Content Creators,
I'm crafting a list of creators who own a VR headset (and would be interested in creating VR content) for future activations.
Reply to this tweet if you'd like to be added to said list and we'll be in contact should opportunities arise.
Please RT!
The HD2 team has been nothing short of amazing to the community. This likely isn't in their hands. Be fair to them.
Don't throw a tantrum, don't change your review, don't request a refund after hundreds of hours.
Be reasonable and communicative.
Fucking sitting here in tears.
Jesus, stop yelling at us and telling us how bad we are - I work in marketing and I'm being blasted.
I can't even imagine how hard our team is working to bring you the experience you want.
I am happy to announce that today is my first day as the Influencer Relations Manager at
@SquareEnix
America!
I am excited to continue to work alongside such amazing creators on all platforms in my new role.
Be sure to keep an eye here for any future opportunities!

Across tiktok, fans of Halo, Warframe, Doom, Titanfall, and more are posting videos with one message...
"Mourn your Commander, Guardians. We'll hold the front line for you."
And... I am sobbing seeing the gaming community come together to support one another.
PUT EMPLOYEES WHO LEAVE BEFORE LAUNCH IN THE CREDITS.
Holy shit, stop acting like they didn't exist because they were gone before launch, but put years into a game.
@Qwik
Mike, I know you're writing this from a place of good intentions, but read the room my guy.
Historically successful studios are being shut down and people are losing their jobs to inflate the bottom line and make shareholders happy.
Who cares if Phil hurts - he still has a job.
Hot Take:
Destiny 1, as a whole, was never as good as Destiny 2 has been. TTK and VoG, yes - but for the most part, we're looking at D1 through rose-tinted glasses.
Thanks to Bungie - we have TEN Follow the Light emblems to give away!
5 will be given away here on Twitter by 2/25 - just make sure to Follow, RT, and Like this tweet.
The other 5 will be given away ON STREAM this week as we play through Witch Queen:
We’re incredibly excited to announce that

#DeathStrandingPC
7 years ago, I was working for Enterprise Rent a Car.
5 years ago, I was working in software sales
3 years ago, I was a director of sales at a startup
Today, I helped launch one of the most anticipated titles in a LONG time.
Never give up on your dreams, each journey is unique.
It's not just Blizzard. The whole industry is rife with these problems, and there's a good chance the place that makes your favorite games has similar issues that haven't come out yet.
We have to do better.
This came out in a very deep conversation on stream tonight, and I want to share it so that it comes from me.
10 years ago I came out to my IRL friends - tonight many of you hear this for the first time...
My name is Slate, and I'm a pansexual man. 🏳️🌈🌈
Creators,
If you're sharing the leaks, expect your relationships with companies and brands to go away.
Personally, I'm going to make a list of and block folks who share them.
Cheers,
Nel
(NA/LATAM) Content Creators,
Are you into action-adventure games?
Co-op gameplay w/ dynamic gear and cosmetics?
What about Super Heroes?
GOOD!

As someone that works in marketing, it wasn't placeholder text. You fully intended to profit off of others' work.
Otherwise you wouldn't have gone through the trouble of subtle layout changes, as well as changing the names on the reviews you lifted.
Content Creators,
Are you into the bizarre, the otherworldly, the unknown?
Do telekinesis and dimensional shifts interest you?
Yes? Then do you want to feature
@ControlRemedy
on your channel?
Reply here with your channel link and email address for consideration.
Dearest Bungie,
What's the point of the Postmaster if I can't mail out?
Why can't I mail Failsafe their dang Infinite Forest Cake? That'd be much more efficient than going to Nessus.

