PNW Game Artists & Developers - Halo Studios Layoffs Reaction

Resets, Revolutions, and Recalibrations: What's Next for the Video Game Industry? Yes, 2026, has been challenging for the games industry. In MBA-speak, it's been a mofo. The tectonic shifts have been felt globally...yet, they're so often concentrated here in the PNW. The internet and LinkedIn exploded this week with announcements about the Halo Studios layoffs. More "resets." Surprisingly, mainstream media generated little press. However, as usual, I'm more interested in microjournalism. The stories of change and managing the liminal spaces of what's next...written by artists and employees within the video game industry. What can we do? Fight. Personally, I've never hit my "weekly limits" for connecting and commenting on LinkedIn more than in 2026. All of those comments about jobs, "commenting for reach," and support hashtags (#OpenToWork). It's like running low on mana. Or ammo. Pick your metaphor. The bitter irony of "Commenting for Reach" isn't lost on me. Gaming language makes sense in these epic times. Game companies are shifting priorities, wrestling with AI, and attempting to adapt to a fragmented market with limitless options for gaming consumers. Almost any game...on any platform...anytime. This vicious battle for dollars and eyeballs is real. Are we repeating the crash of 1983? What about unionization? Is the industry's biggest clash an East vs. West mentality (à la Japanese developers staying leaner)? Or is the industry overly conflicted between AAA titles vs. lower-budget indie projects? Either way...layoffs hit hard. Sometimes, especially so when it's juggernauts: Microsoft, Bungie, Id, Halo Studios. Some experts say the video game industry is "recalibrating. But it's not going away. The industry, like gamers, knows better. Out of credits? So what. Out of quarters? Meh. Low on HP? Never give up. Don't forget that the video games industry has recovered before. And remember when video games beat Hollywood in revenue? That was a holy sh\*t moment for video games. Sorry, I meant "inflection point." So, as a gamer, I'll step it up. I've updated the video game job links database on my site. No paywalls. No signups. No subscriptions. No fees. No BS. Just direct links to jobs. Video Game Careers Database: https://www.olympicresume.com/video-game-industry There are so many great places to look across the industry. If it were me, I might shoot for Nintendo (I still have my original Legend of Zelda gold cartridge. And Hyrule map). Maybe Obsidian (We all know Fallout: New Vegas is still the best in the series). Perhaps Duolingo (500+ day streak and I'm loving the Brawl Stars collab). Or ZA/UM...I've literally gifted their masterpiece Disco Elysium. Regardless, I'm hopeful the industry isn't crashing like the early 80s. An industry full of creative talent that beat Hollywood still has a bright future. We humans cherish our myths, our legends...and our games. To be continued. \\\* P.S. In addition to the handful noted above, I included many other gaming firms in my database: 2K, Activision, ArenaNet, Bethesda, Blizzard, Bungie, CD Projekt Red, EA, Epic Games, Gearbox, Hard Rock Digital, Hi-Rez, Id, KRAFTON, Larian, Microsoft, Mojang, Naughty Dog, Netflix, NVIDIA, Pokémon, Riot, Roblox, Scopely, Supercell, Take-Two, Valve, and ZeniMax. Kind of my “dirty 30,” if you will. P.P.S. I've had the pleasure of working with several folks from the video game industry. However, I'd love to hear from even more industry veterans about these shifts. Ping me to discuss your story. \\\* Artwork: John Davidsson (Gemini Nano Pro x Canva). \\\* Extra Credit: Former Halo Devs React To Mass Layoffs And The Activision Takeover / Kotaku https://kotaku.com/former-halo-devs-react-to-mass-layoffs-and-the-activision-takeover-absolutely-brutal-to-see-that-studio-reduced-to-a-shell-2000736737 Japanese companies like Nintendo, Capcom, and Konami are healthier.... / GamesRadar https://www.gamesradar.com/games/japanese-companies-like-nintendo-capcom-and-konami-are-healthier-because-they-have-smaller-teams-dont-have-frequent-layoffs-and-dont-pay-executives-usd30-million-says-expert/ Microsoft's Xbox Reset https://medium.com/@davidsson/microsofts-xbox-reset-09c94accac19 The Console Wars Are…Over? https://medium.com/@davidsson/the-console-wars-are-over-d0762a94d17b \\\* \#VideoGames #Careers #CareerCoaching #Jobs #OpenToWork #PNW #VideoGameIndustry #Halo #HaloStudios #Microsoft #Layoffs

