I’m so glad I had a chance to work for Jhaan. He was an amazing human and singlehandedly held down the Launcher video team. The Post is losing a good one today.
Replying to @LauncherWP
@LauncherWP had a great run. I'm among the people that got laid off today. Here are my thoughts. I love my team so much, they are some of the best people I've ever had the privilege to know. @LeaderGrev @pithyalyse @Shannon_Liao @Vahn16 rule, please hire them asap

Nathan is an awesome journalist he did great work at Launcher glad to have worked with him
Replying to @Vahn16
just got out of the meeting about it, so still sorting out what it all means. I've got a book to work on, so at least there's that, but also open to hearing about opportunities in games/digital culture journalism or influencer relations/something else that involves creators

Also Mikhail was one of the best parts of Launcher and helped me out a lot. He’s deserves the best. If you are looking for an all-star editor he’s your guy.
This is one of the worst parts of it all. We had big plans — and the start of the year is when you think about going back to basics and really setting things straight. Heartbroken for the whole team.

Anyone would be lucky to have Alyse, reach out if you have any openings in the gaming journalism space!
it's official - I've been laid off from @LauncherWP, along with many of my hardworking colleagues. still processing everything rn and trying to figure out the next steps, but I'll be looking for work in editing as well as games/online culture journalism

To anyone hiring in the games journalism industry, Shannon is an incredible journalist. It’s tough to see this happen but we’re all here for you

I’m shocked and saddened to hear this. There is a lot to say about the quality of these people and the work they produce.
Today The Washington Post decided to lay off five members of the Launcher team and sunset the site. I’m heartbroken to lose @LeaderGrev, @JhaanElker, @pithyalyse, @Shannon_Liao and @Vahn16 to The Post's layoffs. 🧵

I never met @Vahn16 but fortunately through dozens of episodes streaming WaPoStoMode I had a front row seat to his humor, knowledge, and wonderfully fluffy cat. That Joe Biden story was legendary too. And also the whole thing about making streaming better.

All of these people would be super hires. Happy to vouch for any of them. They deserve it. I owe them a lot for my development as a writer.
