Featured Comments

The Author, Jason Schreier, has a lot of contacts and posts regularly on Kotaku. It's worth reading his posts, especially regarding Blizzard, where he has contacts that provide greater insight.

I read his book after reading some of his articles and found the book a great read and provides insight into the gaming industry. Not as glamorous as I once thought. But the book is definitely worth reading/buying!

I wish I could get the physical book for this price. I have a shelf of video game books that really needs this on it.

Bought physical copy when it was released, Good read and I believe he covered how unforgiving the game development industry before the floodgates were open late last year. Also a good story about cancellation of Star Wars 1313 (if you did not see the trailer, check it out).

This is a really good read. I highly recommend it. I found the Stardew Valley chapter most interesting. Jason has also said he is in the middle of writing his next book.
