The full series of posts show Ruppert’s love for the job and some insight in the current happenings over there.

Working in games when you have high anxiety during a mass layoff trend (across the whole industry) is panicking at every new meeting invite like “is this the one where I lose everything” and that’s super fun.

Well… my heart is breaking for all affected I am now looking for opportunities. I have 21 years of games industry experience in media, production, and community management. I’m processing,I’m so heartbroken. I don’t know what to do from here… this was my home. I feel so lost

With Chew having been laid off earlier this year, I am terrified we are going to lose our house. More than that, I can’t imagine not going into the studio on Fridays for hugs. Goofing off with DPS, brainstorming with the raid team. Accessibility… I just can’t. Love to all
