Before I go, though, I wanted to check in about this whole “news” concept that’s doing the rounds. The past two weeks have essentially been an exercise in tentatively pressing buttons and apologising to Katharine when half the website backend catches fire. I’ve tried to put together a fun mixture of stories - I particularly enjoyed the chat belowyesterday’s musings about pacifism- but I’ve mostly been settling in, and dealing with such evergreen journamalism questions as whether companies are singular or plural, and what proportion of any given article should consist of begging Blackbird Interactive to reveal something else aboutHomeworld 3.
It’s not till today that the RPS editors have had a chance to gather together (think of the opening scene from Macbeth) and discuss what the site’s approach to news-gathering should be. What specifically should we cover, and how should we go about it? There are some obvious broad directions we’d like to take: more original, interview-led reporting; more posts about unusual, or undiscovered games; good quality editorial on current events. But above all, we’d like to hear from you.
Anyway, the mountain calls and I must away. Stay safe! I’ll see you all on the other side of Gamescom.
