Hi friends,

I'm still here, looking for a day job, but amidst the state of video games journalism, I decided to start my own website - GameOni.gg. I'm hoping to mix the hard news that's been going around lately with some soft news, but today's Riot news is unfortunately when I'm announcing this site to the public:

https://gameoni.gg/2024/10/15/riot-games-reduces-headcount-to-save-money-promises-its-not-about-reducing-headcount-to-save-money/

If you or someone you know was affected by the Riot layoffs, or any other layoffs, and wants to talk, please feel free to send them my way. Wishing those affected nothing but the best.

I'm only a few "Microsoft buys every game studio in the world and then closes these studios" news stories away from burning my Xbox…

Holy cow I hate it when history repeats. It's the same shit like back then with Lionhead and Co.

@Knoebel As this type of news is extremely exhausting lately, is it possible to work with hashtags here?

I guess especially on the Fediverse it would help you reach more people. But just the Hashtag #Layoffs or #GamingLayoffs would help to filter out depressing news.
