A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

1) Tightly scoped projects, with identified and specific needs
2) Everyone works part-time
3) Paying people above this rate, sometimes significantly
4) …I don’t budget in myself yet. I live off of backend, which with our stable of releases has worked out so far (but I want to eventually address)

I've learned (and I am still learning) how to run a game studio for the last seven years doing both creative and biz. Here's a list of guidelines that work for us and might be useful for others that were lessons I've incorporated with our experience and guidance from others. 🧵

I’ve wanted to change it since I was a kid, and am happy to feel even closer to my grandparents who played such a big role in raising me

I know my name change has been causing some confusion - I am returning to my mother’s maiden name of D’Amato. Most of you will know me as Kristen Lynch

Carter was the kind of person that made everyone feel welcome and valued, no matter who they were. In an industry dominated by men, he made sure to prop up and champion the women around him. He wanted nothing more than his friends to be happy & successful. And you were his friend the second you met

The game industry lost one of its brightest shining lights today. For those that had the good fortune to know Carter Lipscomb, he was the life of the party, the reliable friend, and cheerleader. As people share their memories of him, what has struck me the most is the number of women he has mentored

My wife was laid off today by EA. She’s an awesome video game producer with more than two decades of experience. If anyone is in need or knows of anyone in need of a producer please DM me. Greatly appreciate any leads.
