Definitely. It just sucks that they'll probably only be blacklisted, if they can even find who broke embargo. It's messed up when codes for big games are hard to come by for some journalists, and the people who are lucky enough to get them ruin it for everyone.

There should be actual punishments for people who break embargo like this. You are lucky enough to get an early code for a game and your first move is to break embargo, kill your relationship with Capcom, and spoil a game that thousands of gamers are excited for? This is horrible.

This is bullshit. What????

10 games to get to know me🎮

After losing my main byline in yet another mass layoff, I am looking for work in video game journalism. I am also open to video game PR jobs, so if you have connections there, please DM me! I have written 1,500+ articles for guides, news, and reviews across multiple bylines.

My review of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is finally here… on Skybox! Sorry I was late, but it was worth the wait.

I had the privilege of playing Silent Hill f early and I can confirm that it's one of 2025's best horror games! I'm about 80% of the way through and can't wait for everyone else to experience this game🤍

How am I supposed to work and act like it's a normal day on October 2 when both Ghost of Yotei and Critical Role Campaign 4 drop that day???

If you're a fan of Fear and Hunger or Omori, you'll love this new game by @frankiepixel.bsky.social, Look Outside. Started playing yesterday and already hooked. A survival horror RPG with Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam. Why aren't more people talking about this game?!

Summer Game Fest and my Switch 2 delivery being on the same weekend is gonna make it the best weekend of the summer.

Thank you Daniel. This industry is so broken right now :(

Lost a good freelance gig yesterday. I'm just gonna try to relax this long weekend and not think about the downfall of the gaming journalism industry by playing some Oblivion, Expedition 33, and Doom. ✌️

I'm so sorry Gio, you don't deserve to go through this alone. We're here for you, especially us DT freelancers ❤️

if all of these video game outlets are cutting back on staff, and they're also cutting back on the freelancers they've used to make up for the holes in the masthead, then where exactly are they planning for the coverage to come from?

If you're thinking of getting into gaming journalism at this point in time, don't. Sincerely, from a tired gaming journalist.

I have been laid off from TheGamer.

Open to any and all work for video production and writing both in the industry and outside it.

Got excited for the upcoming Mafia: The Old Country, and noticed the Mafia Trilogy bundle, which includes I and II's remasters, is only $12! As someone who has never played these games before, is this worth it?

when one falls, we continue 🖤 #expedition33
