'A kick in the teeth:' Game workers protest alleged misconduct at MindsEye developer Build A Rocket Boy

I'd encourage you to watch this speech from former employee, Isaac Hudd. Also, given this is yet *another* Edinburgh-based studio at the heart of *another* controversy affecting game workers in the UK, you'll spot some familiar faces from Rockstar who turned up to show their solidarity on the day.

Game workers protested outside the Build A Rocket Boy offices on Saturday, as the studio hosted a playtesting event for fans. BARB has laid off 250-300 employees over the last 13 months & has been accused of installing surveillance software on workers' PCs to root out "saboteurs" within the company

When someone who consistently does and says terrible things dies, it's helpful. It means that they can no longer do and say terrible things. It's a form of cleansing the world. That's a positive thing.

He is my nighttime buddy.

Gave a union workshop alongside my union comrades today and right before it we had a deep, philosophical conversation about gender. So my day is pretty fucking swell.

Reach out to the unions that do exist. Take whatever trainings they and the IWW offer. The way you start building a mass of people is with one person at a time. Who do you know that might be interested in chatting about unions?

This is legit one of the hardest things to do. Build a real relationship with them, political ed, offer them easy ways to engage (ladder of engagement), and consistently be there for them. They have to eventually make the decision to get active, but you can help create a conducive environment.

I'm waiting for a train, so AMA about game worker unions!

I put pho in my water bottle to keep it warm ONE TIME and years later it still smells like pho. I regret my past decision.

One of the things I love most about making games is knowing there are people out there who speedrun them. It brings me a lot of joy and I love watching them do it.

As someone who really dislike horror movies and shows, I haaaaaaaate how many ads there are for them. Even the ads alone make me feel horrible and I have to change tabs and mute it right away.

I appreciate all the coverage the horrible Xbox layoffs are getting from the press, but it doesn't feel like enough to stop it from happening again. Execs don't seem to care about negative press. They're only going to stop if we build enough power to apply pressure on something they do care about.

To players who are mad: we see you! The secret sauce to saving the games industry is developing player solidarity with workers. If you're seeing what's happening to gamedevs across our artform and you're mad about how devs are being treated? Tell them!

This is why I refer to what's happening in the games industry right now as attempted mass destitution.

Management not only laying people off but then trying to stamp out any memory of those people or their (in some cases decades-long!) contribution to the company is so fucked up, it makes my skin crawl.

Has any journalist asked Asha Sharma about Microsoft being complicit in genocide yet?

I love that our work at @nogamesforgenocide.com was a part of helping this fail. Perhaps Microsoft should consider not supporting a genocide and then maybe more people would be willing to pay for its services?

well this shook me out of my maudlin mood

I'm 10 days away from going on vacation for two weeks and I'm counting down the hours. Can't wait, I really need a break. I've got several commitments I have to get through before I go, so wish me luck that they do not take much energy and time.

Very proud of my union. It’s a good thing we organized or we would be forced to take whatever severance the company deems appropriate. Organize! ✊

Hello Bluesky! I'm going to work on something to autopost uk games jobs here (probably just a weekly roundup since anything more would be insane)

Psychological warfare? Pretty much. Class warfare? Absolutely.

Companies get acquired -> make shared services redundant because larger company already has them -> let smaller company go indie -> remove shared services -> struggle bus because shared services is completely gone.

Join a union 🌱 ✊

I have an incredible amount of anger for all the CEOs and executives that have chosen to absolutely destroy the lives of so many games industry workers. So. Much. Anger.

Companies get acquired -> make shared services redundant because larger company already has them -> let smaller company go indie -> remove shared services -> struggle bus because shared services is completely gone.

If you've ever wondered why I don't consider full time employment to be "permanent", this is why. This isn't unique to Xbox, this is how almost every single game company operates.
