🎮🧑‍💻🎠 About These Layoffs…

Game Developer Carousel

Thank you for signing up for this newsletter!

I'm not spending any advertising on or going hard on metrics. The more people sign up for this newsletter, the more I see this whimsical project is resonating with folks. Thank you for being here, and forward this email or share the link with folks.

I'm trying to limit to two emails a week, then semi-daily reminders during GDC week till March 21st. I'll do a post-event email with an optional survey for feedback after the event. Hopefully this strikes the right balance of being informative without being noisy, but let me know.


Today's news of even more layoffs is a hard reminder at how brutal GDC is going to be this year.

I know this silly project of whimsy won't fix the major issues the game industry is facing now. I can only hope it serves as a reminder: Despite what management or investors tell you, kindness is not a weakness but is strategic and necessary.

However you discover this project, know that it's my hope you remember that the problems your facing are seen and valid. I hope a moment of respite will remind you that joy does exist and you are deserving of happiness.


See you on the carousel!

The Game Developer Carousel is a project of whimsy by John "Seg" Seggerson.
