Welp. Starting in November, I will no longer be employed by IGN. It's been a hell of a ride and I cannot understate how much of an honor and a privilege the last 11+ years have been. This was a dream job, but the best part of IGN is, was, and always will be the people.

Hey! So after seventeen and a half years, October 2nd will be my last day at IGN. It was genuinely a dream come true to do this thing for so long alongside some of the most talented people on earth. I got to travel the world, meet my heroes, and make a ton of really fun shows and videos. An honor ♥️

@brianaltano.bsky.social is a real one. Exactly as humble and professional off camera as he is on it. Seth brought me on NVC as a regular host and I’ll always be grateful Much love to all the talented creatives who have put so much hard work into IGN over the years

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 don't understand, when did IGN decide they were no longer in the business of platforming some of the coolest, realest, smartest, dorkiest nerds on the planet? Brian and Seth were exactly those types and their appearances on NVC made me feel smarter about video games.

I understand why people are talking about replaying OoT in preparation for the remake, but wouldn't it be much more enjoyable to play the Switch 2 one as fresh as possible?

I feel like every week I see a new 2-hour video essay pop up about why Tears of the Kingdom is bad, actually, and I just have to say that two years later it's still a masterpiece, my favorite game of all time, and one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had. I could never hate it!

It's been 30 years of A Goofy Movie, and 31 years since we briefly lived in Paris while my dad worked on it! Truly one of the coolest things as a kid, to hang out at the studio or watch pencil tests over dinner.♥️ Also eternally grateful to mom for secreting away a bunch of original model sheets:

Remember, no matter what some government run by a fascist says - you are who you say you are. You define yourself. No one else. The state & powerful try to dictate our bodies to control & exploit us - our labor, our energy, our lives - for themselves. But you get to choose yourself. Fuck ‘em.

@loganjplant.bsky.social Just watched the Mario & Luigi: Brothership review and I thought you did a great job with it. I’ve been disappointed with the last few entries since Dream Team and I was hopeful that this would be a return to form. Still going to check it out. Dont listen to the haters!
