Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

Whitlam Dismissal take
The greatest achievement of the Dismissal has been the crushing of the ALP’s ambition to actually bring a better world into being.
Hawke sealed the deal by making the mark of success decent management of a capitalist economy.
Now it’s just ambition to be in government.

Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.

Done.
Non-US folks should really do this survey, the last question is about whether you’ve cancelled travel plans to the US or are reconsidering travel plans due to current policies. GDC needs to know this, maybe some talks could go online live with enough feedback? Maybe they could even lobby? Who knows!
Folks who make video games! @officialgdc.bsky.social is running the annual State of the Industry survey again. You should take the chance to weigh in!
The survey's gone through a major overhaul this year and your voice will matter even more: gdconf.typeform.com/SOTI26

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"
They want people to assume this means game info or assets.
But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:
'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"
