GRIM 🔜 GDC x IFTF @gcbaccaris.itch.io · Jan 13
It's #PortfolioDay again and I'm urgently looking for remote work in game writing/narrative design‼️

I’ve been an indie dev for 10 years and I have worked with clients in the industry since 2019. I also create the Twine Grimoire and volunteer with IFTF.

so funny that his publisher felt this way about In the Hills, The Cities, one of the best horror short stories ever written
papapishu.bsky.social Chris Person @papapishu.bsky.social · 1d
The funniest part about this line of thinking is later Clive Barker revealed just how homophobic his publisher was, and I think about the number of times this has happened that we will never hear about. www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/clive-b...
•CLIVE• BARKE Clive Barker in 2007 Credit: Alamy "I'm a gay man who made creations of which my family did not approve," he says. "Creations in drawing form and writing form that were not looked upon kindly by my father, or my mother. And then when I got into publishing books I found there was a prejudice. I was told, especially with In the Hills the Cities, 'do not publish this - if you publish this you'll destroy everything you have'. That was simply not true." "Just make it straight. It will be fine. You won't need to give us the money back. We'll publish it. Just change the pronouns. Where you see a 'he', put a 'she'. That's bollocks. It is deeply demeaning. It takes me two years to write a book. You don't think that I didn't think, every day that I wrote, about what I was doing there? When a publisher comes along and tells you you can't tell that story it is deeply painful. It angered me greatly. "They were very afraid that coming out or speaking positively about homosexuality would be destructive to my career," he continues. "Which is balls. Absolutely balls."

Today I am on strike.
stjv.fr Syndicat des Travailleureuses du Jeu Vidéo @stjv.fr · 17d
🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft : enough is enough! Faced with the arbitrary decision of the CEO who doesn’t even dare talking to employees anymore, unions are calling for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th.
Ubisoft is no more, long live Ubisoft! On January 21, 2026, Yves Guillemot announced the end of remote work, closure of several studios, cancellation of projects, and a new 200€ million “cost-cutting” plan. We were informed of this at the same time as the press — as none of these changes had been discussed during the mandatory consultations with the works councils a few days earlier! On January 26, 2026, management announced the implementation of a voluntary departure plan that will affect 200 people at Ubisoft’s headquarters. We are promised autonomy for « Creative Houses », but what about autonomy for employees? We have been negotiating for over a year on remote work policy, sometimes under difficult conditions. An agreement has been in place since September in some studios. Trampled underfoot! We are told about responsibilities, but those who wield this word so easily do not take any responsibility for the consequences of their catastrophic management. We are not fooled: rather than taking financial responsibility for layoffs, they prefer to push us out by making our working conditions unbearable. It’s outrageous. It is because we love Ubisoft that this situation revolts us. Ubisoft’s unions are calling for a massive international strike by all Ubisoft employees on the 10th, 11th and 12th of February 2026. NO to their anti-remote-work obsession to “cost-cutting” plans on employees’ backs to top-down decisions to coercive control on our working conditions YES to our leaders truly taking their responsibilities to management’s duty of sincerity in the face of its failings It is time for our management to understand that they cannot do whatever they want, whether with public money or the work of hundreds of people! Without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games as it has. WE ARE UBISOFT.
