How The Game Awards voting works It’s the press and fans, not game devs, who vote on The Game Awards

A note about the TGAs worth remembering as this Future Class story unfolds: it’s a marketing beat, consumer-facing, and voted on by media/influencers. Developers are, by design, not included or considered in the structure. Which feels bad! www.polygon.com/explained/49...

SUPER excited to announce I'll be speaking at @nzgda.bsky.social this month at NZGDC! I'm giving a talk and moderating a panel. Hope to see you there!

In the four years I've been at IGN I've watched its staff shrink and shrink, all while those who remain are asked to do more and more. I see colleagues skip lunch, stay late day after day, and burn out.

IGN staff are passionate and love their work. But we can't keep letting that be exploited.

LMAO WHAT IS THIS SHOW 🤣🤣🤣

VERY necessary thread. I empathized with this on a similar level.

🤣🤣🤣 but also AGREE

I really enjoyed your workshop! Thank you so much!

You CRUSHED it!!!

Because you’re the McGreatest!!!

AHHH WE OUT HERE @zeestermeester.bsky.social

With how many layoffs we’ve had over the past several years, remote work should be the default. Requiring relocation at this point is unreasonable for the risk that we’re just going to get laid off two months, six months, a year in.

Work With Us We strive to create a supportive, creative workplace where Rioters can focus on what matters most: players. Learn more about Riot Games culture and workplace here.

My heart goes out to folks affected by the layoffs. Goodness gracious. This is ridiculous. 💔

Please be sure to check out the listings over at Riot Games! If you need any help, please let me know!

Losing my absolute mind over creative industries laying off people who MAKE THE THINGS but executives are still out here, kicking around.

Are they gonna look up from the longwinded LinkedIn post they’re inevitably gonna throw up there, and make the games? The books?

What are we doing here?

NINE THOUSAND????

Thanks for coming!!

The struggle is real!!!

OKAY WE'RE BACK THIS THING IS LIVE

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you @blackgirlgamers.bsky.social !!
