An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

Regarding Xbox

In June 2026 we announced that the release of Big Walk would be limited to computers, Switch 2 and PS5. Since then, we have received many messages and comments, asking about a future Xbox release. We would like to address those questions here:

We have made the decision not to release Big Walk on Xbox, in accordance with the Palestinian-led BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement’s call to boycott Microsoft, and their designation of Microsoft Games (and Xbox) as a priority boycott target. If you need help understanding our motives, we would recommend reading about why Microsoft is a BDS priority target, the successes this kind of pressure has already had on Microsoft, and especially, watching this great introductory piece by People Make Games.

It has always been our intention for Big Walk to be played by groups of friends, and we know that keeping the game off Xbox runs counter to those intentions. This decision means that some people will miss out on playing Big Walk with their friends, and we understand the disappointment we’re causing. We are disappointed too.

We would love for people to be able to play the game on Xbox, but not until Microsoft and/or Xbox have been removed as BDS boycott targets.

We’ve made this decision with the belief that meaningful change can be made in the world, that coordinated collective action can confront even the most powerful interests, and that one day, Palestine will be free.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
House House

One of the main duties of journalism is to weight credibility. One of my main points is that the article is asking us to trust a tech company's supposed accuracy-- While a Zimbabwean writer who has written for years, should not be trusted to write how they want about their own lives!

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

4 panel comic: Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here” Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!” Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much” Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!

NEW: Rep. Ilhan Omar spox Jackie Rogers statement on the federal raid on Omar's home ➡️ "This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies"

“This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies. For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.”

This is union-busting. Tim Schafer is a boss and him and his management team did what bosses do.

This included managers. Legally, the only union-related prohibition for managers was that they could not give employees their opinions on unions or encourage them one way or another. But several union supporters said they directly heard managers express concerns that they were no longer allowed to speak to their employees about anything, and a few people told me their own managers or senior members of their teams stopped speaking to them entirely, even about the games they were working on. “They helped enforce this narrative where you couldn’t talk to people when nothing about neutrality required that to happen,” said one union supporter. “Supporters who were confused saw that, and bought into it.”

Other union-supportive employees told me they received the cold shoulder from people they didn’t work closely with, but had previously been friendly with. There were accusations of strongly anti-union employees trying to scare off prospective members, sharing hypothetical or even at times outright false information about the impacts a union would have at Double Fine, or making what sources asserted were false accusations about the organizers themselves and their tactics.

The spin-off from Microsoft precipitated new fears. Would there be layoffs? Would Double Fine get to keep ownership of its games? Would the studio even have enough runway to survive for long without Microsoft’s backing? The answer to these questions came rather quickly. On July 28, 23 people were laid off from Double Fine amid the split. These layoffs took place after Double Fine’s departure from Xbox, and Schafer was the final deciding voice as to who stayed and who went. Among those 23 were all eight organizing committee members who had signed the letter to the studio announcing the petition withdrawal. The majority of the rest, though not all, had been vocally or, in a few cases, privately supportive of the union, even if they’d been ineligible to join it. In total, the layoffs comprised roughly one-fourth of Double Fine.

“Management absolutely mishandled the situation…The manager training was weeks late and landed after the brunt of the drama. The lack of direct communication made an already clique-y culture even worse. And studio leadership overall was not only extremely influenced by their proximity to Tim, but there was a large amount of ignorance towards the role of a union or how they work.”

In the weeks and months since the petition withdrawal, those at Double Fine who had openly or even privately supported the union tell me they have laid low, afraid of further retribution or ostracization. “It feels like they want you to leave,” one person said. “And it’s working. I’m looking for other jobs.” Unfortunately, as they and others pointed out to me, the games industry job market is so bad that jobs are in short supply.

Today is a rare day where Twitter has more useful information than this website on a very important issue, so let's collate some of the ongoing discussions. 🧵 Here are the words straight from the mouth of a student organizer who went from interning for Mamdani to protesting him on the streets:

Wow. A student organizer leading protests against Zohran Mamdani tonight reveals that she previously interned for him.

Now she’s leading chants against the very politician she once worked for, accusing him of prioritizing his own political advancement over the people and movements that helped bring him to power.

She delivers an ultimatum: The protests can stop when Mamdani stops the sale of stolen Palestinian land in NYC and abolishes the CUNY Board of Trustees, which advances Israel’s interests within the nation’s largest urban public university system.

But she makes clear that she doesn’t expect him to deliver. In her view, Mamdani has become just another politician who makes promises to movements and then fails to meet their demands once in office.

What makes her testimony particularly significant is that she isn’t someone who opposed Mamdani from the beginning. She worked for him. She believed enough in his political project to participate in it. Now she’s publicly confronting him.

Her speech speaks to a broader frustration among people who placed their hopes in electoral politics as a vehicle for advancing Palestinian liberation. For some, the experience hasn’t strengthened their faith in political institutions. It has deepened their distrust.
