Shout-out to @jeffreyvega.bsky.social for treating me to the Glup Shitto of New York City pizzas, 2 Bros. Pizza! I've done the entire pie, destroyed a beautiful bagel this morning, and now the single slice has been defeated. What's next?

Shared with permission: my incredible colleague, NVC producer Red Rigos, was impacted by IGN's layoffs yesterday. We're heartbroken: Red is kind, funny, talented, and dedicated and has been a huge part of NVC's growth and success. Please hire him: www.redrigos.com/ign

One of the impacted members. 🫡 My co-workers at IGN are incredible and every one of us who was let go and every one of those who is still there deserves so much better.

*Record Scratch* Freeze Frame. "You're probably wondering how I got here." I am one of the eight IGN members laid off. During my three years at IGN, I worked for some of the best creators and writers around. I will miss them all dearly.

I cried this morning because so many of my wonderful colleagues were laid off today, even after the success of IGN Live and Comic-Con. After today's layoffs, I am now the only social team member left in LA. How am I supposed to do my job?

IGN Creators Guild @ignunion.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Today, IGN laid off eight extremely valuable members of our union and workforce via directive from our parent company, Ziff Davis. This, after two incredibly successful live events IGN Live and SDCC, and yet another corporate acquisition. Please take a moment to read and share our full statement:

Today, IGN Entertainment announced that it would be laying off eight members of the IGN Creators Guild.

This is 12% of our bargaining unit, and comes just days after our sister union, the Ziff Davis Creators Guild, underwent similar layoffs impacting 15% of their members. It also comes just months after our multibillion-dollar parent company, Ziff Davis, instituted a company-wide buyout that shrunk our unit numbers, with the express intent of avoiding future layoffs. And it comes just a little over one year after three of our members were laid off almost immediately after our union went public.

The company has told us that the reason for this layoff stems from a Ziff Davis-mandate to cut costs despite several quarters in a row of year-over-year revenue increases, to which IGN Entertainment responded by coming for our members' jobs. This is perplexing to us, as we are told again and again that IGN Entertainment has had a tremendously successful year thus far thanks to their hard work. In just the last few months, our members have been absolutely essential to major events and livestreams, including San Diego ComicCon, Summer of Gaming, and IGN Live. Every single person impacted today was involved in and critical to the success of those events.

Meanwhile, IGN Entertainment continues to spend money on costly acquisitions, only to turn around and gut those companies in the same way it is cutting away at IGN itself. For instance, last year, it acquired Gamer Network, and almost immediately laid off a number of staff critical to making those sites successful. The company has not responded to the union's questions about whether its budget for future acquisitions is being reconsidered as a cost-saving measure alongside these other apparently necessary personnel cuts.

At a time when it is more necessary than ever to support its creators, IGN Entertainment is choosing to eliminate the individuals who ensure IGN remains competitive as generative AI

threatens our reach. We have been told that expert opinion pieces, original interviews, and work that leverages our staff's deep knowledge of gaming, tech, and entertainment are all essential to combating AI summarization and regurgitation of our work. Management has responded by cutting several individuals who do that exact work, as well as others whose job it is to ensure that these written and video pieces are published in a speedy manner — another component of combating AI we're told is critical.

This continued cycle of repeated, aggressive cuts to our staff and being asked to do more with less, only for management to continue to spend on new business it isn't interested in sustaining cannot continue. We will enforce our interim agreement that guarantees better severance and other protections to laid off members, as well as demand additional support for those impacted. We will continue to bargain over our first contract with the aim of enshrining even better protections against further layoffs, working conditions continuously degraded by understaffing, and the encroachment of generative AI. And we won't stop fighting to ensure IGN remains the best destination for trustworthy, original, exciting, and creative work covering video games, entertainment, and tech.

While IGN Entertainment management may not value us, we value one another and the incredible work we can do together. Behind the articles, videos, social posts, playlists, and maps of IGN are human beings, not just numbers on a spreadsheet to be pushed around when some number at the top isn't big enough. Without us, there is no IGN.

#TheFantasticFour: First Steps is fun! I wish we had more time with each of the characters, but they have A LOT of scary stuff to deal with in the movie. The 60s aesthetic is *chef’s kiss* and Michael Giacchino’s score is my favorite part of the movie. 🗣️ FANTASTIC FOUR 🎶

I saw The Naked Gun and I can now say they ARE making them like they used to! There are so many great jokes in this and you can tell the filmmakers had so much fun making an actual comedy movie. #NakedGun

#Superman is very weird in the best way possible. It’s the most “comic book” movie I’ve ever seen: it’s colorful, it’s funny, it has setpieces you wouldn’t believe. There is a true kindness in David Corenswet’s Superman and I can’t wait to see these characters again soon 🥹

Lilo & Stitch (2025) is a very very very cute movie and the pacing has a breakneck speed I was not expecting- it’s the most “cartoony” live-action Disney movie yet, which I loved!! It’s heartfelt, funny, and Stitch is classic Stitch. Also Maia Kealoha is INCREDIBLE. She IS Lilo.
