Hi! I'm Jason Schreier, an author and journalist who's been covering the world of video games for 12 years now. I'm a reporter at Bloomberg News, a podcaster at the Triple Click Podcast, and the author of Blood, Sweat, and Pixels, a book about how games are made. My new book, Press Reset: Ruin and Recovery in the Video Game Industry, comes out tomorrow (May 11). It's a book about what happens to people when studios shut down, based on firsthand interviews with dozens of developers. It includes studio closure stories such as Irrational (BioShock), Visceral (Dead Space), and Junction Point (Epic Mickey) and is full of colorful personalities like Curt Schilling and Warren Spector. It's a bleak but optimistic book that tackles some of the video game industry's biggest problems and presents some potential solutions.
I'm very proud of the book and think it will resonate with most ResetEra readers. So hey here we go - ask me anything!
