Ubisoft EMBARGOED news to outlets about the layoffs and studio closures, FYI.
Employees were told this morning. And then many reached out to us.
Companies trying to embargo layoffs and closures might be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in my 16 years.
We ran Beasts of Mystery for Mystery Game last night at Tuesday Trials! Was definitely a big hit, and Mothman was by far the most popular hehe

The fund will be run and distributed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social, local 9433 of Communication Workers of America, paying their own operating costs. Looking especially for games that have not been in bundles before, or which are new to itch. Please share widely and let's help some folks.
Like people have claimed that about fighting games for YEARS but anytime i watch a fg tournament lately the top 8 inevitably has 1 or 2 "19yo who just started playing last year" guys absolutely ripping dick off and its like
No! The youth enjoy this old shit too on its own merits!!
1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.
"It's not just high flying now."
Yeah, Lucha Libre. That colour and cultural phenomenon, not renowned for its stories and pageantry.
After @tepidsnake.bsky.social kindly reminded me that arcade manuals are fun things to look at, I thought I'd share some choice images of Soul Edge's as this week's subscriber-exclusive post! Contains everything from general tips to joystick templates - come take a look!
