"Who is GB hiring" is the pizzagate of this thread, where obsessives take minor "clues" and expand them through absurd logical contortions into near certain conclusions that happen to match whatever wishful fantasy they have in their head.

Only way the Switch could compete is if they released P4 Golden on it as launch title. This way it's just around the same time.

Shes probably going to do video game work, like consultant or artist or something that isn't marketing.

This would not be surprising. I don't know if Mary's ever actually acknowledged the realities of being a Pretty Girl in games but jesus christ is every comments section for her content a complete nightmare, it's probably real tempting to stop being so public.

Yeah, you know what, gently caress it, next week is the first release in a chain of PS4 games I want to play that would keep me occupied until May, let alone the 2016 backlog I still have to catch up on. This is just Switch-induced FOMO and Nintendo's not going to get me

yeah I mean the dream lineup of Yakuza 0 -> Persona 5 -> Yakuza Kiwami brings you to like October, easy!

I mean logically?

She's staying in San Francisco. She's going to finish the RE series, and it sounds like she's doing so in person. That prevents moving.

She's taking a job that will allow her to still do reviews for games. It's still in the games review industry.

She mentioned a boss. This takes out patreon/self run.

So looking at the SF scene we have IGN, Gamespot, and Giantbomb.

Looking at globally, in the form of work at home sites we have Waypoint and Polygon as the big two.

She's a video editor with some light on screen presence. Most of her talents would be wasted at Waypoint or Polygon, because what's the point in hiring a video editor that can't actually do your video production. She's never been a huge article person, more of an on camera/behind camera presence. This largely cuts out Polygon/Waypoint ( especially since Waypoint seems to be fully staffed right now/is still recently staffed and probably doesn't have the budget to start expanding like that in the new year. They have other priorities. ), though who knows the world is crazy sometimes.

It could be IGN but I doubt it. IGN wouldn't offer her a higher wage, and IGN isn't a dream job for anybody. It'd be on par with Gamespot, and why leave what you know for likely the same numbers.

So that leaves GB. Or perhaps an indie site that I wouldn't know about, Mary has always been a big fan of indie games/focusing on indie games. Or Austin/Polygon deciding to hire Mary to write longform thought articles off of ????.

It's also kind of suspicious that everyone in the industry is congratulating her, except the GB guys. Even Drew is radio silent, despite having been on twitter for the last hour or so. That's.....oddly rude.

You are an insane human being.

e: Jeff and Danny's thoughts on the Switch pretty much sum up how I'm feeling.

The tears of time
Underworld (the first one. I haven't seen the others) sucked so bad. You make a movie about vampires fighting werewolves and then every action scene is just them shooting at each other with handguns. Also, why does the lycan dude have foldable steel claws hidden in his sleeves? He's a gosh darned werewolf.
