An Unlosing update

Just wanted to send a note to let subscribers know that I've accepted a job offer and as a result I only expect to be making sporadic posts here for the foreseeable future.

While I'm excited for this new opportunity, it's a little bittersweet because it's not in games journalism. I always said I would be happy to buck the odds and be perhaps the first games journalist to reach retirement without jumping ship to development, marketing, opening up a consultancy, or what have you. But the situation in games journalism is dire, with the too-small number of outlets and staff positions in the field continuing to evaporate on a regular basis.

With games journalism opportunities few and far between, I considered all manner of other roles. Looking at the positions I was applying for – and the ones that made me think "I hope I get that" as opposed to merely "I guess I could do that..." – it quickly became clear that it was more important for me to stay in journalism than to stay in games. So that's where I focused my efforts, and that's where my next role will be.

Thank you to everyone who supported this site with subscriptions and tips. It means the world to me that you were willing to help out. With the output on the site slowing down, I'll be cancelling the paid subscriptions this week.

I'm not sure what else to say here, so I'll let this NPC from Deception wrap it up for me.
