Absolutely disgusting and vile. So many men in this industry continue to thrive under the guise of being progressive and kind.

Hey everybody, you'll likely see accusations bubbling up in the Discord and online. Just want you all to know they're deeply unsettling and we're taking them seriously and will be having internal conversations about the next steps. We appreciate your patience and keeping the Discord civil for the time being.

The future of media in this industry is absolutely independent. It's something I've been preaching for the past two years. But independence still isn't sustainable, especially for reporters with "niche" beats.

In recent years, the media has quietly begun to change the way in which it writes about Bobby Kotick, the former CEO of Activision Blizzard. PMG investigates how Kotick used the threat of defamation to reshape his legacy in the games business, one article at a time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKwp...

I also got an email notification about this same post on LinkedIn, and it's bad out there! Content creators are not journalists. They serve completely separate roles.

2026 has been one of the hardest years of my life. As a result, I needed to take the necessary time for myself to process so much. But now, I think I'm ready. It's time for some JOURNALISM accessgranted.ghost.io/where-ive-be...

I am saying this with the utmost respect for disabled colleagues and peers – the "fart gas" issue with Wolverine is lacking a lot of nuance. The feature was not changed solely because of outcries on other social media apps. The gas was a genuine major issue for this game

Well, I finally took my own advice about building accessibility in from the beginning. Rebind Studios is officially underway. I’m excited to help teams solve hard accessibility and production problems and, eventually, to make some games of our own. www.rebindstudios.com

After approximately 120 hours and over a year of finding time to play, @p0ppyfield.com and I finally rolled credits on Baldur's Gate 3. What a FANTASTIC game. I know I'm super late to the party, but it's SO, SO good.

I know I recently wrote about my severe burnout, and I'm relaunching my newsletter this Friday to reflect that, but I'm not quite done yet with this industry. There's still stories to be told, and selfishly, I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet. It's time for some JOURNALISM

I genuinely do not know how you recover from that massive kh leak. I saw parts of it, and it's BAD. On the one hand, Nomura usually reveals all of the worlds before the game releases, but it's so disheartening to see this happen

I was incredibly excited about the OOT Remake until I saw the new control scheme. I'm really hoping it's optional and not forced, especially with the new camera controls.

While this statement continued to remain true throughout the final matches, it was so refreshing to see Charizard lose to a Dragonite. A really small deviation from the meta, but still exciting to see nonetheless

Currently watching Pokémon Worlds, and aggressively reminded that it's just the same thing year after year. The same Pokémon, same movesets, and same items. There is no risk taking. It's just the SAME THING

i completely get the irritation at "too many gta6 articles/posts" on mainstream games media sites and the responses from folks saying it's a traffic play (it is). but also i do not think ppl who read game sites daily understand the extent to which gta6 matters to ppl who only game occasionally.
