In 2016, we published potentially the largest single feature to ever appear in Game Informer magazine with a full oral history of the legendary studio, BioWare. We've made that feature available online following reports of the studio's impending closure. gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

Incredibly mad. It is SO hard to get AAA games made with any queer rep at all, and BioWare was bold in their storytelling in this lane. I don’t know where I’ll find my next Fantasy Adventure game that lets me play and drive a narrative *like me.* Thank you BioWare devs for seeing us (and being us)
it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that
“Sexuality certainly doesn’t have to be a character’s story, but in this case I felt like I had something to say. I’d never had the opportunity to put a piece of myself in a character I was writing, so it was a very personal experience.” www.thegamer.com/dragon-age-i...
Thank you @davidgaider.bsky.social for the baddest and sassiest Tevinter Mage to ever do it. His success as a character didn’t hinge on his queerness but it sang because of it.

Last week, after two years of bargaining attempts, members of Activision Quality Assurance United voted to authorize a potential strike. If you want to support these workers in their standoff which stands to establish precedent and set baselines for the entire industry, now's your chance:

BREAKING: Activision QA workers have voted to authorise a strike with contract negotiations stalling after two years "After nearly two years of bargaining, repeated delays, and a refusal to meaningfully address key issues, we believe collective action is necessary."

after two years of bargaining thanks to activision's stall tactics, unionized workers have authorized a strike. I spoke to them, as well as an ex-employee with disability issues who was basically forced out of the company due to the return-to-office policies the union has been trying to fight
With Call of Duty release near and no union contract in sight, Activision workers authorize strike aftermath.site/activision-qa-...
If I had a nickel for every studio that unionized after John Hight ran and left a studio I’d have two nickels. Good luck D&D and Studio X, your CWA siblings stand with you! When the party is attacked we all roll for initiative.
Yesterday, Wizards informed us that it doesn’t intend to voluntarily recognize the D&D or Studio X units of our union ahead of a vote. We remain committed to creating a workplace focused on wellness, transparency, and collaboration by winning our coming election.

This is hands down one of my favorite things we host. The art from the community is always a delight to see.

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...
Love waking up to the President calling for US cities to be bombed. Very cool. Never forget this is the guy who bragged on 9/11 he now had the tallest building in NYC. apple.news/AR5gl9WS4Ram...
