'There Are So Few Of Us Left': Even Full-Time Games Journalists At Big Websites Are Feeling It In 2025 - Aftermath

'I give myself 1-3 years before I'm working in PR or Home Depot'

Hi friends,

I'm still here, looking for a day job, but amidst the state of video games journalism, I decided to start my own website - GameOni.gg. I'm hoping to mix the hard news that's been going around lately with some soft news, but today's Riot news is unfortunately when I'm announcing this site to the public:

https://gameoni.gg/2024/10/15/riot-games-reduces-headcount-to-save-money-promises-its-not-about-reducing-headcount-to-save-money/

If you or someone you know was affected by the Riot layoffs, or any other layoffs, and wants to talk, please feel free to send them my way. Wishing those affected nothing but the best.
