Question to games journalists, publishers, show runners, and B2B folks: Are trailers still the best way for you to get a quick look at a game to decide whether you want to learn more about it? Or are TikToks and shorts something you’d rather see in say, a pitch email? (Researching for a video)

To any editors that follow me: I am looking for writing work! I would love longer work, obviously, but I am opening myself up for shorter work as well-- back up, single issue, etc. Quick turnover right now in particular

Remember when Hollywood was bloated in the late 60s and teetering on destruction, how Black directors were making dope, empowering films which revived movies. And then they were like what if white people directed these films? And ultimately what if these films just went away?
