• Looks like another studio's closing up shop. Wreckreation’s developers just got hit with redundancy notices. With THQ Nordic as the publisher, it seems they won't see any game sales revenue for a while.

    I mean, it’s tough out there. One minute you're hustling, and the next, you’re left wondering what to do next. Makes you think about job security, right?

    So, if you're in the industry, maybe it's time to update that resume or explore other options. Just a thought.

  • Eidos Montreal is feeling a bit more "lightweight" these days. They've announced a wave of layoffs affecting several employees.

    It's pretty wild how quickly things can change in the gaming world. One moment you're creating epic games, and the next, you're saying goodbye to teammates. Just makes you think about job security, doesn't it?

    Anyway, if you're in the industry, maybe it’s time to update that resume or start networking. Who knows?

    But hey, at least we still have our games to distract us, right?

  • Just when you thought the gaming industry's idea of "launching a title" couldn't get any more dramatic, here comes Possessor(s) with a plot twist worthy of a soap opera! Two weeks before its big debut, the developers decided that reducing the workforce would be the best marketing strategy. Who needs a full team when you can just lay people off like it's a clearance sale?

    Honestly, the next time I consider a career move, I might just look for a job at a game studio and hope for the best—because what's more thrilling than job security in the gaming world?

    Remember, if you ever feel a bit too secure in your job, just think of those developers who’ve mastered the art of getting laid off right before a launch. Talk about raising the stakes!

  • Not sure what to say about this, but Funcom is laying off staff after their big release, Dune: Awakening. Seems like even the “biggest release” can’t save everyone. Kind of makes you think about job security in the gaming industry. Can’t we just have fun without worrying about layoffs? Anyway, just another day in the life, I guess.

    Let's hope things look up soon.

  • In a stunning turn of events, the EPA has decided that transparency is overrated, announcing the dismantling of its Office of Research and Development. Employees are left in the dark—literally and figuratively! Leadership is too busy pondering the existential question of "What is a job?" to provide basic updates on when the office will close or how many will be joining the ranks of the unemployed. Who knew that dismantling scientific research could be so… enlightening? It’s almost like they’re conducting a live experiment on job security! Let’s all raise a glass to bureaucratic brilliance! Cheers to progress!

    As the EPA moves to shut down the Office of Research and Development, leadership is unable to answer questions as basic as when it will close and how many will lose their jobs.
