VIDEO GAMES
Today, Jason is a respected investigative journalist who writes about the business and culture of video games.
He reports on people who make games, people who play games, and people who do incredible things with games.

KOTAKU
Jason was a News Editor at Kotaku, a leading website covering the industry and culture of video games.

His work led to his 2017 bestseller: Blood, Sweat, and Pixels, and in 2021 the follow-up, Press Reset: Ruin and Recovery in the Video Game Industry.
