“At least one person from almost any department at a company like this you can imagine got some bad news today”
Welp, this didn’t take long.
It’s especially interesting that they laid off a lot of people who were the only ones in their particular job, leaving entire jobs uncovered. I suspect this comes right before shutting them entirely or doing it all “with AI” 🤮.
Sad in particular about Alice Bell. She was fantastic, and it always felt like she kept the site going through all the shit of recent years. Plus being the driving force behind their podcast (the Electronic Wireless Show) of course also spells doom for that one though I hope that like Indiescovery they go rogue and run it independent of the site.

I’m amazed they are allowed to own both publishing for video games (Humble) and publishing for journalism.
By this point I’m surprised that they’re not allowed to own people, seeing as their business model treats people as if they are property.
Honestly at this point I’ll be surprised if we DON’T see openly employer owned & operated towns for employees.
