There are many more blue circles.

IGN Creators Guild @ignunion.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
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.

A solid blue background that includes a California poppy flower logo at the top and the following statement: We’re devastated to hear the news about today’s layoffs at various McClatchy-owned newspapers, especially those from our union siblings at The Sacramento Bee and Fresno Bee. 

As a newsroom dedicated to covering the most populated state in our country, we know we can’t do it alone. Californians deserve a robust journalism landscape that covers both big metropolitan areas and the smaller and vibrant communities that are often overlooked. We all lose when this coverage is diminished.

We stand in solidarity with our colleagues.
