The bosses are stealing our game industry, and we aim to take it back! We’re calling game workers, allies, and fans alike to join emergency rallies on WEDNESDAY, JULY 15th! Check this thread for times and locations as they’re established: 🧵

🪟📝📢 Au moins 3200 travailleureuses de Xbox se retrouvent licencié·es. Les syndicats du groupe publient une liste de demandes sur la plateforme Player’s Voice de Microsoft. Nous avons besoin de votre soutien et vote pour forcer la direction à y répondre : feedbackportal.micro...

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.

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

They crunch us and bleed us dry and leave the broken bones for scraps, and they make money every step along the way

a bloodbath

Die Bosse und die Regierungskoalition behaupten, dass in Deutschland zuviele krankfeiern. Die @igmetall.bsky.social hat bereits vor einem Jahr darauf hingewiesen, dass das Gegenteil der Fall ist. www.igmetall.de/politik-und-...

The Ubisoft Barcelona works council announces a series of strikes to protest against the unjustified layoffs, and defend their jobs. Faced with executive greed, workers organize. Mobilization is our only guarantee! 🔥 #ubisoft #layoffs #ere #gamedev

Our campaign for a union at Rockstar continues! Today, we've filed for recognition with @rockstargames.com, asking Rockstar to meet with their workers to agree a deal for good working conditions, fairness and a say at work. We await Rockstar's response. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

✊ Ubisoft Barcelona employees will strike six times between June 30 and July 16. 📉 The strike follows Ubisoft's decision to lay off 51 employees, around 28% of the studio's workforce. 🛡️ Workers are demanding job protection and guarantees against future layoffs.

Auch wir sind dabei und schwitzen, damit wir morgen noch einen Sozialstaat haben #dgb #gewerkschaft #demo #berlin

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...

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.

🇬🇧🔵Quantic Dream : 115 planned layoffs, irregular redundancy plan, generative AI in ambush ? The consultation and union negotiations about the planned layoffs are still going on. The studio's management wants to destroy 115 jobs. www.stjv.fr/en/2026/06/q...

Join us in the fight to keep our workers rights! 27.06.2026, 12:00 at Invalidenpark ✊

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

Another day, another round of #layoffs: This time they are coming to Metacore's #Berlin studio which gets shut down, due to further market concentration. Our solidarity goes to those who are affected. www.gamesmarket.global/metacore-shu...

GTA fans have been on the edge of their seats at the rumours a new video is about to drop… Well the wait is over. We present: the public launch of the Rockstar IWGB Game Workers Union. Our platform, to tell our story. youtu.be/iLOq_6rOpoM

Congratulations to the workers at #RockstarGames for the formation of their union: @rsgworkersunion.bsky.social Despite #union busting and illegal #layoffs they persisted. Their fight for justice and fairness continues. ✊🏻✊🏿✊🏽 Solidarity, comrades. bsky.app/profile/rsgw...

🇬🇧✊ The STJV section at Arkane is calling for a strike on May 28 to secure serious and fair negotiations on remote work conditions. Its terms must be negotiated based on workers’ experiences rather than imposed unilaterally by management. www.stjv.fr/en/2026/05/a...

🇬🇧🏴🚩 Layoffs, liquidations: national call to strike in the video game industry The french video game industry is on the brink of the abyss, and is suffering its worst social crisis in more than 20 years. The STJV calls for a day of strike on Wednesday, May the 27th. www.stjv.fr/en/2026/...

it's conference day! 🌞

🔵Annulation de Spellcasters et plan de licenciement à Quantic Dream : qui aurait pu prédire ? La direction de Quantic Dream a annoncé l’arrêt brutal du développement de Spellcasters Chronicles, et un plan de "restructuration" menaçant 95 emplois en France.

This could seem trivial when our comrades from Spiders or Kylotonn have to fight against the closure of their studio and loss of their jobs, but these situations share a common thread: they emerge when bosses decides to do whatever they want without taking their workers' opinions into consideration.

It is not acceptable that an employer would decide to force their way through without negotiating in good faith with the legitimate representatives of their workers, even less so on a subject which agitates society as much as this, because of the social, labour and ecological questions it raises.

Eventually, management unilaterally decided to start a pilot phase and simply informed the CSE, while conditioning negotiations on a framework for AI use to maintaining that pilot phase.

The workers' representatives committee (CSE) repeated over and over, through decisions voted in official meetings, that management should negotiate on this topic with the STJV, but none of the changes made byt the company tackled the main issue: the lack of proper "social dialogue".

🇬🇧⚖️The STJV is suing Amplitude Studios, which is trying to force its way through on generative AI without discussing with unions. Since January, management has been changing their AI plans to avoid negotiating with our union, then plans to start a pilot phase in May⤵️

You see, they simply had to close down all the studios and fire all the workers 😌

May 1st was a great time! Keep in touch and organize, find us at game-workers.de

Cette liquidation est un immense gâchis. Nous espérons les joueureuses continueront d'apprécier nos jeux, mais aimerions qu'iels évitent de donner leur argent à Nacon. Nous allons tout faire pour que les directions de Spiders et Nacon ne restent pas impunies. Soutien à toustes. La lutte continue ✊

71 travailleureuses voient leur emploi, carrière et revenus sacrifiés par l’incompétence et la malveillance des directions de Spiders et Nacon. Car tout montre que cette liquidation est un choix prémédité de Nacon, qui en a créé les conditions et n'a jamais vraiment essayé de sauver le studio.

🕷️Spiders a été mis en liquidation judiciaire aujourd'hui, le 29 avril. D’ici quelques semaines, le studio cessera définitivement d’exister. Communiqué complet de la section STJV à Spiders, en première ligne depuis des semaines : www.stjv.fr/2026/04/liqu...

A robust, engaged union is a strategic advantage for any company. It's a workforce that's engaged with the business. It's a direct line to the insights of the people who know your product best. It's clearer communication than any annual survey. It is good for business.

This liquidation is such a waste. We hope our games will still be enjoyed, but we would like gamers to avoid giving their money to Nacon. We will do everything in our power to hold the heads of Spiders and Nacon accountable. Our support goes to everyone. The fight will go on✊

71 workers will see their job, career and income slashed by Spiders and Nacon executives' incompetence and malice. Because everything points to this liquidation being premeditated by Nacon, who created its conditions and never really tried to save the studio.

🇬🇧🕷️Spiders' liquidation has been ordered today, April 29. In a few weeks, the studio will forever cease to exist. Complete press release from the STJV section at Spiders, which has been on the frontline in the past weeks : www.stjv.fr/en/2026/04/s...

It's in two days! Are you joining us in Berlin and Frankfurt?
