Three IGN staffers were recently laid off; they were IGN Creators Guild members.
In a March 19 social media post, the union said it was blindsided by the layoffs of producer Francesca Rivera, video producer Jesse Gill, and senior editor Joshua Yehl.
"This decision was made despite the fact that the company is in no economic distress and without consulting the union…The company is claiming that these decisions were made prior to our recognition," the organization said.
"Failing to approach us prior to the layoffs, and instead only choosing to bargain over the effects of said layoffs is a massive breach of trust between union employees and management."
The union called IGN's decision a choice and not a need, citing that the staffers could have been transferred to any open positions at the firm.
It said, "This has had a detrimental impact on staff and will continue to do so as we move into IGN's busy events schedule, including the newly minted IGN Live."
Meanwhile, the IGN Creators Guild has filed Unfair Labor Practice charges against the entertainment firm.
The IGN Creators Guild says it has demanded that the company agree to its "comprehensive layoff and just cause language for our entire unit" to avoid further layoffs in this manner.
Last month, a cohort of more than 80 IGN employees formed the IGN Creators Guild, and parent company Ziff-Davis voluntarily recognized it weeks later.

Epic Games has made it clear that it will not allow scams and trickery in Fortnite, threatening to remove any islands and accounts that continue to engage in this type of behavior. Fortnite started off with Save the World and the classic Battle Royale game mode, but as time went on and as the game grew in terms of popularity, other game modes — Rocket Racing, LEGO Fortnite, and Fortnite Festival — were introduced. The game's Creative Mode, which eventually evolved and became UENF or Creative 2.0, has been incredibly well received.
In a major step towards protecting news publishers and content creators from copyright violations done by companies while training their artificial intelligence (AI) models, Electronics & Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the Indian govt is planning to formulate a new AI law. This development comes after the govt made it mandatory for companies to get a permit before rolling out their untested models, a decision that was highly talked about and ultimately revoked later on.
The talented team at SHIFT UP is getting ready to launch their next game. You may know them as the creators of Stellar Blade, a PlayStation 5 title, and Goddess of Victory: NIKKE. A new “AAAA urban science-fiction action RPG” for platforms including Android may be in the works, as the studio has lately placed job opportunities on its website.
fans looking to play through a piece of history or just embark upon a classic quest are in luck as a version of one of Gary Gygax's original adventures is now available for free. While Wizards of the Coast does encourage role-players to create their own fantasy worlds, the company also releases plenty of pre-written tales to flesh out its fantasy world and serve as prompts for those who may not wish to create entire worlds. Fortunately, those who may be hesitant to purchase one of these tomes can now check out a classic adventure for nothing.
Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss infamously had a planned trilogy in the works. Recently, the pair revealed just how close the films were to getting started before they got scrapped.
It’s been close to three years since Celeste and TowerFall developers Extremely OK Games revealed their next project, the similarly gorgeous-looking and sumptuous-sounding 2D exploration platformer Earthblade. While the studio didn’t give any indication of a release date at the time, we now know not to expect Earthblade until 2025 at the earliest.
Cardy, Matt, and Mat are here to talk about a right ol' mixture of stuff this week. We've got new games like Princess Peach: Showtime and old ones like the original Metal Gear Solid trilogy. Then there are brand-new films such as Civil War and Drive-Away Dolls, and a bunch of thrillers from between 1975 and 1981. Oh, and a new X-Men TV show that is kind of an old X-Men TV show.
According to reports from a recent NCSoft shareholder meeting, ArenaNet is hard at work developing Guild Wars 3. Though Guild Wars 2 is still receiving new updates and expansions, it seems like ArenaNet is already creating a sequel to the long-running MMORPG.
[UPDATE] Fellow South Korean website Inven actually transcribed the whole investor (as spotted by MassivelyOP) meeting and, as it turns out, Acting Chairman Park Byeong-moo specifically mentioned Guild Wars 3. So, it's official now.
Adaptations aren’t easy, and few people in Hollywood know that better than David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. The writing and showrunning duo ran the gamut on HBO’s Game of Thrones, starting off with five seasons of a better and more faithful translation to the screen than anyone could have imagined, before the series slowly went off the rails when they ran out of material. The pair’s new show, 3 Body Problem, proves that they learned a lot from their failures on Game of Thrones — but its struggles also prove that no two adaptations are alike.
