I know of at least one senior executive who is very high level at another big games company who pretends to play games publicly, but privately won’t touch them. I have seen them sneer at being offered a demo.
Realized I only mentioned it on LinkedIn, but I've been promoted at work! I'm now a Global Brand Manager at
@Ubisoft
and I currently get to be brand lead on my beloved

Its exciting to get to work on something that sits equally between my passion for video games and TTRPGs!
The worst thing about working for Xbox Game Pass is that I can no longer speculate about what’s coming to Xbox Game Pass, because people might think whatever I speculate about is coming to Xbox Game Pass… 🙃
Humble Games (publishing label) was reportedly closed down this morning, and its 36-person staff was laid off entirely.
No official comment yet from Humble and unclear what happens to games yet to be released
Each and every one of the people at Humble Games are some of the kindest people I have ever worked with. Everyone cared about the games and the devs. We're colletively devastated.
Please, if you can help any of us land somewhere new, I can promise we kick ass.
36 people were reportedly laid off at Humble Games this morning in what staff are calling a total closure of the publishing company. Devastating news — dozens of people lost their job, and the industry loses more resources.

@Futterish
This man really just admitted to not doing proper due diligence, under the guise of it being the failure of developers. He just keeps yapping himself out of the industry.
If you haven't already, and you love spooky/weird/wonderful roleplaying content (also Jenga...?), you absolutely need to binge

Friday was my last day at

dearly but look forward to seeing reactions to what's in store and being a fan again.
More news on what's next soon. Rest first.
After almost 3 and a half years, I am finally a permanent resident of the United States.
If anyone ever tells you that buying a house is the hardest thing you can ever do, I call BS. It’s becoming a green card holder.
Seeking the truth means revisiting the past, revisiting the past means reopening old wounds. It all comes back to trust. Do you know who you can trust?
Time to find out in

Having worked in mobile gaming, I can assure anyone that people's full names and phone numbers being attached to their accounts doesn't stop toxic, aggressive or poor behavior towards anyone.
Vile people will conduct themselves accordingly regardless of visibility.
Hi, scholar of online abuse here.
No. I cannot overstate how dangerous and inadequate this is. For years, I've watched people proudly post harassment and abuse under their legal names, with photographs attached. Facebook is a cesspit despite its anti-anonymity policies.
The news is sorta out... This week is my last with
@ID_Xbox
.
It’s hitting hard, and yeah, I’m sad. I’ve got to meet and work with truly wonderful and passionate people. I have forged friendships. I have learned a lot.
What’s next? I’m taking some time to figure that out.
Uh, so,

@GamesAdept
team as a Senior Community Designer! I'm super excited for the future working with these talented folks.
2021 was terrible for me.
Lost all confidence in myself, I burned out hard from work and had panic attacks. I’m in therapy and it’s helping, but I’m still healing and trying to figure out a path forwards.
Thank you to everyone who was kind to me, may your 2022 be kind to you.

The thing about Helldivers 2: There's an interesting knowledge gap for a lot of people between 1st Party and 3rd Party games. Not many people talk about 2nd Party games. 🧵

Making any kind of political commentary, especially publicly, can be leveraged against non-citizens and jeopardize their status.

This may seem silly, but since I was young I wanted to do something in video games.

Twitch just forced me to watch 8 separate 30 second ads right in the middle of something I was actively interested in and watching... mid-roll ads are garbage.

Everyday butter goes in the butter dish on the counter away from heat sources.
Cooking/baking butter goes in the fridge, because some recipes need chilled.
Spare butter goes in the freezer because I bought too much in Costco and that's how you store butter you're not using.
