all right folks we finished all of mad men so who is who in the office when it comes to game dev roles? roger sterling is the ceo that comes in the weekend after playing a great game and asks to pivot

Over 1,000 Ubisoft workers around the world have walked off the job. In response to a return-to-office mandate, layoffs, and the cancellation of several games, workers launched a three-day strike. The workers walked out in response to five French unions issuing the strike call.

Know anyone interested in writing video games? I'm chatting about it next Thursday, 6PM at MIT, so plan ahead #writing #gamedev www.meetup.com/bostongamede...

As of today, Feb 11. I know of so many games industry layoffs in 2026 that it impacts over 50% as many people that i know of than i know who were impacted in the entirety of 2025. Its going to be a long year.

the cycle of “devs working for years to make a game > game launches (and it doesn’t matter how successful it is) > two week waiting period > most of the team laid off” is not only entirely unsustainable but genuinely horrifying

one of my favorite game turns a decade old and what a great day to replay it

my obāchan passed away this morning, and i'm reminded of how cathartic it was to work on Hindsight when my ojīchan died. My life mirrored the game as we explored it. art is a beautiful expression of grief. her passing makes me *want* to make something to process my feelings. what a gift! i miss her.

can't believe it took until season 7 for don draper to finally have a threesome
