This is inhumane and unacceptable. And how were these workers thanked for enduring these conditions? Many were laid off. This is why we're organizing. A better industry is both possible and must come to pass if our artform and dignity are to survive.

When you get lay off devs who care about the games they make, you tear out a studio's heart. Stephanie was part of that heart, loving the Elder Scrolls and Fallout franchises. We won't let corporations destroy us from the inside out. Join us to #SaveGameWorkers by going to the link in our bio!

My favorite Dolly Parton meme.

A twitter interaction where someone posted a photo of Dolly Parton looking hot as hell in black and red lingerie. Someone else replies to the photo with "Well then wha the hell did Jolene look like???"

Why did Bobby Libby, a community content manager, come out to the Save Our Devs rally in July? Because Microsoft has shown they only have one plan to manage their own poor choices - layoffs. We'll be fighting again on August 18th across the country. #saveourdevs #savegameworkers

NEW: CWA union members have inflated a giant rat and deployed a wall of red flags representing laid off Xbox workers outside the Bethesda office in Rockville. The protest was timed to coincide with a visit from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who is apparently at the studio today.

Today at HQ, we had special guests from Microsoft leadership. We refuse to let executives forget what game studios are actually made of: their workers. As welcome gift, we placed hundreds of flags outside, honoring all of the game workers who have been laid off by Microsoft in 2026 (so far).

I really wish employers had to destroy any and all information they have on you if they choose not to hire you. Both me and my husband have gotten so many spam calls, emails, texts, etc., since we had to re-enter the job-hunting sphere the past 2 years.

microsoft is in full damage control mode following last week's layoffs. its main strategy so far? namedrop sequels to popular series at every turn. but despite what execs like asha sharma might want you to think, those series were made by people, and now they'll never be the same

Todd Howard just shared plans for the Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, and Starfield franchises. These worlds have earned a special place with hundreds of millions of people over many years. I'm looking forward to what's next, including the partnership with Obsidian on a new Fallout game and closer collaboration with ZeniMax Online Studios on The Elder Scrolls. The achievements of these franchises are remarkable: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has crossed 65 million units sold, becoming one of the 10 best-selling games of all time, Fallout 4 has also crossed 35 million units sold, joining the top 25, and Starfield will soon reach over 1 billion hours played.
This statement sucks so bad that it makes my blood boil. Look what the franchises did, all by themselves! Look what they’ve accomplished, of their own volition, thanks to their own intrinsic goodness! So many big numbers, which translate to giant heaps of cash in the bank accounts of execs and shareholders! Never mind the people who spent decades painstakingly crafting the many games, stories, and other creative endeavors that corporate ghouls now so happily flatten into “franchises,” erasing themes, meaning, and human beings in favor of empty iconography.

This is how the people running the show at Xbox—and countless companies besides—view games, not to mention everything else in their robotic, colorless lives. Numbers and lines trending ever upward. Fuel for platitudes and faux-inspirational nonsense directed at the LinkedIn hivemind, of which they all paradoxically believe they’re the main character. Another stepping stone toward the next bigger, better thing. No ultimate destination, no camaraderie, no soul. Just an endless ladder that leads to the void regardless of which way you climb.

I was proud to attend the ZeniMax protest this afternoon, at their headquarters in Rockville. I stand with the workers who were layed off, calling on Microsoft to do the right thing: reverse the layoffs and support your game developers. #SaveOurDevs #OneBGS #ZeniMaxWorkersUnited #RockvilleMD

A large group of protesters wearing red clothing holds signs advocating for labor rights and job security, gathered under trees in a residential area.

A sign reading "OUR PLAYERS DESERVE BETTER" displayed against a backdrop of trees.

A person in a red top is speaking into a microphone while raising a fist. They are standing outdoors in front of a building with the name "ZeniMax" visible. The scene includes another individual in the foreground holding a phone.

A person with long hair holds a sign that reads, "We are NOT COGS! We are the Heart & MIND of the MACHINE!" The background shows a building with the name "Zenith" and some greenery.