UK ADHD & Autism Clinicians & Researchers - Rising Assessment Demand

Very excited to announce that I am temporarily hanging up my lab coat in exchange for a blazer! 🥼➡️🧥 I have joined UK Parliament as a Nuffield POST Fellow. Over the next three months, I will be working at POST, UK Parliament to produce a POSTnote on the rising demand for ADHD and autism assessment and support across the UK. Since starting my PhD in 2023, I've been fascinated by the intersection of scientific research and policy, and how evidence can help inform parliamentary decision-making and shape public services. I'm excited to explore this important topic, learn more about how Parliament works from the inside, and gain first-hand experience in translating research for Parliamentarians. My first week did not quite go to plan thanks to an unexpected bout of norovirus, but I'm incredibly grateful to the POST team and my fellow Fellows for their kindness, support and warm welcome while I was out of action. A huge thank you to the Nuffield Foundation for funding this fellowship, the POST team for the opportunity, and my PhD supervisors, Bhuvaneish T.Selvaraj, Siddharthan Chandran and Colin Smith, for their encouragement and support throughout. I also want to thank everyone who offered advice, reviewed application drafts and cheered me on during the application process. I genuinely couldn't have done it without you. As I begin this project, I'd love to hear from people working in ADHD, autism and broader neurodevelopmental research, clinical services, education, policy, public health, or the lived-experience community. Please feel free to get in touch if you'd like to connect or share relevant perspectives and evidence. Looking forward to the next three months! #SciPol #SciencePolicy #UKParliament #POSTNote #ADHD #Autism #Neurodiversity #STEMCareers #PhDLife

Employers & Recruiters - Over 50s Adapting to AI

“Over 50s can’t adapt to AI.” Really? This came up when I was filming an upcoming episode ofOvee’s Beyond the CVwith Richard Spencer from AgeInc And Richard made a point that has really stuck with me. Think about the technology people now in their 50s and 60s have already adapted to across their careers. Fixed-line phones and paper-based processes. Personal computers. Email. The internet. Mobile phones. Smartphones. Cloud. Digital transformation. Remote working. And now AI. Richard’s view is that no one in the workplace has had to adapt to more change than people now in their 50s and 60s. Yet through the research I’ve been doing for theOvee Over 50 Initiative, I keep hearing the same assumption: experienced professionals are less adaptable, less interested in technology or unable to keep up. I don’t buy it. Not every person over 50 is great with technology. Nor is every person under 30. Capability isn’t determined by age. AI is going to change how we work. What should matter is whether someone is willing and able to learn, adapt and use it, not the year they were born. So I’d like to hear from employers, recruiters and experienced professionals: Are you seeing real evidence that over 50s struggle to adapt to AI? Or are we applying an old stereotype to a new technology? Keep an eye out for my conversation with Richard. We cover ageism, recruitment, technology, workforce demographics and why organisations need to think differently about experienced talent. Experience doesn’t expire. Let’s Get People Seen. Let’s Get Lived Experience Valued. Thanks Pete #Over50Initiative #AgeInclusion #FutureOfWork #ExperiencedProfessionals #BeyondTheCV #ovee

Builders Using AI - AI-Driven Knowledge Work Transformation

My time at Dev Interrupted has come to an unceremonious end. This week, my position at LinearB was eliminated, and with it, my role on the show. You can watch my final recording on last week’s Friday Deploy here: https://lnkd.in/g5fHfFCd I couldn’t be more proud of the agentic content team that Andrew Zigler and Adam Noble built. They’re a truly special production team that does something few others are capable of. We were talking about the future of AI-driven knowledge work, but we also lived and thrived in it. This write-up offers a glimpse behind the scenes if you want to understand what AI-driven content looks like: https://lnkd.in/g4fmkcaM If you think this is the last you’ll hear from me about AI-driven knowledge work, you couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m more motivated than ever to cover this transformation because I see knowledge workers everywhere trying to navigate the disruption AI is creating. They’re facing unprecedented burnout, unrealistic expectations, uncertainty about the future, and executive leaders who don’t always understand how new technology affects the people inside their companies. We’re living through the most transformational moment of our careers, and I'm here to expose it. I have a team that can cover it all. I especially want to hear from: • Builders who are using AI to achieve things they didn't think were possible. Everyone is looking for ways to expand their reach through AI, and you're the front line. • Knowledge workers breaking into tech for the first time. You’re building something fresh and the world needs to hear your perspective. • Engineering teams that have built the software factory. You're building the thing everybody wants and you should be lauded for it. • Tech leaders who want a media empire. We have the brand instincts to help you stand out and the technical understanding to make your message resonate. If this sounds like you, let’s talk. P.S. Adam Noble did his best to fill in for me this week and I think he has real potential to become a star. Give the episode a listen, then let Adam know what an amazing job he’s doing: https://lnkd.in/gfjUD87r

