The natural continuation of Jason Schreier' s bestselling book, PRESS RESET examines the volatility of the video game industry and the resilience of the people who work in it. The business of videogames is both a prestige industry and a very opaque one. Based on dozens of firsthand interviews and covering the development of landmark games including Bioshock: Infinite, Epic Mickey, Dead Space, and more, and through the studios' shocking closures, this book will tell the stories of how real people are affected by game studio shutdowns -- and how and if they recover. Jason Schreier has made a name for himself as gaming' s preeminent investigative journalist. In PRESS RESET, through countless of insider interviews that cover hostile takeovers, abusive bosses, corporate drama, bounced checks, and that one time the Boston Red Sox' s Curt Schilling decided he was going to lead a game studio that would take out World of Warcraft, Schreier covers not only why video games are so hard to make, he explores why it' s so hard to make a living making games in the first place.
"Jason Schreier is a huge fan of video games, and his enthusiasm is contagious. "--Booklist "My only complaint about Blood, Sweat, and Pixels is that there wasn' t more to read. "--Forbes "Schreier covers the notoriously secretive gaming industry [and] knows it well. "--GQ