Liquor Store cashier: "Do you work at Square Enix."
Me: *looks down and realize I'm wearing an SE shirt, hoodie, and mask* - "oh um... yeah"
Cashier: "That's cool, I dont like any of y'alls games."
The harassment Bungie's devs have received on social media doesn't just impact comms about Destiny.
Other devs have noticed and social strategies are changing to lessen outward communication to avoid harassment.
The constant toxicity has ramifications beyond Destiny, btw.
Don't EVER think that your channel is too small to create content to raise money for charity.
I average 15, or less, viewers and we just raised $5,048 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Prepare adequately and spread the word - you can do this. Everyone can do this!
YouTubers / Twitch & Mixer Streamers,
Do you like Metroidvanias?
Are you a fan of Koji Igarashi and his previous work?
Then

Content Creators!
Are you a fan of RPGs?
Do you love platformers?
Are you interested in a game that combines the two with a unique combat system?
Then
@IndivisibleRPG
is the game for you!
Reply w/ your channel / email. Also, an Arsenal campaign will go live on launch day.
My biggest takeaway from the TWAB today?
Unlike other MMOs (let's not argue that Destiny is or isn't one) - Bungie's not punishing you for taking a break.
Instead, the power level reset is a welcome change to new content drops, inviting everyone back with open arms.

The first gay man I ever outted myself to forced me to go further than I wanted to, to "prove I was really gay."
I'm not ready to tell the full story, but being sexually assaulted has followed me for over a decade.
My last day at Square Enix is July 27th. I am so grateful for the experience(s) I gained and had during my time at SE.
I know, for a fact, that I am better at Influencer Relations because of my time at Square.
I think Lance Reddick's death hit some of us hard, because it was like losing the voice of a friend, the voice of a mentor.
Zavala has been our beacon of good for 9 years. He's been our guiding light. He's been the vanguard for ALL of us.
So, me getting trolled and insulted on the internet is nothing compared to that hate and violence our AAPI neighbors are experiencing.
Donate now to help stop AAPI hate and violence, thanks:
Today - my dream comes true.
25 years ago, I fell in love with Hero known as "Cap" and wanted to be him. Little did I know that my passion and desire to work in video games would lead me here.
I am BEYOND honored to have my name included in

"So is
#Outriders
like Destiny or Division or Diablo? A looter shooter?"
No. Outriders is like Outriders. It's a unique experience within the genre that encompasses Diablo and Destiny.
Not every game HAS to be compare to something else. We can have new ideas in existing genres.
@DarentzConstant
They signed up for Twitch Rivals - a live broadcast of World's First.
Don't stream, don't sign up, if you don't wanna share your screen.
I straight told my dad that I'm no longer his son, and he'll never have a place in my life because of his unwavering loyalty to DT - and some of you can't be bothered to say racism and insurrection are bad.
Pro Tip
Expand beyond your streaming platform and Twitter.
Make a YouTube. Go hard on Instagram. Be the best meme you can be on TikTok
You're only hurting your potential when do the bare minimum
Layoffs are a result of poor management. So, instead of laying off the teams, remove those that lead to these personnel decisions.
The long term effects of this level of poor management will only lead to more layoffs.
DING! Leveled up.
Stoked to join the Ayzenberg family as the Sr. Manager, Influencer and Content Partnerships for ION!
I'm so excited for this new step in my career, and look forward to continuing to work with creators along the way!
I've always looked better in blue.
Excited to announce the next step in my content creation journey as a
@FacebookGaming
Partner.
I'll see you on December 4th at 6pm CST for our first stream.
Streamers,
Make sure your streams are being saved as VODs. You can turn this on Twitch and Mixer in you dashboard.
It allows PR/Marketing folks, like myself, to get an idea of your content. If I don't know what type of content you create, I don't know if you're fit for a game.
"Money can't buy happiness"
Dude, literally all of my problems could be solved by an extra $2,000 in account... that's it. Would get back on track with credit card payments, put food in my fridge, help me find a home with my partner.
Money is the source of my anxiety.
Please remember that if you're a creator, your Twitter is a part of your resume.
Keep that in mind when you're replying to tweets from someone who will have opportunities in the future.
Yes that was me. Yes I was yelling.
I've worked so hard to make this night a reality. It was a dream come true.
I wouldn't be where I am today without Bethesda and all their games. I teared up more than once tonight. Thank you

