Lasty, I co-launched @nogamesforgenocide.com with a bunch of incredible folks and it's had such a good reception.
It took two years to create and release this project and I'm so glad it's out in the world and we're seeing people take concrete actions because of it. 6/6

No Games For Genocide
The games industry is complicit in genocide. It’s time to divest.

I talked with the wonderful folks at Aftermath about the 34 Rockstar workers who were fired in what seems like a textbook case of what union busting looks like.
It's bullshit, and it's nice to see the press cover this well. 5/

Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.
I know this because they tried to recruit me and I strongly considered it but they’re also a “do an unpaid writing test where you have to also make it playable” company so that’s not something I vibe with

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does
