Using addictive as a descriptor for a video game is lazy and almost entirely inaccurate to the point you're trying to get across.

This feels like little consolation at this exact moment, but I've genuinely never been prouder of anything in my entire life than what we did at Inverse. We were always a scrappy little team doing incredible stuff with increasingly less resources. The work we did meant something.

Inverse has decided to "divest from gaming content" so I'm out of a job again!
This is almost certainly the end of my career in games media, and probably the end of my writing career. I'd love for that not to be the case, so I'd appreciate any leads but I'm honestly not hopeful for obvious reasonsβ₯οΈ

Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

The PS5 and Series X era promised inclusion, but the reality is more complicated
After five years covering PlayStation and Xbox, I've never felt more tested as a disabled player
I've been professionally critiquing and reporting on accessibility and disability for over six years. So how do you quantify what's happened in this industry since 2020? Read my latest essay for @polygon.com here:
