Hey everyone, I just finished my first day as Chief Button Presser at the RBA! My new role primarily involves pressing the big red button with a giant skull on it, hoping that the line will go down. Didn't happen today, but I'll try again tomorrow!

I was lamenting the lack of wipe transitions in Star Wars Zero Company, when I realised how technically expensive it must be for a game that struggles with even one location rendered. Still a shame though, its one of the small pieces of stylistic flare that's managed to perservere in the franchise.

Between obtaining comments from Saber's CEO and breaking news of mass layoffs at the Invincible Vs studio, we had an *astounding* amount of attention on TWIV last week. Our news reporting is free. The majority of our work is free. None of it happens without reader support. Our sale ends tomorrow.

Hey so a lot of definitive stories about the Halloween game getting banned in Australia cropped up overnight based on that one reply tweet they made. I like, actually asked the Australian Classification Board, who seemed to suggest that things were still in flux?

Unfortunately, HR made our office manager take this down almost immediately. They said because it's in a common area, it had to be removed. We've used common areas for many things as a team, including fan works, but HR seems to believe that a Celebration of Service is inappropriate.

God, it looks like a LOT of Accessibility specialists were hit by today's layoffs at Xbox, inclusing some of their most senior accessibility folks. This feels like a REALLY bad sign for accessibility at Xbox going forward. A huge amount of skilled talent being thrown out as part of this "shake up".

Really hate the framing of these layoffs as a reset when they've been doing layoffs again and again for the past two years. Despite admitting they had a 3% profit margin (AFTER all their acquisitions) this fiscal year. Profitable, Just not as much as their competitors. So lay everyone off I guess

All these layoffs are occurring almost one year to the day after a previous wave of huge cuts at Microsoft that impacted 9,100 individuals company-wide and which resulted in 200 individuals laid off from Candy Crush maker King, a canceled Perfect Dark reboot and the closure of studio The Initiative, a canceled MMORPG at ZeniMax, and the cancellation of Everwild amid restructuring at Rare. That layoff came less than a year after an earlier mass layoff of 650 across Xbox, which itself was only nine months after a layoff of nearly 2,000 across the gaming division in January 2024
