We gather here at PEACOCK SQUARE, 2-4 PM PT TODAY to celebrate the life of a once vibrant game industry, killed far too soon by greedy bosses. Wear your mourning fit, and join us for a candlelight vigil in front of The Game Awards, because THE INDUSTRY IS DEAD! actionnetwork.org/events/the-i...

"AVVIES" AWARD WINNERS THREAD. Woe be upon the winners! ❤️ Watch live 👇 www.twitch.tv/UVW_CWA

Join us as we dishonor those who put profits above the creativity and labor of their workers, while also remembering the thousands of people who actually make games a reality! Come hear about real game unions and the contract wins they made for themselves and their coworkers!

The Avarice Awards holds a mirror to the hollow glamour of The Game Awards, as workers continue to have their livelihoods upended by mass layoffs. We are speaking truth to the powers ruining the game industry with their greed! Stream begins on December 10th at 7pm PT / 10pm ET on twitch.tv/UVW_CWA

Want to bring a little union pride to your corner of paradise? One of our members made a UVW flag for your island in ACNH! (Just, uh, maybe don't let Tom Nook see.)

get ready for my silksong attack!

It's that time of year... 🍂 🎃 The Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival is BACK for 2025! 🎃 This year we can support up to 800 players at once in this seasonal pumpkin carving MMO! This year's update comes with new areas and new secrets to find. Hope you don't mind if I re-use the trailer from last year! 😅

Please read our statement regarding the proposed Electronic Arts buyout. We refuse to let corporate greed decide the future of our industry. cwa-union.org/news/release...

Sign our petition urging the US FTC to watch this deal closely. If left unchecked, this deal spells disaster for EA's workers and players alike, but there's still time to do something about it! actionnetwork.org/petitions/ma...

Chandelure! (○+|+○) One of my faves! ☆ #pokemon

I gotta hand it to whatever advertising firm Informa hired to make these, there really is something almost poetic about GDC's advertising being "an AI-looking depiction of an industry staple being destroyed with no clear elaboration of what comes after." Masterclass in unintentionally nailing it.

I'll be one of the speakers for our union workshop at #QGCon tomorrow!!! :]

QGCon is coming in just over a week! Come to our talk GAY PEOPLE UNIONIZE - WHY NOW, WHY YOU on Saturday 26th at 2pm in the auditorium to learn about why you (gay) should unionize, now! bsky.app/profile/qgco...

I genuinely adore freelancing. I love getting to do my own thing and work with so many incredible teams. But I gotta admit not being able to take long weekends because we don’t get paid federal holidays is the PITS 😭

'Microsoft has no place being accomplice of a genocide:' Arkane union workers demand Xbox maker sever ties with Israel

Keep up the pressure! #SaveSpeech

hey game devs, what kind of error do we think this is? 🤔

Contrapoints comments on leftists picking up another “lost cause” in the case of Palestine is so disgusting that I’m starting to understand why she spotlights so many hours on the concept of leftist infighting…it’s all just aesthetic tone policing at the end of the day. Delete ur channel please

Mass layoffs affecting thousands of workers. Cancelled development cycles sweeping years of hard work under the rug. We have seen time and again how little the worker matters to corporate leadership. 🪶 Sign & share the first step for change: actionnetwork.org/forms/were-d...

Tch, respect trans people or perish!! #shadowthehedgehog Reddaw from that famous DC x Sonic crossover panel🙂‍↕️👀

We recently launched a charity drive for Palestine on Itch, and we are seeking games and content from game devs and creators to participate in a bundle 100% of the proceeds going to UNRWA USA. You can find more info by visiting our jam page itch.io/jam/games-fo...

📞 just a phone call away initially created this to be the second half of the clefairy scene, but i am loving the idea of gengar as well... how about a 3-way call? 😂 #b3d #pokemon #blender

they are blasting Hanoi Hannah at the marines in LA omfg this is so good

I fucking love this city, mannnnn!!! LA is with the shits. May we continue to inspire an entire generation and US-wide movement 🫡

There is nothing more fundamental to the labor movement than the idea that an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Over and over again throughout our history, wealthy bosses have relied on armed militias to suppress working people’s efforts to exercise our constitutional freedoms.

If you care about video game workers and want to follow all the game worker unions across the world, we've created a starter pack with all the ones on BlueSky. If we've missed one, let us know! go.bsky.app/PNcLPFU

if you're tired of this being the norm, here's a reminder to sign our petition!! uvw-cwa.org

We are very excited to announce we officially have MERCH! Proceeds go to a mutual aid fund for Sesame workers in need! 💚 A special thank you to our Swaggle Rock team for all their hard work in this endeavor 💚 shop.worxprinting.coop/collections/... #sesamestreet #sesameworkersunion #union

NEW: Nearly 200 Overwatch 2 devs have unionized at Blizzard. It's the second wall-to-wall union at the studio after the World of Warcraft team did the same last year. Organizing members tell Kotaku the mass layoffs last year by Microsoft was one of the catalysts, alongside pay and RTO policies.

I would be a lot more happy about paying more for games if I knew that revenue was actually going to the devs who worked on it. Getting residuals would fundamentally change the structure and nature of this industry.

Our colleagues in the Vox Media Union have put together a Go Fund Me. Please, if you've enjoyed what we do... If I've ever helped you in some way... If you've ever loved something more because of what we've written... Please give what you can. The next few weeks and months are going to be hard.

if you're tired of this being the norm, here's a reminder to sign our petition!! uvw-cwa.org

Ignoring the fact that these rich tourists aren't going to space and aren't real crew members... That previous female crewed space mission being referenced was of course the Soviets who easily dominated the space race technologically and in social representation.

Hey all! I still haven't been able to get any cash flow this month, so any help would be incredibly appreciated. I have only about $70 worth of pending bills & will be able to breath a little more easily in May 🥲 it's my birthday month too so it truly feels awful to be slugging it

przełamałam się ostatnio żeby pokazać mamie co ja właściwie robię. Jakoś wyjątkowo ją rozczulił ten model (´∀｀) wip for FusilliPaganini #lowpoly

feeling petty today

Was really fortunate to contribute as a writer on this game, and I hope folks appreciate the story we helped weave.

Freelancers and contractors aren't impossible to organize. They are just trapped in a cycle of capitalist gig work, the very purpose of which is to strip them of agency and isolate them into self-centered silos that discourage solidarity.

hello! I often do low-poly :)

If you have some favorite low-poly artists (or you are a low poly artist), drop some links here! Curious to see who all is out there.

I make low poly sometimes! But i tend to go for a mixed style more than anything

TODAY: @zenimaxworkers.bsky.social members have authorized a strike. "If Microsoft and ZeniMax continue to demonstrate at the bargaining table that they’re unwilling to pay us fair wages for the value our labor provides to our games, we’ll be showing them just how valuable our labor is.”

oh my GOD????
