I feel quite strongly that chairmen of video game companies should not wear suits with a little silk handkerchief tucked into the pocket. Chairmen of video game companies should have long hair and wear hoodies. They should ideally ride a skateboard. This is where we're going wrong.

The very content creators who accuse IGN [...] of misusing their influence are the real tastemakers of the modern era; they shape the conversation around new games—often via misinformation and ragebait, which more reliably drives engagement on social media than discussing games on their own terms 👇

I still think about Iris and Leo. I can't wait to see what's in the next game. 👇
