I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

My final interview in the SPINE design series is w/ @liz-shrikestudio.bsky.social about what games can learn from House of Leaves. Liz discusses the implications of calling You Will Die in This Place a book versus a game, how metanarrative informs mechanics, and the paradox of unplayed indie ttrpgs.
