ABOUT ME
Changing the Industry
I'm an up and coming game designer and business analyst. Video games have been a passion of mine my entire life, I believe that the Triple-A industry needs more consumer-focused developers to be able to give the people what they want in a game. After all, if a game isn't what you want it to be, why buy it?
