This is my old role. That I literally just left. I was making a few thousand less than this. I was not called a senior writer. I worked from 4 to midnight and had to do the same amount as every other news writer who had the support of a team and editors during the day. 1/3
USD$37,000
for a full-time "senior" position
british writers, i know the reasons for this, i get told them every time, but it doesn't stop it being a crime
To say that this feels like a slap in the face would be an understatement. While the reason I left has less to do with pay and more to do with many other issues I don't feel I can safely get into right now, all of the discourse I'm seeing hurts. This just hurts, man. 2/3
I hope my former company, and every other media outlet, does better in the future. Regarding both pay and work environment. That's all, I guess. I'm going to go play Baldur's Gate 3 and try to forget about everything now. 3/3

Hi,
@LukePlunkett
. This is my old role that I literally only recently just resigned from.
I earned a few thousand less than this. I wasn't even considered "senior" despite, yes, having more responsibilities as a solo writer.
This feels like a fucking slap.

My partner and I are unable to load into the game. We prepurchased Greymoor and had no issues getting on this morning after the initial maintenance. Now it just gets stuck on 'requesting character load' every time we try to log on?
If anybody knows of any gaming communities out there searching for new writers, please let me know! I've been with
@Twinfinite
but was let off today and just have a hole in my heart. I love the industry and want to continue to flourish within it. 💗
tfw you wake up to having been randomly fired, removed from every work platform, etc.
literally was working yesterday and had other upcoming assignments
physically and mentally sick tbh, and so confused it's unreal
Making female video game characters weirdly unattractive or unnaturally masculine is an odd trend in video game art that I think is worth discussing. What do you think is behind it?
Critics are allowed to have opinions and voices that do not align with your own. The world would be a very sad place if we all had to carry the same thoughts.
I'm tired of seeing people abuse game reviewers because they personally disagree. Play your game and enjoy it.
Thank you to all of the video game journalists that have been doing everything they can to help those of us who lost our jobs. More personally, thank you to my editors and coworkers from Twinfinite for being such an awesome group of people and remaining helpful.
I have been waiting for what feels like forever, and I will continue to do so until I finally am able to take in a fresh breath of my childhood's air with

@riad_chikhani
it would be amazing if you could publicly say literally anything at all about those of us who were fired in such a disgusting manner. I had been with my company since before Gamurs Group had bought it, and so had many of the other fired editors or writers.
You are too kind,

"The wholesome gaming community is soaring with an influx of cozy indie releases, and the dinosaur-filled Paleo Pines is among the most promising."
The radio silence has been anything but helpful. People are scrambling to find work. People are crushed by the loss of their teams, and more importantly their FRIENDS. I will miss Twinfinite so dearly.
You guys owe us a better explanation, AT LEAST.
This industry is gross.
Not only did I lose my job suddenly without any warning, it all happened via a mass email BCC'd to me that did not even have so much as my NAME on it. We all woke up to this. Woke up to being removed from every platform, unable to contact coworkers.
Another day, another set of applications and points of contact to work on. Just as a refresher, if anybody is looking for a video game journalist (freelance or otherwise), I am open and looking for work. I have experience and references to back me up. ❤️
I have never been as excited for a game as I am for Tears of the Kingdom... I am spending all of my time writing about the series' characters, lore, timelines, world, and more.
I cannot stress how much of an incredible editor Alex is. It was amazing to work with him and I have always looked up to his sheer ability and knowledge when it comes to covering games.
I've been let go by the Gamurs Group as part of network-wide layoffs and so won't be working for Twinfinite any longer. If anybody is looking for a writer/editor who knows online media, SEO, and quality writing like the back of their hand, give me a message.

's review, it's incredible and as someone who has never played a game from the series before... this has 100% convinced me to dive right into the new game
I have spent the past couple of days just wallowing in my depression over this, but now I am genuinely angry. Do any of you genuinely care about how this has devastated some of us? Or did you just care about the possible income upon buying a bunch of websites?
I bit the bullet and finally made an Epic account so I can play Ooblets and Ravenlok. 😭
I promise you're still the platform of my dreams, Steam! I just needed some things you don't yet have.

I'm Anja! I wrote with Twinfinite for a few years and have two degrees. Undergrad in literature, postgrad in medieval history.
I am primarily a creative writer and I am super interested in pursuing narrative design. In terms of journalism, I have done everything with gaming.
I may think that Baldur's Gate 3 is the best thing to ever exist, but this is a great read. I highly commend
@TheM0rri
for her bravery in sharing a controversial take and her opinion that has me rethinking my decision to not play Genshin or Honkai.
The temporal bloat is real. 😭
