I just think about this advice from @nogamesforgenocide.com quite a bit... for no reason in particular

The embargo for the Forza Horizon 6 preview drops today. Please consider standing in solidarity with @nogamesforgenocide.com and not signalling to Xbox (and largely Microsoft) that they can count on your money. There's no right/wrong way to protest, but you can pledge your support 🎮

Humble Grove is the latest on the list of principled game devs to sign our pledge to boycott and divest from Microsoft. Consider following and supporting them and their work - and contacting us if you're a game dev who wants to discuss doing the same!

This wasn't an easy decision to make, but also in some ways it was. It's so important we show solidarity with the Palestinian people in whatever ways we can. I hope to see more game developers follow suit and make the pledge to @nogamesforgenocide.com

We've signed the pledge! Humble Grove will not be taking funding from or publishing on Microsoft Platforms going forwards. If you're a game dev, streamer, journalist or even just someone who enjoys playing games, you can sign too.

Banger episode alert: we have Meghna Jayanth on as a guest! She's here to talk about her upcoming game All Will Rise, and their very cool decision to break a contract with Microsoft over BDS. More news too - new Xbox (don't buy it) and more Mindseye mysteries! LINKS⬇️⬇️⬇️

New interview out! @jackmcgovan.bsky.social asked me all about @allwillrise.bsky.social and our decision to give back money to Microsoft as part of our support for @nogamesforgenocide.com. Good insightful questions, take a look: www.sower.world/all-rise-gen... #indiegames #boycott #freepalestine

Microsoft is the priority target for @nogamesforgenocide.com given the tech corp's ties to the IDF, & small indie developer @allwillrise.bsky.social recently broke contract with Xbox to support the campaign. I spoke to them about their decision & why progressives must take up more space in games.

Thank you Ian for marking and informing people about the games owned by Microsoft! Really useful resource and example of adhering to the boycott and spreading the word

We signed the pledge, will you? Come on, game devs!

The Palestinian-led BDS movement and @nogamesforgenocide.com welcome the meaningful solidarity of @allwillrise.bsky.social and all game developers. Join the BDS movement and No Games for Genocide by signing its pledge now. Go to nogamesforgenocide.com for more info.

As a Palestinian, being posted on the official BDS page is incredible humbling. Games with a social justice, anti genocide, anti billionaire message are in short supply these days, and I'm glad to be with a team that has integrity, morals, and a heart that knows what is RIGHT. FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

had a fantastic chat with Red Barrels — the only?? explicitly leftist games podcast — about @allwillrise.bsky.social and our decision to pledge @nogamesforgenocide.com — a very fun and raucous conversation, do check it out 🔥

45 minutes left to back us!!! Aaaaaaaa what a ride, so thankful to our community & everyone who shared, backed, played, left feedback — and a big shout out to @nogamesforgenocide.com for coming with us on this wild glorious journey ✊🏽⚖️🔥

We are so proud of the folks at Speculative Agency for their bold, principled stance, and for using their platform to show us all that, piece by piece, with each other's solidarity, we can build a games industry divested from genocide. Before their Kickstarter ends, consider supporting them!

Before the end of our #Kickstarter, we want to give one last shoutout to the brilliant @nogamesforgenocide.com. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We have been so proud to bring more awareness. Back All Will Rise here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe... #IndieGame #GameDev #IndieDev

So proud to have made a contribution to the amazing work of @nogamesforgenocide.com. Games can be a force of political change, both in their fictions and in their material realities!

Less than 2 days to go and the All Will Rise Kickstarter smashed through €50k! THANK you everyone for your support and community! For folks on the fence — here’s the team asking the eternal question of 2026: do you dream of revenge on billionaires? (course you do) www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

“We’re not naive–we know that our action on its own won’t move the needle much. But if enough developers and studios join us in this boycott, [we] do have the power to pressure Microsoft to end its complicity in Israeli genocide.” JOIN US @nogamesforgenocide.com ✊🏽 www.theguardian.com/games/2026/m...

