Super proud of my PhD student @RantingStant for leading on this fantastic (and very timely) paper examining all the games journalism closures we're seeing at the moment. It's open access!

Very excited to share my first article in Games and Culture has finally been published in Open Access format.
If you have questions about the sustainability of Games Journalism at the moment, this is the paper for you!

Ah damn I have not been online after posting this but I just saw that there’s been more Aussie games press layoffs.
I joked with friends that every milestone with this article coincided with more layoffs (starting with Waypoint) and it’s heartbreaking to see that trend continue
Very big thank you to the reviewers, editors, and of course, my co-author and mentor @mrj_games

A while ago I realised that most of my absolute favourite games writers all originated from other creative disciplines. So my advice to budding journos since has been to be okay with it as a side gig, and not just focus everything on games. Go do *literally anything else*.

Despite all the shit going down, I really hesitate to turn people away from the act of writing about games, because a diversity of talent and perspectives will always be needed to stop turning the field into absolute mush.

The way he sends these attacks with dogwhistles putting them front and centre while pretending to his under the veil of respectability politics is sickening

Hello! Do you or someone you know (who is based in Melbourne) have a child aged 7-14 who has spent money in digital games? If so, I’d love to chat to you both for our study on understanding children’s digital play!

ALT A screenshot from the GoFundMe campaign description: “We are launching a heartfelt fundraiser to aid the members of my friend's family to get the necessary paperwork done so that they may cross the Rafah border, ensuring a safe passage to Egypt. This requires $7000 for each adult family member and about $1000 per child, and so we are asking for your help. We are asking for $70,000 For a total of 8 adults and 7 children to be released safely. $5000 will be life-saving aid to help her family get settled in Egypt. It will cover their accommodations, food, and other essentials. $2000 will go for the fees associated with Go Fund Me.”
