IGN Creators Guild @ignunion.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

We are tired of posting statements like these.

Today was an awful day at IGN. We were blindsided by the layoff of four union members and many more people across the organization who contributed years of their careers to making IGN an unparalleled voice in games and entertainment.

With each successive layoff, core parts of IGN’s operation continue to be stripped away. Today, IGN has decided to do away with many of our talented producers, editors, hosts, and other crucial roles, both within and out of the union. How many layoffs will occur before we no longer recognize the company we work for and the content that we make?

While we recognize the challenges the media industry is facing as a whole, it is difficult to understand how laying off valuable employees better positions us to meet those challenges. In turn, remaining employees bear additional workloads worsened by anxiety over the ever-looming threat of another layoff.

We are devastated, angry, and heartbroken for our colleagues.

I spoke to Japanese game devs/industry professionals (including Shuhei Yoshida) about the U.S. games industry layoffs, and why they aren’t happening in Japan. It is both very simple and very interesting, imo! youtu.be/npmohif-jj0

Xbox cut 1,600 devs, 1,600 more coming. Bethesda/ZeniMax vets: no one's safe—union members still lost jobs. Xbox announces new games while workers wait for the axe. 'Tantamount to torture psychologically.'
