Multiple game studios have recently closed because their titles couldn't compete with established live-service games like Fortnite. Meanwhile, you can also literally work on Fortnite and get laid off and Tim Sweeney remains a billionaire.
Something has to change. The time is now.

BREAKING: Epic Games is laying off more than 1,000 workers today, sources tell Bloomberg News. Story hitting shortly
Every day there are new reports of ICE detaining and targeting our communities. Video game devs and the workers who keep our workplaces running are not safe from this.
That’s why we’ve launched WE DON'T PLAY WITH ICE, a campaign demanding companies commit to becoming 4th Amendment Workplaces.
All my GDC 2026 fits! This is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike and for everyone who asked where I get my jewelry, it’s from Ask & Embla 🖤

A stained glass-style depiction of The Game Awards trophy, emerging from a bank safe with green bills pouring out the opening. Two large ominous hands hover around the trophy, one holding a scythe to its torso. The depiction is headlined with THE AVARICE AWARDS, with details below: PRESENTED BY UNITED VIDEOGAME WORKERS, A CODE-CWA UNION LIVE ON DEC. 10TH AT 7 PM PT AT HTTPS://TWITCH.TV/UVW_CWA
The Avarice Awards holds a mirror to the hollow glamour of The Game Awards, as workers continue to have their livelihoods upended by mass layoffs. We are speaking truth to the powers ruining the game industry with their greed!
Stream begins on December 10th at 7pm PT / 10pm ET on twitch.tv/UVW_CWA
