Welp. Starting in November, I will no longer be employed by IGN. It's been a hell of a ride and I cannot understate how much of an honor and a privilege the last 11+ years have been. This was a dream job, but the best part of IGN is, was, and always will be the people.

Insane that Ziff Davis has the biggest site in the field at its disposal and still manages to fuck it up.

The fun of journalism as a whole right now — not just games — is that everybody is starved for work so execs can get away with underpaying freelancers. That's how content mills like Valnet stay in business. Then those freelancers will be laid off and others will take their place at lower pay
Yes its fundamentally stupid for IGN to layoff senior staff before the biggest video game in our lifetimes drop.
It's not stupid tho if you're an exec who thinks they can fill that gap with the legion of hungry freelancers with no where to go

Like the statement reads, I am no longer going to be associated with Six One Indie.

As a result, none of the founders and original Six One crew will be a part of any future productions.
