Todd Howard dropped a massive Bethesda roadmap: remasters of Fallout 3 and New Vegas, Fallout 5, and an Obsidian collab are in the works, but the main priority is The Elder Scrolls VI. 17 million players spent almost a billion hours in Starfield; Fallout 4 sold 35 million copies, Skyrim, 65 million. Raven Rock DLC for Fallout 76 lands in 2027, same as the Starborn update. Fallout 5 is in pre-production, remasters have no dates yet. Fallout turns 30 in 2027 with a special live event in Washington. Filming for season 3 of the show is already FULL SWING 🔥

This is not exclusively about Fallout, but it's a great place to spark the discussion. No matter if you're excited or not for the incoming Fallout projects, whether it's the new Fallout game or the remakes for Fallout 3 and New Vegas, we shouldn't forget that we're receiving these news now as a smokescreen to distract the public from the layoffs at Microsoft.

Unfortunately, this is nothing new in the industry. A few days ago we received this communication from ZA/UM:

ZA/UM, yes, the same company that stole the company and intellectual property of its original developers and creators and now they're "sharing the difficult news" with the next blow to its workers.

People need to always keep in mind that a company doesn't equal the workers nor the art. They're the ones who need the workers, not the other way around, but it's easy to forget the power of collective action. Time and time again we see it in the videogame industry, how companies will shamelessly subtract value from the workers and then dispose of them. Despite the all time hype the Fallout franchise is experiencing Microsoft still has no issues in getting rid of its workers. It has happened before with other companies, like Ubisoft announcing layoffs across multiple studios, and announcing even more in Ubisoft Barcelona even after the record sales of Assassin's Creed Resynced.

If you love videogames, please, stand at least in solidarity with the people who make them. In this landscape of corporate greed, AI and a constant erosion of worker's rights we need more than ever to stand together. The best way to protest is to unionize and stand in solidarity, being together and stand shoulder to shoulder with the people who make the art and videogames we love so much.

Considering microshit absolutely gutted Bethesda, the new fallout games are definitely going to be largely vibe coded trash not worth playing right?

Like they admitted to vibe coding fucking windows updates there's no way they care enough about games to actually make anything quality

Apparently there’s been some protests by Bethesda, Zenimax, and Union workers across North America to protest the mass layoffs

Here’s an article: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/07/hundreds-rally-at-bethesda-hq-to-protest-xbox-layoffs-and-ars-was-there/

Let’s see if it does anything

Thank you for sharing the article. I am hopeful these protests will at least get more Bethesda/Zenimax employees to get involved in whatever unions they have access to.

The other day when these protests were happening I was a bit torn because small scale protests dont usually have any effect, especially against mega-corps like Microsoft so it felt like screaming into the wind...

But if these protests can at least *discourage* Microsoft from future/imminent layoffs, its a very good thing for remaining Bethesda/Zenimax employees + those at other studios that suffered layoffs.

The games industry baaadly needs stronger unions. Unions in general need more active member involvement as well because the unions (if theyre strong enough) could be the only thing that ends up preventing mass layoffs like this in the future
