Just this week in games:
- EA laid off 700 workers
- Sony laid of 900 workers
- Rockstar announces in-person work mandates for all employees (a 'soft layoff' that will force some staff to quit, which likely means that actual layoffs are forthcoming)
In 2023 6,000 games workers were laid off. Now in 2024 over 10,000 workers have been laid off, and there's still 10 months to go.
Not to be hyperbolic, but I think this is perhaps the worst year for video games ever if we're measuring by number of layoffs.

Oh I remember this. What a CV to have.
[Image ID: A screenshot from reddit where user Aspenwood83 writes "He's not just an ex-EA exec, he's the ex-EA exec. The one who wanted to charge players every time they reloaded a gun. The one who called devs that don't implement microtransactions "f-ing idiots." And also the one who was at the helm of EA when they 'won' the Golden Poo as the worst company in America for an unprecedented two years in a row. During the Great Recession, when they were up against the banks that caused the financial crisis."]

My brother thinks he's the funniest man alive..
My older brother knows I love the Mass Effect series. I've done every romance, played the original trilogy, Andromeda, and then the Legendary Edition when it came out.
Every single one of my siblings kept telling me " You are going to absolutely love the gift he got for you"
Now anything involving this brother scares me a little.
The gift came in today...
He was DETERMINED to give me this "Christmas gift" today....
Ladies, gentleman, and all species in between this is the glorious gift my older brother gave me..
He found a Garrus Vakarian throw pillow. I don't know where he bought this (probably Amazon) but I just about pissed myself laughing when he handed it to me in the kitchen in front of our mother.
P.s. we're both in our 20s
