This is, I guess, as good a time as any to let friends here know I was laid off this week and that I'm looking for work. I have 15+ combined years in games marketing, narrative, writing, & bizdev. So, hey, if you know anybody hiring, my DMs are open.

Though it’s just a snippet; Fable is looking beautiful. I can’t wait for the eventual full unveiling.

Breaks my gaming heart but I don’t begrudge it. Can’t say I’m surprised either. I’ve thought for a long time they shouldn’t release after Oct due to the GTA/COD ‘25 vacuum

It will give them more time to polish it up. If we’re lucky they won’t hold it for holiday ‘26 #Fable

I hate to hear this as well as EA’s outlook on it. Dragon Age: The Veilguard was my favorite game last year. Thank you to all who worked on it.
NEW: After the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, dozens of BioWare employees were told they were temporarily assigned to other projects within EA.

This week, a twist: those temp assignments are now *permanent* transfers. And BioWare has shrunk.

The games industry--at least for writers and NDs--is in turmoil. For a perfect storm of reasons. I don't know what it will look like when we come out on the other side of this bleak time, but I believe with my whole heart that talented writers will always find a place in the world

The main thing keeping me on Xbox over PlayStation isn't any single video game exclusive, it's Xbox Play Anywhere.

Microsoft needs to vastly expand and advertise this imo. www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/...
The main thing keeping me on Xbox over PlayStation isn't exclusive games, it's this underrated and overlooked feature
Xbox Play Anywhere is gradually expanding, but I want more, MORE! MORE I SAY! Why don't more developers support it? Do the economics work? Let's discuss.

I see a lot of Switch 2 and Super Nintendo Switch. I like both but what if #Nintendo throws us a curve ball and we get a “Switch Ultra”? It didn’t get used for the N64. Now seems like a good opportunity.

Do you think bringing out Hogan was #WWE being tone deaf?.. Or was it appeasing sponsors with an unexpected or even expected result?
