The loss of institutional knowledge and franchise expertise only shows up on a balance sheet after it's too late to save the game.

Sadness is about loss. Depression is when it feels like there is nothing you can do.

Impasse: Day 11 of quest to make violet ink. Day 1 and 2 were rainy here so the ink took 3-4 days to dry. It coagulated including some kind of mold? Not sure how to filter it out. Start again? Also have to solve why sometimes it dries to blue not violet. #silentsunday #bloomscrolling #photography

Bowls of dried violet ink with organic masses inside them.

Ink in large quantity dries to the violet color I want.

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning. @exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int

Spectacular high-resolution image of our home planet viewed through the Orion Crew Module window by the Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon on Flight Day 2, 3 April 2026 (pic: NASA)

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

Someone should send a book of these stories to Washington. Mass Consolidation led to Mass Studio Closures led to Mass Unemployment. Completely predictable. Preventable with a modicum of regulation. Until these workers are re-employed, we need a safety net that lasts for years. #NoKings #Layoffs

LinkedIn Post by Amir Satvat: I am receiving piles of "human emergency" emails from people who used to make the games you love

The volume of messages I have received in 2026, and even just this month, has reached a level of crisis that I cannot adequately describe.

Even before the most recent industry cuts, my inbox has been flooded with urgent flags from peers who are far past their breaking point. These are not just professionals looking for their next career move. These are people who have been out of work for years and are now facing absolute destitution.

I am hearing from former developers at top studios who are now:
Choosing between critical health needs and basic survival, or even regretting they spent money on expenses to treat illness or to have a surgery.
Expressing deep regret over having spent money even for things for their kids because they can't pay their bills
Desperately trying to cobble together any form of income just to hold onto the last thread of stability.

I never get numb to this. Having so many people write to you saying, "I am at a point of human emergency, please do anything to help me get a job so I can survive," is a weight and embarassment we must all bear and stare at, so I am bringing it to you and will keep doing so with zero apology.

They say an industry is only as successful as those experiencing the greatest hardship within it. If that is our metric, we must acknowledge the failure of this crisis. The sheer abundance of these survival level emails has reached a point where it is difficult to even triage them, especially when there are so few open doors to point them toward.

Do not lose sight of the human beings behind the numbers.
These are our colleagues.
This is a crisis of survival for an unmanageable number of people.
This is especially true within the Western games scene, which has been the major net loser of the last four years.