I'm seriously crying over here.
Holy fucking shit - this is just so awesome to see so many people SO EXCITED for a game that I have my name in the credits.
Honestly, there's nothing that can convince me that D2 PVP isn't abandoned at this point.
I've been in dev for a decade now and have never seen an entire segment of a game and its community so neglected.
In Dec 2021, I set a phone alert for 18 months later.
I’ve been patient & supportive,
but Bungie has not only failed to deliver on their promise to veteran PvP players of a rewarding sandbox akin to 30th Anniversary, they’ve made a pattern of decisions completely counter to it.
TSA Agent - "Are you a Mixer streamer?" (Wearing my hoodie)
Me - "Sure am!"
TSA Agent - "OMG DO YOU KNOW NINJA AND SHROUD? I watch them like all the time. Really the only reason I'm ever on Mixer."
Me - "Nah, I don't."
Him - "Oh... well, ID and boarding pass."
Thank you ALL for all the kind words, the defense, and the general love from my tweet earlier.
I let a few bad eggs get to me. Your love and support will ALWAYS mean the world to me.
Let's just enjoy our time on Enoch, okay?
This is a standard practice across the industry. Steam reviews drive sales, and engaging with them helps convert negative reviews to positive - and help new players understand the devs care.
You're just now paying attention and for some reason... weirded out about it?
Bethesda is responding to negative Starfield reviews on Steam. Absolutely bizarre if you ask me and despite media attention this hasn't stopped, the last response is from today
So many dudes retorting with "but it's how the dev intended to be played."
Sure that may be true in SOME cases - but most devs specifically want EVERYONE to have a chance to play their game. Options exist *for a reason*

A year ago today, I achieved my dreams, my actual dream of working for Square Enix.
I can't thank you all enough for supporting me on this journey.

Unifying accounts on a Sony owned IP isn't shady.
EA does it. Xbox does it. Ubisoft does it. Twitch does it.
AND... the kicker to all of this... it was on the steam page, day 1 and you were prompted to link upon launch.
Excited to announce I've joined the amazing team at
@AspyrMedia

I'm absolutely thrilled to be able to work on such a diverse catalogue and alongside a fantastic community. I'll also still be working with creators!

I am officially mad at EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. YOU.
Why didn't a single one of you YELL at me to play Kingdom Hearts? Huh? Sure I had some "you should play it," but no one yelled at me to play it.
Y'all, I love it... I love it so much. It's Disney perfection.
So, I've noticed quite a few content creators giving

a go for the first time.
Maybe we can use this tweet to make some connections for y'all!
Reply to this tweet with if you're a new or a vet FFXIV content creator. (Extra points: listing what you do/want to do in game!)
We were met with militarized police, the national guard, tear gas, and rubber bullets for sitting and chanting in June.
An attempted coup of the United States of America and a breach of it's gov't buildings is being met with bike racks and light shoving.
Streamers, if you're playing games with other streamers - PLEASE mute yourself when you're talking to your chat.
As a viewer, I even get annoyed hearing someone in voice chat yelling at their own chat.

Thank you for sticking by my side on this journey. I love you, friends.
Please, please don't be a stranger because of this. Let's still play games together - I just won't be live all the time as I have been in the past.
This week marks 5 years since I made my account on Twitch.
5 years since I became a viewer that became a streamer that became an industry professional. 5 years of chasing my dream because I saw an in.
I've taken every risk possible, and it's paid off.
Never stop chasing.
I've worked with Jirard on multiple titles, and can assure you the coverage of your game will be top notch.
Add him to your early code list. This is both advice and a vouch. He's one of the best.
Hey media friends - if you have any relationships at gaming companies for media coverage and what not - I would greatly appreciate spreading the word out there to help me out with game codes. Id love to cover games more on time, but I always get codes post launch or not at all.
Let's do this now!

I talked to MamaNel for like 30 minutes tonight.
She said the internet should stop being mean, and be proud of her baby for kicking ass on launch.
Also, she loves those of you that put kindness first.
New Streamers,
Let's address a few things:
Follow4Follow or Lurk4Lurk doesn't work. It's artificial engagement and growth, that leads no where.
#SupportSmallStreamers
instantly draws the ire of most of the industry, don't use it.
Looks like I'm joining the growing list of games industry professionals that have been laid off.
If you're looking for someone with 8+ years in Ifluencer Marketing, Community Manage, Product Marketing, and Project Management - please let me know.
Quick reminder with E3 season basically starting:
Don't crap on people's hype. If you don't care about a game or a company, you don't need to voice that in a see of hype to stand out - that just makes you look petty and bitter.
Let people enjoy things, please.
I'm giving away a copy of The Final Shape for Steam!