Today, All Will Rise was featured in @theguardian.com! We’re thrilled that we’ve been able to use our voice to highlight the importance of @nogamesforgenocide.com. Find out how you can use yours. Read the article here: www.theguardian.com/games/2026/m... #IndieGame #GameDev #IndieDev

Seriously consider joining @nogamesforgenocide.com. This works if many people stand up together.

here is our full statement for the record. we just want to thank everyone who has covered us, reached out to us or backed our kickstarter specifically to support us bc of our pledge - it’s scary to take a stand, but the solidarity we have felt is immense 💪🏽 www.allwillrise.com/dev-blog/no-...

The creators of gloriously unearthly anti-capitalist deckbuilder All Will Rise have announced that they're joining the No Games For Genocide boycott against Microsoft's business links with the Israeli military. https://bit.ly/4unTxBz

thank you @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social for bringing the cold, hard facts about Israeli genocide & Microsoft’s complicity to their audience in covering our @nogamesforgenocide.com pledge. we love to see courageous reporting in games, and we are so grateful for the support from our community 💪🏽

This is fantastic. Also difficult with how scarce funding is for everyone. Please back the Kickstarter & make sure All Will arise gets released.

Part of how we can support indie devs who are taking a principled stance by signing our Boycott Xbox Pledge and refusing to receive money from Microsoft is to financially support their projects ourselves!!! Consider supporting All Will Rise 🇵🇸💜

Proud of my team for standing with justice and the truth. If we all followed this example it would be a real statement, but the fact of the matter is, people are afraid to. Sad that money is always intertwined with bloodshed of the innocent.

Thank you to @pcgamer.com for covering All Will Rise and our support of @nogamesforgenocide.com. We refuse the idea that commercial success is worth the price of our consciences. We encourage others in the industry to join us and take a stand. #Activism #IndieGame #GameDev #IndieDev

Please get in touch with us if you want to discuss taking action similar to the amazing folks at All Will Rise! We're here to support and empower folks to take action in solidarity with Palestine -- you're not alone, where there's a will there's a way! 🇵🇸💜 Email us at [email protected]

This was a very difficult decision for us as a small indie team. Please stand with us and @nogamesforgenocide.com ❤️ #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev #freepalestine

Principled positioning we could all use more of in this industry tbh. Check out @nogamesforgenocide.com

If you're part of an indie team and are horrified by Israel's genocide then HAVE A CONVERSATION about @nogamesforgenocide.com. We have the power to put pressure on Microsoft and WIN. It is NOT impossible. We DO have power. If you're worried or feel awkward abt it, GET IN TOUCH I WILL HYPE YOU UP 💪

all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com — it’s a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand 🔥 www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Another great day to tell Microsoft that you're done with Xbox until they cease their participation in the genocide in Palestine! Check out the pledge. Lots of ways to participate in the campaign.🌞

Signed :)

Remember to keep up the pressure on Microsoft by boycotting Xbox and spreading the word about the boycott as long as Microsoft stays complicit in genocide against Palestinians. Details about our calls to action on our website - and sign our pledge here: nogamesforgenocide.com/take-action/...

Reminder: This allows means no buying, renting or streaming of Forza Horizon 6.

Good time to tap the sign

Anyway, in case you needed a reminder that your money has power over these corporations and their dumb decisions. As one of the first signatures of the @nogamesforgenocide.com pledge, I can assure you that your boycott will put pressure on Microsoft nogamesforgenocide.com

Thanks a lot for the important work @nogamesforgenocide.com. All, we just launched our kickstarter yesterday and there's a playable demo you can check out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

Very proud to have said no to Microsoft for All Will Rise, based on their complicity in genocide. Hold platforms to account.

This is good work by @allwillrise.bsky.social. NO GAMES FOR GENOCIDE.

Thank you so much to the amazing team at All Will Rise for signing our pledge and refusing to publish their game (which you should buy and support!) on Xbox until Microsoft end their complicity in Israel's genocide. If you're a developer team interested in doing the same, give us an email!

v proud to say our team at All Will Rise has officially signed up to @nogamesforgenocide.com -- in solidarity with BDS we will NOT be publishing our game on Xbox unless and until Microsoft end their complicity in Israel's genocide. You can read more about it and pledge here nogamesforgenocide.com

Been updating my streamlog and adding to my blacklist. I've signed a boycott pledge for @nogamesforgenocide.com. Here's a shortlist of some of the larger companies whose games I won't be streaming till further notice. More information at nogamesforgenocide.com
