Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
Maybe the game industry turned into a zombie while we weren't looking and now it's not the person we once loved. Mercy might be the only option.

>they'll just get replaced with another one This is why it's gotta be a focused, organized action with a clear ultimatum and a manifest, Louigi case teaches one-time happenings are easily forgotten and marginalized.

Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
Yeah, I certainly agree about the borderline spammy nature of these posts. That said, just going through one of them made me discover how far some studios are down the rabbit hole of "current thing" activism as seen in the Veilguard scene.

Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
I'd replied to @zetheros about the changes to vfx and video game credits by the quebec government which are contributing to layoffs in Quebec. I was hoping this would move the thread away from DEI/culture war related discussions that focus on morality/representation. I'm not sure if that reply was flagged for removal, I… -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
I'm hearing through friends, acquaintances, and former teammates that Turn10 (Forza Motorsport) is essentially gone. Most upper leadership, the entire environment team, the whole IT / tools / internal support team.

Kind Homeless Man Builds Prosthetic For 3 Legged Cat - Click Here For More! I've had more 3d artists contacting me on Linkedin asking if I had any leads than recruiters asking if I wanted an interview these past two years, it's pretty bad.
