Seen the recent news around Rockstar and their treatment of pro-union staff? Want to find out how unions can help the games industry? Come along to the next Glasgow Games Soapbox where we have former IWGB Games Union chair @austinkelmore.com speaking www.meetup.com/videogames-g...

Protests continued today outside Take Two's offices in London, but also in Paris, where Le Syndicat des Travailleureuses du Jeu Vidéo (@stjv.fr) came out to show their international solidarity with the fired Rockstar workers.

Over 200 Rockstar staff have written to management in support of unfairly fired union members. We have published more details on our website, although we have not yet released the exact contents of the letter: www.gameworkers.co.uk/rockstar-ope...

“Say sorry, be nice is a Rockstar slogan, it has been for many, many years. At least in this instance, it doesn’t seem like the company is interested in living by it.” Watch the video of our demonstration & interviews with dismissed workers at Rockstar North here!

Any resemblance to real human beings is pure coincidence (in both cases)

Everytime I go back on twitter to read something someone linked me I regret it. The worms have eaten those people's brains. There is no other explanation. The change is dramatic 🙄

Oh they're afraid afraid.

Anyone in London want to swing by before work?

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct. Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"The Séance of Blake Manor is an autumnal treat filled with spooky scenes but it is also that most joyous of discoveries: a game that challenges, delights, thrills and educates in equal measure." - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Guardian www.theguardian.com/games/2025/o...

An excellent article from the BBC on the situation at Build A Rocket Boy.

As someone from NI this English flag thing is so strange. What do you mean you didn't already have flags flying up on every lamp post?? We're so desensitised to it here

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

Another artist JOB ALERT! 📣 This time for a Game Artist Generalist. (must be based in Ireland). My friends at Biscuit Factory Games are looking for someone who can do a bit of concept work & 3D test-models to try & validate an art direction too. Send portfolio to [email protected]

For those that come after~ #clairobscur ##expedition33

Hey 2D artists! JOB ALERT! 📣 Especially those who do cozy cartoony or pixel art. I have some game dev friends here in Galway from Psychic Software (Just released Necromancer's Tale) that are looking for an artist to team up for their next game. Send your portfolio over to [email protected]

I had the pleasure of sitting down with @gibiz.bsky.social on behalf of @gameworkers.co.uk to talk a bit about how things are going for the union, how the industry has responded to our growth, and what our expectations for the future are.

At the start of the year I was told I was being referred to the hospital for an issue, the receptionist confirmed this was done. Months later I was told there was never any referral and the gp wrote in his notes he was only considering one. I had to pay a private GP to refer me on the NHS.

When I was in high-school I showed a friend a drawing. She gasped and said 'you drew this, its not off Google images?' I said 'All pictures on Google images were drawn by someone.' She was confused, she'd never thought about that before. People who use gen ai are exactly like that 13 year old girl

We are incredibly disappointed by the Labour government's decision to seek advice from such a narrow segment of our industry. You can find our open letter here: www.gameworkers.co.uk/open-letter-...
