Billy put decades of his life into a career in game development. Now, he questions if he can continue to weather an industry that is becoming increasingly hostile to its workers. Follow the link in our bio to demand better of employers like Microsoft and #SaveGameWorkers.

Guaranteed remote and hybrid protections. Salary increases. Recall rights to open positions 14 months after a layoff anywhere in Blizzard. Massive congratulations to the units at Blizzard for securing these rights (and more) in their historic contract! A win for one is a win for all ✊

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.

You may have heard ESO’s great-looking Warden Refresh got delayed. You may not have heard who was among those bringing it to life. Christina Cornett, Senior Concept Artist, worked on the storyboards, and Vincent Wong, Senior Animator, worked on the animations. Microsoft laid them off on July 6

When leadership makes poor decisions and tries to fix them with layoffs, they don't just hurt devs like Anelise. They hurt our players and our games, and never pay the price themselves. Join us to #SaveGameWorkers and gaming overall by using the link in our bio to make your voice heard.

Devs like Marie want to make great games. But with the sword of layoffs poised over our heads, we are forced to split our attention between our work and the campaign to save our industry. #SaveGameWorkers by going to the link in our bio and telling Microsoft to take bargaining seriously.

AFL-CIO @aflcio.org · 01/09/2026
Working people, whether Republicans, Democrats or Independents, don’t trust political parties to fight for them. But across the political spectrum, unions have record-high support and workers trust unions to deliver for them and right the ship.

Unions gain ground among voters in both parties
Seventy-one percent of American adults approve of unions, matching a 2022 peak.

With each layoff, real people are affected and real lives are turned upside down with uncertainty. As long as this continues, developers will never feel safe, and I'm proud to lend my voice to this cause and speak about the true impact these decisions cause.

We’re not in the habit of recognizing celebrity deaths here at 925. That said, Dolly Parton is a national treasure and some folks here joke that Dolly is our Locals patron saint. After all her song “9 to 5” is our anthem. Today we remember all the love and kindness Dolly brought the world.
Tribute-style portrait of a Dolly Parton performing in a ruffled light purple blouse, arm raised and singing into a microphone, overlaid with the lyric: "You're just a step on the bossman's ladder / But you've got dreams he'll never take away."
