Okay sorry I just want to say that it's a pretty clear sign both of how devastated the media landscape is and how hard it has especially hit women that we are not INUNDATED with cool writing at every single outlet about Silksong and WOMEN

We are taking pitches for the end of 2026 onwards and we'd love to see your indie games!

We have a history of success in the Simulation / Management / Strategy genres, so games like this are always of interest, but ultimately are open to seeing games from other similar genres.

New month, new reminder that I am available for work! While I am actively seeking my next full-time home, I am also freelancing in the interim.

I have a decade of experience in criticism and features, and have edited full-time for major publications for the last six years.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself.

Pass the hat, RTs graciously appreciated, etc.

I was recently laid off by ARTnews, a few days before the theft at the Louvre. The terms of my TN work visa means I can't freelance unless I donate the funds to charity. I'm open to new FT roles in business reporting and communications, and am willing to relocate to other cities, including Toronto.

This feels far too evergreen, but we're always open for feature pitches at pitches@gamesradar.com, and my personal email is in bio.

I get to work with so many brilliant writers, and there's always room for more ❤️

If anyone who was laid off from TheGamer today has a piece they were working on and need a home for, Skybox wants to hear from you, and we pay pretty well.

We can't make up for you being laid off, but we'll do what we can.
Valnet unfortunately let go of the entire TheGamer features team today alongside several other staff members.

Many incredibly talented and hard working writers I've had the pleasure of working with over the past several years.

Needless to say, like many amazing others, I'll be available for work. If you need anyone with experience in:

- Video Production
- Video Editing
- Editorial Work
- Writing
- Graphics
- Management

Or just about anything else, because I've learnt so much already, so why not more?

See you around.

After 6 years with TheGamer, Valnet has decided to shut down features and lay off the entire team, including me.

I don't know what's next for me but I intend to stay in games, whether that's at another outlet, consulting, or PR. If you have any leads, I'd appreciate any help

TheGamer is losing so much talent today, it breaks my heart. On a personal and professional level, I cannot put the loss into words.

Everyone being laid off today is incredible and would be an asset to your team. They have jumped through more hoops than you can imagine. Hire them!

Unfortunately, my time as an Editor for TheGamer.com has come to an end.

I met some of the best coworkers I've ever had there, I learned and grew a lot.

If anyone is looking for a journo, especially for guides, reviews, VR, horror, and farming RPGs, I'd love to hear from you.
