MASSIVE strike at QUT today. About 200 of us on the picket line demanding better working and learning conditions from our overpaid corporate managers. Such incredible solidarity.

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.

Why has Japan been relatively insulated from the global games industry crisis? Japanese industry consultant @serkantoto.bsky.social, expat developer @liambme.bsky.social, and a Japanese game studies professor tell us about protection laws, domestic bias, slow-growth mindsets and the cost of living.

I think what I most got out of Big Walk is the realisation that there is a microphone in my PS5 controller and it is has always been listening to me.

That's my uni! Instead of actually listening to staff and working with us to make QUT a better and fairer place to work and study, our overpaid management has gone crying to the FWC. Tomorrow we're taking a 2 hour strike to insist they take us seriously www.removepaywall.com/search?url=h...

The idea of a PS6 is so funny. No one truly thinks they need that. The game industry has used 'more polygons' to sustain consumer demand for 30+ years and it simply doesn't work anymore. Just make a rectangular and less ugly PS5 and call it a day.

OpenAI won't even consider renewable investments in Australia until the country agrees to kill its copyright laws so they can freely train on creative work. When Albanese caves and agrees to this, OpenAI will just run on fossil fuels anyway: guaranteed. archive.ph/mzSVj

OpenAI’s ultimatum: dilute creatives’ rights or we won’t discuss renewables

Okay! Here’s the opening statement provided by the fired Rockstar workers. Key points: -There was allegedly a ‘mole’ in the union Discord server for over a year who funnelled info back to R* -It’s claimed R* only acted shortly after union members passed the 10% threshold for statutory recognition

It's been almost a year since 31 workers in the IWGB Game Workers Union at Rockstar were fired in what I believe is a clear union busting attempt by Rockstar execs. If you're near Glasgow on Thursday, come support the workers as their tribunal case is getting started. I'll be there!

Remember when the government was rushing through its social media age ban that every expert said wouldn't work and they kept reassuring everyone it wouldn't apply to videogames or videogame websites?

You shouldn’t be allowed to spend over a decade making a game because everyone forgets how to watch a game trailer critically.

Couldn’t ask for a better example of how ‘gameplay’ doesn’t actually mean anything and you should never use it in serious writing about games.
