Meta had a 4.5 billion (‼️) operational loss last quarter and reportedly spend more than 70 billion since 2020 to build the “new social media” in VR, that no one wanted or asked for. That same Meta laid off 23,000 people since 2022 and is reportedly planning to lay off.. (1/?)

The @mergeconflictstudio.com team has worked incredibly hard on this first demo of their third game, Pelikeeper. It’s still early, and there’s much more to come, but if you love or are intrigued by the idea of a comfort strategy tower defense game, you should try it out 💜

Again, I cannot emphasize enough: do not go to the US even if you're privileged enough to have never been scared or worried of a border crossing in you're life. Do not go ESPECIALLY for something as optional & outrageously expensive as GDC. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

For hip-hop fans: I started listening to Baby Keem’s Ca$ino. It’s a short 40-minute listen and features different Keems. Half of the album feels very “early 2000s,” full of humble brags & sensual songs, the 2nd half is where Keem does what he does best: but he’s harder, more emotional, and raw.

I’ve decided not to attend GDC in San Francisco this year. GDC is meant to connect, educate, and inspire. While there are valid ongoing debates if hosting it in one of the most expensive cities in the world holds true to that goal, my decision is based on something deeper. 🧵

Had a nice, calm weekend, watching some great movies & having fun playing Quarantine Zone. I highly recommend watching Nuremberg. It’s a harrowing, unforgettable portrayal of the Nuremberg trials, which remains a brutal reminder of why humanity must never forget, and why we said “never again”.

A Lord of the Rings quote we all need to let sink in. “Saruman believes that it’s only great power that can hold evil in check. But that’s not what I have found. I found that it is the small things.. everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love”.

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

FROM NOW UNTIL FEBRUARY 13TH IGN CREATORS GUILD IS GOING TO... DO OUR JOB!

OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, IGN MANAGEMENT HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH LAYING OFF OUR COWORKERS OVER AND OVER. MEANWHILE, MANY OF OUR COLLEAGUES HAVE LEFT THE COMPANY IN NO SMALL PART DUE TO BUYOUTS, OVERWORK, AND FEELING UNSUPPORTED, EACH TIME, THE COMPANY HAS REFUSED TO BACKFILL MANY ESSENTIAL ROLES, CLAIMING WE'RE ON A HIRING FREEZE, IT'S NOT IN THE BUDGET, OR THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO LESS WORK THIS TIME.

AS A RESULT, IGNCG MEMBERS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO TAKE ON MORE OF THEIR FORMER COLLEAGUES' WORKLOADS. MANY OF US NOW WORK LONGER HOURS THAN WE USED TO. A LOT OF US RARELY TAKE LUNCH BREAKS. SOME OF US DO NOT TAKE ADEQUATE TIME OFF DUE TO THERE BEING NO ONE TO PICK UP THE SLACK. OTHERS OF US ARE STUCK DOING WORK WE WERE NEVER HIRED TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE.
UP TO THIS POINT, WE'VE ALL ACCEPTED THIS AS NORMAL, BECAUSE WE CARE DEEPLY ABOUT IGN AND THE WORK WE DO. BUT WITH SO MANY OF US STRUGGLING MORE AND MORE AS EACH NEW WAVE OF OUR COWORKERS ARE DEPRIVED OF A LIVELIHOOD, THIS CYCLE CAN'T CONTINUE. MANAGEMENT IS UNWILLING TO STOP IT, SO IT FALLS TO US.
WITH THE LAYOFFS OF EIGHT OF OUR COWORKERS, IGNCG HAS NEGOTIATED A SIX-MONTH RECALL LIST. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT, FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, IF IGN WANTS TO FILL ANY OF THOSE ELIMINATED ROLES AGAIN, THEY MUST REHIRE OUR LAID-OFF COLLEAGUES. WE WANT THEM TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET THEIR JOBS BACK IF THEY WANT THEM, AND IF NOT, WE WANT THOSE ROLES BACKFILLED TO EASE THE BURDEN ON THE REST OF US.
SO STARTING TODAY, LENCE MEMBERS ARE COMMITTING TO DO OUR JOBS. NO MORE, NO LESS. WELL SHOW UP TO WORK ON TIME AND LEAVE ON TIME. WE'RE TAKING ALL OF OUR LUNCH TIME, EVERY DAY.
IF WE WORK LATE, WE WILL FIRMLY ASK FOR OUR RIGHTFULLY EARNED COMP TIME. AND IF IGN WANTS OUR LAID-OFF COWORKERS' WORK TO GET DONE, THEY'LL HAVE TO REHIRE THEM TO DO IT INSTEAD OF FOISTING IT UPON US.
HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT IGNCG IN ALL THIS?
SHARE THIS POST, AND TELL IGN MANAGEMENT THAT Y…

This is 100% true. Most people who buy your game on Steam, will never play it. A game like Stardew Valley sold 27M units, but had “only” 236.000 (~2%) players played it at the same time at it’s peak. Balatro sold 5.3M units, but was played by 43.000 people at its peak (less than 1%).
