Thank you all for the words related to our announcement Gamesbeat As we get out of the venturebeat, it is becoming independent. We cannot think a better way to spend our time compared to serving this industry with our journalism nature and our community-oriented events.
It was amazing and heartbreaking to see our story widely. My own Twitter saw more than 160,000 raids in a few days Diversity Covered our move such as Gina Joseph and I were famous celebrities. On LinkedIn and Facebook, I was happy to see thousands of more expressions of congratulations. We hope that we can use this love that we can take advantage of whatever we see as great opportunities in front of us.
I felt a little bit in Jimmy Stewart it’s a Wonderful LifeFeeling that we were friends. After all, this business of sports journalism is a single road. When I was younger, many of my colleagues got out of business and went to reward some more.
But I think it is blessed to watch very few worldly awards to stay in this game for a long time. One of those awards is that so many people go through a humble beginning life cycle and air in an incredible position-like Jensen Huang, Jason Citron, Phil Spencer, Sara Bond, Regi Files-eyem, Sean Ledan, Mark Sarni, John Carmac, Henk Rogers, Shoo Yoshida, Will Right, Will Right, Will Right, Will Right, Mark, Mark Pinnus, Danny Bilson, John Romero, Frank Azor, Branda Romero, Brian Fargo, Mike Morheim, Johana Ferry, Geoff Keghli, Robert Kirkman, Parin Coupon – and on.
There are also many new creators of Roblox, Fortnite and Minecraft generation. We have benefited many industry veterans from continuously helping their events. I stop quitting the better name, because I feel guilty of leaving people out. The issue is: It has been a pleasure to tell your stories on generations.
We serve you. I have written over 26,000 stories for gamesbits and venturebeat in 17 years, and I am devoted to covering the sports industry as a business and creative art for 27 years on a daily basis. I have covered the technical industry for a long time and enjoyed watching the seam between industries. I often say that I have written 10 stories in a day, and it says how huge and global the sports industry has become – this is a lot of news every day. And I meet new passionate people every day; It is like finding small gems of sea glass on the beach at night with a flashlight.
Games and tech startups often tell me that I was the only one who chose to write about them because they got out of the ground. It sounds like a heavy and growing burden, but I don’t see it in this way. What do I get from talking to all of you over the years – creative developers or an entrepreneur or lover investor – is a unique perspective on gaming business because it becomes global and becomes the major culture of the world. Gaming is not just entertainment culture. This is a global culture, and I am thankful that I am able to travel to the world to meet people in the sports industry.
The only fault in covering the sports business is that I do not get enough time to play the game. I am writing this column near midnight. And this is why I am not the only person here in gamebeat. We have a strong team among people like Mike Minoti, our managing editor and our writer Rachel Saffron in gamebeat. This is a small team, and we want it to be big. But we are an authentic squad.
Rachel and Mike have a nearby knowledge of game and gameplay, as they play much more than me to be done. This is a main value in this business, and means that they bring very abstract authenticity and reliable in the table. I am glad to be able to get out the timely win in call of duty: Warzon Battle Royal or Call of Duty Multiplayer. Sadly, Rachel and Mike I do not like all the games I do. They are not right. But hey, this industry is huge. This includes multitudes.
My focus was to track new trends without staying on any one category of gaming. follow the money. My colleagues in sports journalism – which has been left among us, as well as our readers – keep me the ground in the belief that it is not just the CEO that I need to track.
Game Job Champion Amir Satvat has reminded me with his data on people on the ground floor of trimmed, hires and gaming, which need to be highlight and recognized. Our industry is only transparent to give the information that can help the game developers because they try to break, survive and flourish in the industry. Over time, our attention developed. Follow people.
When I realize that we are just a publication, and the outlets of every living journalism help me highlight this vast business, I find out. It makes me sad that the data of Pengenn shows that the top 135 video game websites published 635,000 articles during the first quarter, 13%below, or more than 100,000 articles compared to the same quarter a year ago. I am not happy that my friends cannot make life in sports journalism. It is as if we are all standing on the wall in game of throne, guard duty and pits by those who think we have the worst jobs.
Our CEO, Jeena Joseph, is only one of those women who are CEOs of a game Journalism Company. She brings a unique perspective and a few decades of media experience to the business side. Jeena has tried to know the sports community and embrace its diversity. And he has done more to enable us to become an independent entity so that we can create our destiny and develop our unique voice in a big corporate media -filled industry.
It has been a hard time for gaming and a difficult time for game media. We are grateful to you that we are still standing. Over 2,902 “press contact” has disappeared from the database of pressgine, in a report cited by Christopher Ding Sports business.
We have survived as a business, or have done well, as we are able to get sponsors for our gamesbet events. David Glass and Kathy Simpson have been important for the success of incidents, from small high-touch dinners to conferences where the crowd can top a thousand people. There are other things that we can try to take advantage of new opportunities and new models.
There are other people in the team that I will not mention this time, but we accept their contribution because we remove this new 17 -year startup from the ground. There are people who are living on venturebeat to cover the terrible story of our time because AI changes the enterprise.
None of us came to be super rich in this journalism. As I saw that other people do this, I knew that living in journalism was not the path of financial glory. But in venturebeat, Matt Marshall gave me a self-directed platform that I wanted for 17 years, and this helped me live for a long race for my children through college and in this business. For that, I am always grateful to mats and venture. It is also a pleasure that seeing my family around my family appreciating the game or industry – or is able to enjoy myself in some other way.
Your story of games and its ethos is actually about individuals. We are not here what the biggest game media companies already do. The stories I felt about doing the best of mourning the legendary Carter Lipscomb of a sports industry, they died earlier this year. It seemed that there was only a story about everyone in the industry to tell about Carter’s bear’s neck and enthusiasm for life.
Now the time has come to leave the nest so that we can do a better job on our purpose; We are here to serve you. We do not only serve traditional purpose journalism. We try for perspective. Unique stories. Thoughtful analysis. A shelter where you put your shield and swords on the door. And a joyful and inspirational community.
At the same time, we need your help. Whatever we do, there is a new opportunity to get better in it. We can benefit from our advice for ourselves. This is the part where we feel that this is our public radio telethon. I know it is easy to sit out and not contribute. Then we wonder where that resource has gone later.
We are not a non -profit, but as an independent company, we need to continue what we do for our community and for the industry. We need your support at many different levels. We will like it if you share our stories or support us with sponsorship. None of this will be possible without the support of our colleagues. So we can increase our team. Send us to your exclusive story tips tips@gamesbeat.com.
We will welcome you to your events where you can get the right networking opportunities to move forward. If you encourage your friends to come, we will like it. Or volunteers. Contact us for event information on events@gamesbeat.com.
This is a difficult and indefinite time, but we can use sponsors for our events, such as our upcoming gamesbet summit 2025 events on May 19-20 in Los Angeles. You can buy your ticket here and we are offering a special 50% as part of our celebration (GBSELEBRAN5BRAN5BRAN5BRAN5BRAN50). Give us messages for sponsors/partnerships on partnership/gamesbeat.com.
I think we will recover together. The most important thing, thanks.
