i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

That's cool. I'm sure all the BitReactor devs that were furloughed weeks before launch are gonna see some of that $50 million... right? Residuals are standard in other creative industries. If the people who actually made the game got their share of the profits, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Today, 268 dedicated video game workers lost their livelihoods as XBOX continues to put profits ahead of the workers who are the heart and soul of the platform's games. CWA does not expect today's layoffs to impact union-represented workers.

I've secured something pretty special. It's a very early build of Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, dated 5-18-2007 (though the internal files are dated 5-17). Lots of WIP stuff left intact, lots of stuff that was later cut, the soundtrack being almost completely different. I will stream it soon on 9-15!!

Even at an increase in pay for adapters, a quality script saves money where it counts: during the recording process. When the dialogue isn't thoughtfully adapted, the process grinds to a halt while everyone tries to come up with a quick solution on the spot.

I'm so torn on this because Link kinda looks like a haunted porcelain doll and the detail for his clothing is over-designed, but the environment itself looks really visually pleasing but it's also overstimulating?? Not gonna stop me from buying it day-1, but it's gonna take some getting used to.

The 40 hour work week. Compensation for overtime. The right to organize and strike. These were not inherent rights given to all in the US and Canada. They were fought for by the courageous workers who came before us. On Labor Day, we remember how far we've come, as well as our fight left ahead.

We’ve got a great thing going with indie animation - but there’s a lot of incredible lesser-known talents out there, outside of your Glitch and Spindlehorse shows. The cool thing about indie stuff is it can come from anyone and anywhere; you just gotta look for it and share what you love.

So, in the SAG-AFTRA video game strike of 2016--not the most recent one--SAG-AFTRA attempted to codify residuals to voice actors for games. The game companies--predictably--fought back against that. What was interesting, though, was the behind-the-scenes talk of *why* they fought back. <cont'd>

Remember - if they want us to all be contract temp employees: - no relocation for in office. - health insurance from a union. - residuals are mandatory. Also, spoiler alert - it won't work because that's not how games are made.