Professionals Navigating Career Transitions - Work Stories

If you had 1 hour to live, what would you do? who would you be with? Your answer reveals what you value about your time. Now answer this: if you had 90,000 hours, what would you do? who would you spend it with? Most of us pause at that second question. And yet it's really the same question, just a difference in magnitude. We spend an average of 90,000 hours working over the course of our lives. That makes work the longest relationship most of us will ever have. And still, so few of us stop to ask: is this relationship working? That question is exactly why I launched How's Work Lab. How's Work Lab is a community space where I have honest conversations with people across different jobs, careers, and professions about their relationship with work, and offer advice on how to make that relationship work better. It's for anyone who has ever felt unengaged, stuck, unfulfilled, or uncertain about their time at work. And it's for anyone who wants to learn from the stories of others navigating the same questions. As we continue to grow this community, I'm also looking for real career stories to feature. If you're navigating a crossroads, a career transition, a difficult workplace dynamic, or simply wondering whether your work is aligned with who you are, I want to hear from you. DM me. Your story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear. Two ways to be part of this: Follow @howsworklab (link in the comments) and join a growing community of people committed to making work more meaningful. Share this with someone in your life who might need it. The more real people and real stories we bring into this space, the more valuable it becomes for everyone. #howswork #howsworklab #careercoaching #meaningfulwork #leadership

Residents Living With Damp in Cornwall - Personal Stories

I have what often appears to people as an unusual mix of careers - artist and plumber. But this pairing frequently presents ways to interweave both pathways of my skills and knowledge. I’m very glad to say I’ve been awarded an Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grant to begin new research and artwork focusing on damp. Living with it, navigating it, and looking at how it finds its way in to our homes and workplaces. We live in a humid environment, especially in Cornwall, and much of our housing stock is ill equipped to cope with this. Whether this be poor design, the use of lower quality materials and builds, or years of maintenance and renovation work that didn't quite understand the existing building fabric and the need for buildings to breathe (I'm talking to you concrete render!). As well as being detrimental to our health and our emotional wellbeing, damp can be overwhelming to deal with, costly, and deeply shaming. I know this well from living, often precariously, in a variety of situations affected by damp. From terraced basements and seaside winter-lets, to cob cottages and concrete tower blocks, damp has lurked and lingered in most of the situations I have called home. I'm excited that for this new project I’m able to combine my plumbing, heating and retrofit knowledge and my art practice, coaching, and facilitation expertise to find out more more about how damp affects us, and what the barriers are to resolving damp issues. The ACE funded period will culminate with an exhibition at Auction House, Redruth, and a series of film screenings at University of Reading, Exeter Phoenix, and MIRROR at Arts University Plymouth. As part of this project I am hosting three public art and conversation workshops this Autumn: - ALMA Artspace, Newquay on Saturday 26th September, 2-4pm | book here: https://lnkd.in/eXBd2CSv - Musuem of Cornish Life, Helston on Thursday 22nd October 11-1 | book here: https://lnkd.in/erUcGFJK - Kresen Kernow, Redruth on Thursday 5th November 11-1 | book here: https://lnkd.in/eVtRHs2p If you have a personal story about living with damp that you'd like to contribute to my research I'd love to hear from you, please do get in touch. #damp #kernowlife #moisture #retrofit #housing

Technology Leaders Educators Students - Percent of Role AI Could Do

🚨 AI WILL LIKELY RENDER WHAT I DO - AND WHAT YOU ASPIRE TO DO - OBSOLETE. That sounds uncomfortable. It is supposed to. But I am not predicting that software engineers, accountants, marketers, researchers, cybersecurity professionals or engineers will simply disappear. I am arguing something more important: 👉 A significant portion of what these professionals do today is becoming automatable. And that could fundamentally rewrite the career ladder. For decades, professional progression broadly looked like: Learn → Execute → Gain Experience → Manage → Lead In the AI era, I believe it may increasingly become: Learn → AI-Augment → Automate → Integrate → Architect → Govern → Lead Why? Because when AI can write routine code, analyze datasets, prepare reports, generate content, summarize research, perform reconciliations and automate increasingly complex workflows, execution alone becomes less differentiated. The economic premium starts moving upward. 💡 From coding → architecture 💡 From reporting → interpretation 💡 From content creation → insight 💡 From manual analysis → decision intelligence 💡 From operating processes → automating processes 💡 From using AI → orchestrating AI 💡 From technology execution → governance and leadership This has profound implications for professionals - and an even bigger implication for education. I don't believe we should tell the next generation: ❌ Don't become an engineer. ❌ Don't become an accountant. ❌ Don't become a marketer. ❌ Don't become a cybersecurity professional. Instead, we should tell them: ✅ Become an engineer who understands AI. ✅ Become an accountant who can leverage AI. ✅ Become a cybersecurity professional who can secure and govern AI. ✅ Become a marketer who combines AI-scale experimentation with human insight. ✅ Become a leader capable of managing humans AND intelligent machines. And education needs to evolve accordingly. Perhaps the wrong question is: “Will AI take my job?” The better question is: “What must I become when AI can do much of what my job requires today?” That is the central argument of my new article: 📖 “AI Will Likely Render What I Do - and What You Aspire to Do - Obsolete.” I would particularly like to hear from fellow technology leaders, educators, students and professionals: What percentage of your current role do you believe AI could perform within the next five years - 20%, 50%, 80%? And more importantly: What are you learning today to remain valuable tomorrow? #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWork #GenerativeAI #AgenticAI #MachineLearning #FutureSkills #CareerTransformation #DigitalTransformation #AIEngineering #CyberSecurity #TechnologyLeadership #Leadership #Reskilling #Upskilling #FutureCareers #Education #DrNileshRoy #CyberSentinel

