We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are notβ€”whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Shout out to all the amazing Black game developers, media, and creatives across every part of making games. I’m rooting for y’all year-round.

Go follow Black folks making games. We’re often ignored, then imitated. Tag some Black devs below and follow the ones you don’t know yet.

Ubisoft shuttering freshly-unionised Halifax studio, 71 jobs affected The studio is the latest to be hit by the company's ongoing cutbacks.

Absolute shame on Ubisoft management for this revolting union busting move - no matter how they try to spin it, the timing could not be more obvious. Full solidarity with the workers ✊ keep an eye out for calls of support from @uwch.bsky.social !
