Thanks to Jason Schreier for showing up and taking questions! His latest book is about what happens when game developers get laid off, shuffled around, or retire after a project is shipped or cancelled. Learn more about what many game developers fear between projects and some potential solutions:

00:03:02 What are the challenges of getting people to do interviews about more painful issues?
00:09:51 Do you see yourself as opening the door for more game journalists in the future?
00:12:31 Are companies like Bethesda, who blacklist "adversarial" game journalists, going to have to adjust in the future?
00:17:48 Does an "adversarial reporter" still need to be on a game company's "whitelist" to do their stories?
00:23:35 Why do the books seem written for a more general audience than your online content?
00:28:08 Are gaming execs really as candid about tax avoidance as they are in the books?
00:29:47 What is the internal dev response to your reporting?
00:34:23 Do you feel a moral responsibility to tell these stories, or is it a personal interest?

00:00:00 Intro
00:08:19 Why aren't there more photography games?
00:17:26 Why call a photography game a "first person shooter?"
00:19:04 The Marlboro Marine: https://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/713d119/2147483647/strip/true/crop/498x280+1+0/resize/1200x675!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fdb%2F21%2Fe1a60b2e5bbd3c56cb1ccc987b16%2Fla-na-marlboromarine-span-day-one-jpb
00:25:20 Did you go to school for journalism? Did that inspire the idea of Umurangi?
00:29:27 Did it start off as more dry "photography sim?" When did it get angrier?
00:32:27 (Back from bathroom break)
00:37:22 How did you handle negative emotions while having to working on a productive project?
00:38:54 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_nuclear_tests_at_Maralinga
00:44:42 Coping mechanisms while working on a personally distressing project?
01:05:29 Is Umurangi supposed to end on a downer? Is it possible to flip the intended message to a more positive one?
01:12:33 Did a lot of players miss Umurangi's political side? How many heads did it whoosh over?
01:17:07 You used to be a YouTuber, right? Why are your videos down, and what do you think of the platform since?
