lovely place with fantastic people. if you're looking, open roles are here. www.playstation.com/en-us/corpor...

This is a rough week (in a rough year in a rough decade) for the game industry. Be extra kind and supportive to those that have lost their jobs, whether it's sharing other role openings or just being a friend they can talk to. We'll fast track applications to the GIG this week.

To anyone being hit by layoffs today, It's not you. It's them. It isn't your fault. It's theirs. You didn't do anything wrong. They did. They fucked up. Not you.

Laying off thousands of people so that your numbers look better for the quarter while making many more billions is such a f'd up reality. Making numbers go up forever is not sustainable and never was. What a colossal waste of talent and then later the cycle goes back to hiring and acquisition again.

Are you an artist in video games with experience hiring and working with junior-level devs in your craft, and feel VERY VERY STRONGLY about studios needing to plan for and hire into these roles? Hit me up, I'm scheming. 😜

I will be attending Develop: Brighton next week! Let me know if you are also going to be there and want to catch up over coffee and talk about all things games industry-related.

they're right. imagine the horror of someone stealing your assets without compensation
