Happy launch day!!! Sad to be missing the big day with players while out at GameSoundCon, but stoked for them to be experiencing Castora and all the new content. I'm hoping to post some BTS on the sound design I got to work on over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out :)

I've been impacted as well. A disappointing end for Esports Insider, and especially tough knowing how many talented journalists poured their time and knowledge in it. It’s been a privilege to contribute alongside them
Esports Insider (ESI), after nearly a decade as a cornerstone of professional esports business and consumer journalism, has effectively collapsed following a devastating manual penalty from Google. https://t.co/fRUl87duYp

Just gotta keep reminding myself that a 6am flight on the daylight savings switch was worth saving $150. 😂🤪

I've made a point to stay off this hellsite, but crossposting that I've been impacted by a layoff wave at Riot. If you need content operations, content/brand strategy, tooling/systems leadership, product/project management then hit me up. 13+ years experience in games alone.

GDC is in a couple weeks. I'll be around! Come say hi? Would love to hear about what people are up to, and catch up over some tea or lunch.

Looks like applying internally might be off the table as there's no open positions I qualify for at the moment. I'm still holding on to hope but for now, if anyone has any recommendations for mid level production positions, please let me know 🙏

I'm fucking disgusted by the vitriol being spewed in replies & quotes from people who know absolutely nothing about how games, especially on such a big scale, are made. Stop pretending to be experts about things you know nothing about and fuck off back to your lives, holy shit
I’ve just been laid off from Highguard, where I worked as a Senior 3D Character Outsource Manager. I have about 60 days to find a new job in the US. Over the past year, I built and owned Highguard's 3D character and mount cosmetics outsourcing pipeline. I shipped 30 skins for

Notably absent in the accountability train are the leaders and investors who green lit this to ship. They get to fail upwards to a new project while the devs get facing the brunt of consumer harassment and unstable paychecks.

I could gush about my time working with Tereza at Riot but honestly her work speaks for itself.

Concord, 2XKO, Highguard. Exciting new era of gaming where suits will release a game and dump it after ~3 weeks if it makes less than a gazillion dollars. 🫠
Wildlight (Highguard) lays off staff according to a LinkedIn post "Unfortunately, along with most of the team at Wildlight, I was laid off today. This one really stings as there was a lot of unreleased content I was really looking forward to that I and others designed for

I hate to take any attention away from those recently affected, but I am also still looking for work after my contract with Riot Games was ended due to budget cuts. I’ve been out of work since December. If you could share the post below (or share again), I would appreciate it.

That's all for me. So proud of this thing and the people who made it. 8 great years of my life. I got to design Ekko! And lead the champs team! Dreamy. Devastating goodbyes all around. But I want this game to go hard for the FGC, and for those who remain. YOU CAN DO IT 2XKO.
