Abstract
The games industry is seeing unparalleled mass layoffs since 2022. Cheap debt, the Covid-19 bubble, investor imprudence, and executive extravagance have produced an unsustainable boom and investment spree that flowed into today’s disastrous bust. For workers in the games industry, collective organization is a difficult but necessary response to ensure a healthier and more resilient future for all.
