Well then. After 9 years my role of Editorial Director at Eurogamer/IGNE has been made redundant. If you’re reading this and feel I have a lot of valuable experience (I do), I’m keen to explore any opportunities (full time, consulting, other) in the games industry. I am great.

Suda51 reposted this on the bird website, which was very sporting of him, considering it contains a joke about kicking his testicles so hard they cease to exist

Had an article idea that would require hours of manual labour and provide zero journalistic value. Can't wait to go in Monday and pitch it

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.
