I was on sick leave after having surgery when I was dismissed from Rockstar Games in a 2 minute phone call. No warning. No evidence. No chance to respond. In 2 minutes I lost my job, forcing Steph to quit hers, our home, our community, and most importantly, our dogs. iwgb.org.uk/en/post/fina...

For my newest video I took people's assumptions about game development and... addressed them! Including why crunch actually happens, how much money game developers make, and the unique way that making games 'ruins them' for you: youtu.be/WnfKzdTUjtw?...

Whatever you think of the new GTA, one of the best things you can do is support the people who made it. Consider chipping something towards the former Rockstar workers to help towards their legal funds. You might get a lovely hand-written note out of it 👀 iwgb.org.uk/en/post/dont...
Hi James - thank you so much for your support! It reall means a lot, and we appreciate knowing that we aren't alone in this fight

- The former Rockstar workers

This Eurogamer articles ends on a mic drop that legitimately gave me chills. "If you're willing to do that, and willing to do that to tell an underdog story, you should let your workers who made everything form a union." Thank you @eurogamer.bsky.social www.eurogamer.net/gta-6-reacti...

I have one reaction after watching GTA 6's spectacular, 26-minute Netflix reveal: this is what a billion dollars gets you
GTA 6 is a world of surfaces and textures, and while you can see this obviously in the big things, you can actually see it most clearly in the little things.

Today, the world saw a highly anticipated preview of GTA VI. Meanwhile, the people who made it are preparing to appear in court after unionising and being fired en masse. Buy a t-shirt to help GTA workers win justice: bit.ly/4xLc4IP Orders close Sunday 30 August!

This was, is, and always will be a brilliantly shit illustration of how stupidly self defeating business people can be. Forgoing the universal positive of a staff self-training on their own time, because of the vague fear that one in a hundred might make some money.

Back in October, Rockstar Games fired 34 employees for alleged gross misconduct. The severity of these firings could have spelled the end for a burgeoning union effort that was underway, but it didn't. In fact, the union is now *bigger* than it's ever been before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym4z...

Want to know why I think Rockstar unionising is so important? "Rockstar accused of ignoring pay inequity, mandating crunch, and weaponizing bonuses." Every single employee still working at the company needs to read this. Know that you are not alone. www.gamedeveloper.com/production/r...

The Godot LLM stuff feels like it's going to put a lot of users in very awkward situations with their principles and stated beliefs, myself included. Maybe I'm in a bubble but gamedev feels pretty tight knit and the overwhelming majority of competent creators seem to be against LLM usage.

Reading the news is so tiring because it seems like(i mean it’s kind of is apparent) these people at the top are speed running us to oblivion. It’s almost lovecraftian looking at the way these guys view life cause you can’t rationalize they know what they’re doing just don’t care.
