How long have you loved Sony and EA games? I'm sure the 900 former Sony employees and 670 EA employees would love to know.
Your silence is incredibly loud for someone with a big mouth.
The team at
@ToysForBob
is spinning off from Activision/Microsoft as an independent studio.
I’ve loved their games for 30+ years and am excited for the next chapter they will write.

Y'all remember when Neil showed up to the Golden Globes and was awkwardly standing on the red carpet and no one was talking photos? Any way Free Palestine.
Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann says he thinks AI technology will "revolutionise how content is being created" and "push the boundaries of storytelling".

We as an industry need to do better. 50 hr/wk is not sustainable. Crunch, OT, and "Passion" crunch are not solutions. Everyone deserves a proper work-life balance.
To all recruiters and companies the game industry is pushing to move pass nonsense of working OT and “passion” leading the way we need to be better and improve on the quality of life of workers and developers.
Thanks
