When it comes to the video game industry, social media has enormous upside, but the reality on the ground is far different. Today, I want to tell you the stories of online harassment on social media from the perspective of a video game developer, a games journalist, and through my own lens dealing with a serial harasser. In short: No one deserves to be treated like this, especially in our industry, and we all need to do much more to combat it.

PlayStation Experience 2017 is right around the corner, and while it doesn’t have a press conference per se, some announcements should still come out of the show.

Video games and the consoles and PCs that play them have never, ever been cheaper, while everything else around us -- from food to housing to education -- has skyrocketed in cost. How can video games continue to stagnate in price when growing development teams take increasing amounts of time crafting deeper, longer, and more engaging titles, with better and better production value to boot? And how we can rectify the inevitable price hikes that are approaching when just about everything requires more money these days?
