Just want devs to not be treated like shit, not too much to ask

"Sorry, your game sold millions of copies but our projections said it should have sold at least fifteen trillion for shareholders to be satisfied, so we're going to have to fire all of you. Now watch the news unquestioningly report that your game was a commercial failure. Probably because of woke."

Four easy ways to catch a block from me post- game industry layoffs:
1. Insisting they go start an indie studio (with what funding, my dude?)
2. Trumpeting that you saw it coming (ok who cares)
3. Reminding everyone you didn’t like their last game
4. Obviously, being a dick

A still from "The Office" (US version) of Michael Scott arguing with Pam. The text reads: You know what? I'm gonna start loving Dragon Age even harder.

Wishing nothing but the absolute worst for every shitheel exec whos choices led to all of the mass layoffs in the games industry over the last decade. Everytime this happens I just know the bastards are riding high in their new porsche as they destroy peoples lives en masse, people they paid poorly

Thank you so much, for everything. Please keep us informed of where you land, and what projects you’re working on!

I was a writer at BioWare for 5 years (2011-2016). I leaned a lot during that time from exceptional folx in many disciplines, but also specifically from my fellow writers & our amazing editors, on both the ME & DA brands.

Today, not a single one of those writers & editors remains employed there.

A giant middle finger to the studio for how it's treated the people who worked so hard on Dragon Age over the last few years and a second one in particular for how it treated everyone who got caught up in the layoffs/reassignments today and hid behind calling it being 'agile'.

Sincere #ThankYouDADevs to all who have dreamed up, built, and fleshed out Thedas and its characters. The depth and thoughtfulness of these games has brought me a lot of joy and I know myself and many others find them uniquely inspiring. The good you have done ripples out in so many ways. Thank you.

Every professional creative person I know is more precarious than ever. It sucks.

The outlook for all entertainment industries is so dire right now. 🫤

To post about layoffs without directly owning up to the action is disappointingly shitty. If you’re going to do it, be honest. Love my friends at BioWare, they are incredible people that just want to make incredible adventures and have the resources to do it. This isn’t right.

"average apostate mage betrays hero once a Dragon Age game" factoid actualy just statistical error. average apostate betrays mostly 0 times a game. Betrayal Solas, who lives in sad fade land & betrays over 10,000 people each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

oh bother... #EmmrichVolkarin

We would be okay with less media at our fingertips for pennies. I don’t need streaming access to every musician alive or dead at the cost of the collapse of art. I don’t need a never ending mountain of AI slop at the cost of interesting, weird, human films.

Sure, you lost your job at the VA and your mother can’t get her dialysis, but at least you can take solace that a hungry orphan kindergartner is being sent back to Guatemala

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

Great to see President Trump draining the swamp by finally taking on Big Missing And Exploited Children special interests.

wipssss of the boys

seems bad

Image of Taash in their underwear reaching for a point of light above their head with their right hand. They are bathed in radiance. Behind them are the stripes of the Trans flag!

Added a small detail to this after reading some bad news! Taash says: “Trans rights are human rights” and “Protect Trans Kids!”

It’s gonna be a long fucking four years.

the dragon age brainrot came back full force so have a Lucanis sketch from last month #dragonage #veilguard

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

This is so goddamn funny
