Wizards of the Coast has refused to recognise a union formed by the Dungeons & Dragons and Studio X (Magic: The Gathering) teams. It also failed to recognise a Magic: The Gathering Arena union back in May, after which members elected to unionise on their own regardless.

thisweekinvideogames.comWizards of the Coast Refuses to Recognise D&D and Studio X Teams' Union Efforts“We remain committed to creating a workplace focused on wellness, transparency, and collaboration by winning our coming election," the union said.

You know, I normally prefer adaptations to stay fairly close to the source material but I thought Mike Flanagan's Carrie TV Series was absolutely fantastic even though it was wildly different. A lot of people will moan about the differences but I thought it was a wonderful updating and expansion.

Rockstar has repeatedly alleged that a games journalist was a member of the union Discord, posing a significant threat to the company's security. This is something we've covered in our earlier reporting, but there's some interesting context that just got brought up in the tribunal regarding timing.

Hey @info.gouv.fr The guy at the start gets nabbed and beaten up for absolutely no reason. I demand answers. The government is responsible.We won't let up until there is a speedy commission of inquiry and you are held accountable for your role in blocking the creation of a republican police force.

Donc tout le monde s’est retrouvé sur le boulevard, plus ou moins dans le mal. A ce moment je suis parti, et tant mieux parce que juste après les flics ont ont chargé, tabassant en règle certains étudiants, et finalement bloquant ceux qui restent au milieu du carrefour.

Figures...

Damn, you've got to imagine Rockstar never envisioned a speech like this one happening when they fired those 34 workers, huh?

Austin Kelmore@austinkelmore.com

Closing out the rally, @nershly.bsky.social beautifully speaks about her experience being fired by Rockstar and how they try to use fear.

It's quite funny that everyone on Youtube seems to be going crazy for an unofficial DLSS5 mod when the reaction to Digital Foundry's first video on original announcement seemed to be met with almost complete disgust and cries of "Sell outs!!" Huh. #DLSS #DigitalFoundry

Hopefully you'll all be pleased to know that the production line for VoS edits has finally restarted after its summer break... VoS will be back in September! 🙂

I'll probably regret saying this but Expedition 33. I immediately liked the first 2 characters we were introduced to but by the time I'd got through the opening I was so massively depressed I was put right off playing any more. Do not see the appeal.

No hate, no dogpiling, just curious. For me, it's Skyrim. Don't know why, considering it should be exactly my kind of game, but it just didn't click for me.

Today at HQ, we had special guests from Microsoft leadership. We refuse to let executives forget what game studios are actually made of: their workers. As welcome gift, we placed hundreds of flags outside, honoring all of the game workers who have been laid off by Microsoft in 2026 (so far).

🇬🇧 My 11-year-old son forgot the small digital camera he got for his birthday at the Chagnats rest area on the A10 motorway (heading towards Paris) around 7:45 PM on July 22nd. He is heartbroken, so if anyone happens to find it...

The timing of this kind of press is intentional. How are they going to make these games when Bethesda and Obsidian collectively laid off hundreds? Don’t fall for it.

Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social

NEW: Bethesda has announced a slew of new Fallout games, including Fallout 5 and Fallout 3 + New Vegas remasters. The company also confirmed my scoop last week that it is working with Obsidian on a Fallout game. I spoke to Todd Howard about the roadmap: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Background: Charlie noticed this strange version of a well-known concept art piece by Ralph McQuarrie for Star Wars (1977) in the recent book about ILM (which, other than that, is apparently fantastic). So he wanted to know if it was a printing error. But it looks more like a botched upscaling job.

After having it sat in my library for ages I just loaded up Octopath Traveller II for the first time. Wow! What is it about JRPGs that they so often have such fantastic music? I've not really touched the genre in ages but that title music instantly transported me across the decades 👍😀👍

Just so you know, if you see this guy in a video, odds are high that you're about to be told something iffy. Dr. Casagranda is all over social media but his research abilities leave a little to be desired. In short: street sewers were mostly for rain & other liquids, not for serious icky waste.

"All I see is even more cultural vandalism from the game industry’s greatest specialists in it, and a hobby and an artform rendered less interesting, and more cruel, with every passing day." @hitpoints.bsky.social shares some thoughts on Xbox's forthcoming 'reset.'

I hope someone, somewhere cracks down on this shit. It’s basically akin to breaking into someone’s shop and stealing all their wares to sell elsewhere. Another example of why GenAI sucks and should be taken down.

Chet Faliszek@chetsucks.com

All uses of AI are costing someone… this sucks as the Game UI database is such a valuable resource.

On a day when the stock market is set to reward someone who keeps causing harm all over the world, it’s a good reminder that even before we change the laws to make all sorts of disgusting but currently legal things illegal, the law should first apply equally to the rich.