SpaceX Community Members - Personal Profiles & Career Fails

147 people in this group. And I'd bet almost none of us have actually met. For a community built around the idea of going somewhere nobody's been, that seems like a fixable problem. So let's fix it. Over the next few weeks I'm featuring up to 10 members of the SpaceX. community right here. A real write-up ... who you are, what you're building, and the actual human behind the headline. 👇 WANT TO BE FEATURED? 👇 Comment with: 1️⃣ Your story ... how you ended up caring about this stuff 2️⃣ What you actually do for a living, honest version 3️⃣ What you're building right now ... orbital, terrestrial, or somewhere in between 4️⃣ The most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you professionally Number 4 is the one I actually want. This is a room full of engineers, founders, and operators, and every single one of us has a story we'd rather not tell. I'll go first: I once presented a full financial model to a board with my slides on the wrong quarter. Twenty minutes, straight through, complete confidence. Nobody said a word until Q&A, when someone asked why Q3 revenue appeared to have time traveled. Rapid unscheduled disassembly of my credibility. Recovered on the next flight. 😅 Every good launch program is built on the failures nobody posts about. Same goes for careers. 🙋 KNOW SOMEONE WHO BELONGS HERE? Nominate them in the comments. Tag the engineer, the founder, the space nerd, the brilliant lurker who reads everything and posts nothing. I'll reach out and write them up too ... and if they're not in the group yet, send them here: https://lnkd.in/gC5eN25Z Tagging a few of you to get us off the pad ... no pressure, but I'd genuinely love to hear from each of you: Luiz Fernando Hansen Rogelhand Ulrich Houngue Joshua Adebayo Ali Raza Justus OD Jimmy Hayes Idris Ali Abubakar Preston Loxton Nuv Ahuja Paulo Kemp Not in the community yet?

Women in Tech & Engineering - Family Pushback & Resilience

Every woman in tech or engineering has a story she doesn't usually tell in interviews. The one about the relative who said "this field isn't for girls." The argument at the dinner table before you got permission to apply. The professor who doubted you until your grades didn't leave room for doubt. The moment you almost switched fields — and the reason you didn't. I'm writing a book about exactly these stories — real experiences of women in tech, AI, and engineering, mostly from Pakistan but I'd love to hear from anywhere in the world. So tell me, in the comments: 🔹 What challenge did you face choosing this field — family, society, or the field itself? 🔹 Did you have to convince (or even push back against) your parents or family to study or work in this field? 🔹 How did you deal with it — what actually got you through? 🔹 What does "success" in this field look like for you now, looking back? Your answer, even a few lines, could end up in the book — and could be the exact thing another woman needs to read to know she's not alone. I'll always ask permission first, and you can be named, credited by first name only, or fully anonymous — your choice. Let's make sure the next generation of women in tech and engineering doesn't have to learn these lessons the hard way. 🤍 Tagging some incredible communities doing this work — would love for this to reach your members too: WomenInTechPK LWiC - LUMS Women in Computing Women Engineers Pakistan INNOVentures Global Private Limited UN Women Women Techmakers WomenTech Network Girls Who Invest GirlsWhoData Tech Up For Women Tech Is For Women Tech Is For Women Tech Is For Women Tech for Women Entrepreneurs Tech Jobs for Good Girls Who Invest Girls in Growth Girls in Tech Girls Who Like Code Women's Voices in Tech She's Beyond She's Beyond Careers for Women in Tech and Consulting Tech Queen 👑 - Mentoring for Women in Technology Centre for Women Emp in Tech CWE-TECH Rachel Park, Coach for Women in Tech Lucy Engel For more Women in Cyber and Tech AI for Women Women's Desk ICMA Women's Network Women's Forum, Powered by Creative Planning
