  • absolutely. Blizzard just had major layoffs to their Esports league, Epic had more than 800 layoffs, Naughty Dog laid off 25 or more developers and Ubisoft let go of 6 more employees after axing 60 earlier this year. and ofc the 9% of layoffs coming from CDPR this year.

    The gaming industry absolutely needs union protections to protect their jobs, especially since a job should be steady income, not a volatile workload like developing seems to be in gaming right now. another benefit might be to making big execs actually have reason to listen to workers when it comes to cases of sexual harassment like what we’ve seen at Zenimax and Blizzard




  • It’s been alright. I’m still having issue with the communities I want to follow, specifically certain games or franchises, either not having enough people posting or communities just not existing.

    I still stand by my decision to not use Reddit unless I absolutely have to for troubleshooting issues, but Lemmy and Kbin are lonely platforms still and that hasn’t changed since I’ve joined.

    I’ve also noticed how easy it is for a bot to spam and there is little to no safeguards around it. a week or two ago, there was a bot spamming a transphobic video to almost every community I followed so my feed was flooded. if a single account can do that, I can only imagine what a group of trolls could accomplish.

    I’m really disappointed by their absolute blunders when they had a working formula with Payday 2

    Can’t play offline

    Can’t play solo without queuing. ???

    You can lag if you have a bad connection while playing SOLO

    Long queues that go upwards of 20+ minutes

    Challenges being the only way to level up, instead of actually doing content you want to play
