@jasonschreier.bsky.social Any chance you'd do a book on Rockstar Games GTAVI development. Would love to read what you'd unpack with that undertaking.

I wonder if Jason Schreier (Mr. One Take) is going to or thinking about doing a book on Rockstar Games. I would love to read about the development of #GTAVI

Just a random Tuesday thought.

I last wrote about the top remaining titles to look forward to in 2026 (not #GTAVI), so now I'm looking back at my current backlog and figuring out what I can hopefully fit into the rest of the year.

Sept 2026: Checking In On My Backlog
If you think there’s nothing to play, that means you haven’t done a great job cultivating your backlog. Here’s what is sitting at the top of my radar when I can find some time.

There's a lot of gaming left in 2026. While everyone may be thinking about #GTAVI, these are three titles that I have my eye on before the year ends:

There’s more than one title left for 2026
Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t the only important title left in 2026. Fans are keeping their eyes on these titles and several others as the year comes to a close.

If you watch this interview, right around minute 19 you can see Chris’s face go to “WTF” but he caught himself. #Gaming #Games #VideoGames
"I apologised... we admitted to staff that this was crunch."

Wardogs studio CEO Joe Brammer has issued a new statement to Eurogamer, after backlash to saying his studio won't hire people who "constantly tweet anti-crunch messaging"

It was all “Win With Black Women”, “Listen to Black Women”, until now.

People are too afraid to have any targeted programs, least they be accused of DEI by the rabid right-wing.

The best targeted program may be for Black women to leave the U.S. for a better life.
Black women unemployment has surpassed that of Black men.

I’m not seeing any targeted programs or policies to address this.

We really need to take back our autonomy and agency when we talk about the gaming industry.

These CEOs are mad comfortable saying and doing idiotic things these days & my question is:

When are we gonna hold them accountable?

What happens if every single person just.. stopped work?

Hey, about three months later I am still looking for work. I have done senior level work, I’m comfortable owning zones, writing cutscenes, and environmental narrative.

Open to working in other mediums as well.
If anyone is looking to hire a Peabody and BAFTA winning senior writer, I am looking for work. I’ve got six years experience in games. Everything from indie to AAA. I am not married to staying in games.

I am hoping to relocate to the Bay Area. I am keeping my ears to the ground.
