It couldn’t happen here, they said.

My kids like to run around and shout their feelings. ‘Happy!’ ‘Hungry!’ ‘Frustrated!’ Imagine if adults did this. We’d be a lot easier to deal with?

@kurlancheek @dogles @nabeel I will never live this down.

@dogles Fuck we're just coworkers? This is like when @diannuzzelli introduced @nabeel to his friends as his boss at a rock show.

Riot's severance seems really good. 6mos + insurance, etc. Last time I got laid off (less $, no insurance) I used that to bootstrap a new company with my coworkers. Made some games I'm proud of, and ultimately sold to Blizzard. Don't take it personally, and keep your chin up.

Really enjoying Spider-Man 2, but I wonder about the public health and hospital bill crisis of virtual NYC. The Spider-Men sure do seem to leave a lot of henchmen unconscious with (armchair diagnosis) traumatic brain injuries. . .

@CorySchmitz @_PlayerGreen @hami @PlayStation Grats Cory! You’ve created some of the most iconic game logos of the last decade. Guess we’ll all have to change employers to to work with you again, haha. Cheers!

Some large news… I’m joining PlayStation Studios Creative!! 💙

@sonofbadru A union fundamentally changes an employee's relationship with their managers, to promotions, compensation and benefits at the very least. This was a studio-wide surprise. There were many questions and few answers which is not a recipe for calm discourse.

@ethangach Kotaku article is one of the more fairly written about a really challenging situation. I'd like to offer an inside take on what occurred. Disclaimer, I’m a co-founder of Proletariat, and an Art Director at Blizzard. Views are my own.

Thank you for reading.

I think there's a way unions could be successfully implemented in game-dev. I am pro-labor, but I do not believe in a moral obligation regardless of the context. Union pro/con is not a simple choice. All nuance is lost in simple binary arguments and biased press releases.
