I reviewed Silent Hill: Townfall by Screen Burn! It’s an excellent horror experience with an absolutely insane attention to detail with the environments and atmosphere. Here is my review for @techraptor.net @annapurna.com @konamina.bsky.social techraptor.net/gaming/revie...

Appreciate the folks who spoke to me for this story. I think every worker in this space knows how hard it is to just put out good work and support your colleagues as new, ehm, challenges keep coming down the pike
But all the workers who spoke to Aftermath agreed that those working under the new structure would see their pay drop drastically, and worried those offered the PPS would feel forced to leave the site because they simply couldn’t afford to work there anymore. Luddy wrote that some TheGamer workers see the PPS as “a form of ‘soft-layoffs,’” a sentiment echoed by those who spoke to Aftermath. “No one is actually considering this,” the worker told Aftermath, saying that affected workers have been “making it clear that they would leave if they are put on this.”

Luddy told Kotaku that some workers are in “open revolt” in Valnet Slack against the changes. Workers who spoke to Aftermath said that TheGamer’s senior leaders, including the editor-in-chief, weren’t told about the PPS ahead of its announcement, and that workers at the site have been trying to get more clarity from Valnet leadership. The worker said the mood at the site is “bleak” as people struggle to understand how to square the new payment structure with current expectations around their hours and output, calling the situation "heartbreaking."
