I love my job and my coworkers, and I’ve never been prouder of them than I have today. Unionizing helps us protect each other—and all the things we love about our work. I hope you’ll support us.

Obviously includes unmentioned bonus product (get $150 to $200 back) because the m.o. for pricey debuts is rewarding leaps of faith. Maximize fomo and event exclusive jealousy

When witches are cackling and telling you “Fire burn and cauldron bubble,” take a step back. Breathe. Those are normal things for fire and cauldrons to do. They’re trying to mess with you.

If we don't get one written criticism of god packs cheekily titled "How It's Folded" then the entire Magic: The Gathering experiment was for naught

The Magic 1997 monthly calendar had the sickest art of Mishra (and a dragon engine) by Phil Hale, but the only image of it online was 300x300. I've been annoyed by this for a decade. #Vorthos Anyways…

I've forever been a holdout saying "I won't buy Universe Beyond and there's no crossover that would ever get me to buy in" but then I remembered the Beatles, and—while I'm no superfan—the idea that I could turn Ringo sideways and send him into combat against an enemy beast has this undeniable allure

We bring the end to Reality Fracture story this week with our discussion on episodes 9 and 10, where we kill Jace Beleren and have to make a lot of jokes to keep ourselves from crying while recording.

408 - The Story of Reality Fracture, episodes 9 & 10

The story of Reality Fracture, and thus the story of Jace Beleren, comes to an end in today's episode. We see the Theorist flex his omniscience as he attempts to overlay his echoverse over the multive

Sigh… Just got bad news from my survey writing gig. Apparently, management didn't appreciate me secretly editing the final draft to ask if respondents were "still mad" about the art callback in Jace, Multiverse Architect.

Is what it is. I was such an annoying little shit about it back in the day, so some part is passing forward my shame from those encounters. Regardless, there's how many deep subfields within Magic. Story is no different from any other when it comes weighing opinions

Genuinely, Magic story (from card creative to published fiction) is *the* heckling ground for uncurious spectators. You have to ignore the noise

in a week that saw microsoft give activision the reins to halo and bungie pivot back to destiny, one thing has become abundantly clear: the people in charge do not have a long-term, overriding plan. they’re just reacting. the result, when times are bad, is chaos

"Things are still very chaotic," a current id Software employee who was granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly told Aftermath. "While there has been an attempt to communicate to the studios, it is still entirely in bullshit corporate speak. I still don't believe they have a clear vision for the future. The only concrete thing they have communicated is they want higher profits, and they want it now. Aggressive goals are being set that would have been unrealistic even before the layoffs. ... To say the workers within Xbox have a dim view of the future is putting it mildly. We keep thinking morale can't sink lower but the obvious incompetence of Xbox management somehow keeps driving it down worse."
This mirrors shifts in strategy that have come to dominate the still-new Sharma era, including others outlined Tuesday. Rare is joining Activision, Turn 10 and Playground are fusing, and—most gallingly, considering their history—Obsidian is being folded into Bethesda to work on Fallout instead of its own original series. As with the previous round of layoffs, details betray Microsoft's haphazard approach: A Halo developer got promoted and laid off in the same week. Gears of War: E-Day's story director is out of a job days after celebrating that the game had gone gold. Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, now without a buyer after a brief glimmer of hope, is once again on the chopping block.
All of this betrays a simplistic mindset that does not accurately reflect the reality of game development: People are disposable, studios are interchangeable, and series can be traded like sports teams. Nothing matters more than franchises and their money-printing prowess. Unless, evidently, you are Hideo Kojima, in which case Microsoft suddenly has money to burn.
