Got tagged into a thread about how the community can support laid off devs, so I thought I'd put together a quick infographic. I made this company agnostic, since, well, games industry has been doing this a lot :( More Elder Scrolls specific notes in thread below.

The mega-corporations that own so much of the game industry have proven time and again to be poor stewards for the art and entertainment that we love. Almost the only tool we have against them is to organize. Support unionized workers. Unionize your studio. Dare to dream of a better world.

I have completed Blood and Wine, and with that I have completed The Witcher 3 and both DLCs! Blood and Wine was incredible, one of the best DLCs I have ever played, so deserving of all the praise it's gotten. And that send off at the end had me way more emotional than I expected. PURE CINEMA!

see, but if I go to bed, it'll be tomorrow right away

Ultima is not as known as it once was, tho many have heard of it, but it's influence on CRPGs & JRPGs is difficult to overstate For me, Ultima III was my first (o/t Dungeons of Daggorath), and is why I begged Dad daily to use his PC, learned to build my own, & ultimately fell in love w the medium 🥰

A Nomad hits the streets. Finally starting Cyberpunk 2077 🔥 Given that Witcher is an all-timer and the game is first person open world (my favourite), there's no excuse waiting so long. Loving it already and the photomode seems sick...Let's Go!! #VPRepost #VPSupport

We know what this is, #fallout76 players. Should we tell them?

Whoa. I didn't know Xbox Game Pass was free. Weird. What is this. "The problem with it was that (DOOM: The Dark Ages) was played by millions of fans, but many played it for free on Game Pass."

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

So many amazing, wonderful people - and me - were laid off today. All of them deserve the world and I hope they get back on their feet soon. As for me? I suppose I'm open for work once the shock wears off.

I and a good number of very talented game devs were laid off by Obsidian as part of the Microsoft sacrificial rituals this morning. If you or anyone you know is looking for a Senior Writer/ND with more than two decades' experience in titles like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, please let me know!

I'm very sorry to announce that I was one of the devs affected by the Obsidian layoffs today. At least for four years, it was a beautiful dream. If you need a writer with experience in everything from the fog of war to romance - especially if you're open to remote - please get in touch.

A list of people we know who have been laid off at ZOS and Bethesda: ZOS Community Manager Gina Bruno Lead Dungeon Director Mike Finnigan Writer Designer Andrew Siañez-De La O Writer Designer Julianna Comstock Senior Writer Designer Jeff Grubb Project Art Director Marc Hudgins 1/many

In other news, the beatings will continue until morale improves

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.

Sad to say my time (along with so many others) at Bethesda is over. 💔The past 8 years here has been a dream, surrounded by an amazing team with extraordinarily talented people. Taking a look back at some of my favorite moments and personal social projects.💙

Not feeling well, but feeling okie-dokie! Happy (early) 15 Years NewVegas! And yes, I am keeping the big bundle box lol. It's a good box! #Fallout #NewVegas #Collector

500+ reasons I need a physical drive next console generation 😅 And that's before the games! Consoles are my gaming and entertainment device, period. If we don't get a drive by default, it needs to be easy to add & work seamlessly

This is wisdom, but I see it as part of a couplet "Fall in love with your craft--and craft a life you can love" Shed and molt, embrace and grow. Learn skills, follow your passions, most of all be true to yourself Or in the words of a fav cover Fenwa plays, "Don't Dream it, Be it." 💜🎭

Final Fantasy Resonance is such a brilliant idea. Turn-based, legendary summons, callbacks to the classics. I need it.

Fit check on the Vault Suit and leather bits and bobs, finally upgrading my cosplay. Need to weather the suit & match colouring on the new bits, but I think it's coming together? #Fallout #falloutcommunity #cosplay

In #Starfield, our ships are just as much our home if not more than our houses on the surface. Thankfully, our crew is always there to keep us company! #StarbornSaturday #VirtualPhotography

Oooh #VPEmmrichThursday is a thing? Can always use more Dragon Age on the skyline 💀🥰

“New England” by Fenwa Teryen. I wrote this song after moving from Kansas City to Boston. It’s about our attempts to let go and heal after our life takes a turn. Here’s a little snippet of the chorus.

This is like the most obvious statement ever but shout out to the women covering SGF. It’s a blessing to run into yall bc there are not many of us AT ALL. There are many times I’ll be at a behind closed doors session and be the only woman there or one of just two to three.

This summer in gaming, we had a lot of awesome reveals ☀️ // Edited by me \\
