After almost 600 waves of layoffs in 2025, the games industry is bleeding more talent than it ever has.
This is due to many factors — one of which is the complete lack of protections for most talented workers.
When those who seek protection are punished, what’s left?

With October coming to a close things really escallated quickly. We now know of so many games industry layoff waves in 2025 that we're only one short of matching 2024, and we have two months still to go.

My old pal and hometown hockey captain Jesse Sayer was mauled by a grizzly bear this week —
He’s alive and recovering but there’s a fundraiser to support his family while he’s unable to work.
I hope Jess dines out on this story for decades.

Hey friends, I am still available for short-term contract and freelance work. As a reminder, I can do more than just narrative design, and while I have designed branching dialog systems and written a bunch, I can also build my own content.
So it’s my turn to join my talented peers in an overcrowded pool and say 🚨I am officially looking for short-term contract / freelance writing and narrative design work 🚨. I’ve got years of experience with branching narrative, dialogue writing, and quest design and much more.

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

I find ALPR deployment, including Flock, without proper oversight and constant public auditing to be troubling. PDs have a bias for collaboration with federal authorities, which is why we need clear, auditable firewalls. If those firewalls are being violated, we need to shutdown ALPR systems.
Law enforcement agencies across Southern California violated state law more than 100 times last month by sharing information from automated license plate readers with federal agents, records show. buff.ly/2MYrQ7J
