If you're a woman who plays EA Sports CFB or Madden, I wanna talk to you! And if you're a woman who loves football and don't play those games, I also wanna hear from you! Working on a piece on football, the sports video games, and well, US! RESHARES APPRECIATED

Having an editorial team of only cis-men in 2026 is a management failure, and we should treat it as such. There's no shortage of highly skilled, overqualified, funny, smart, and direct women, femme, trans, and non-binary people TRYING to work in games media. We just don't get to most of the time.

Didn’t know him outside of here really, but I know this hits close to home for many, for many different reasons. An unfortunate and terrible reminder that any man, even one of the “good ones” or whatever, can be a bad one.

It’s legitimately been a shock coming back to the US and seeing how widespread sports betting and other betting markets have become The ads targeting me, a guy in his 20s, have also been extremely off putting

Game critics, if you ever struggle to review a game in the meager time allotted to you, let PR know in an email. We can take that feedback and incorporate it into reports. Doesn't mean a CEO/director will see reason, but it's at least one more way we can fight to make things better for next time.

It’s HHM! As the industry falters, I’m lucky to have a role in games. As a Latino, even more fortunate as simply put, not many of us exist in games. If you’re reading this, I’m asking you to be an ally. Whether at an event or in a boardroom, please support and speak up for your Latino colleagues 🫶🏼

Pretty much everyone that I associated as the face of IGN since middle school is gone now. It's because all of them that I ended up in this industry. It's absolutely crushing that IGN let them go and a huge loss for the industry. I hope someone else snatches them up quickly.

I've been hard at work on my research project at the IUC, and finally decided its official title. It's a bit of a return to my PR roots. So far everything has been written in Japanese, and it's been extremely satisfying to see how much my JPN skills have grown since the start of the IUC.

Final Fantasy XV came out during my junior year of high school, and Final Fantasy XVI came out after I graduated college and was a year into my career. While XIV and the VII remake series are chugging along, it's pretty crazy to think I might be 30 before a theoretical XVII.
