Growing up as a queer child in Mississippi, I got my Nintendo in 1985, and I've been lost in this world ever since. When I was scared because my church said people like me were going to burn in hell, 'Final Fantasy,' 'Dragon Warrior' and 'Super Mario' offered a lifeboat.

Most members of Gamergate, the alt-right movement best known for harassing women in the game industry, operate under a veil of anonymity.

Gamergate gave birth to a new kind of celebrity troll, men who made money and built their careers by destroying women's reputations.

Ordinarily, I develop videogames with female characters that aren't girlfriends, bimbos and sidekicks.

Not everything is about money.

Regional currencies will prove the best route to reconciling the economic imperatives of increasing international capital mobility with the political realities of the nation-state.

A lot of us players, if you were to ask them, feel like they have to play overseas. Why? 'Why not? Might as well do it while I can.' For a while, I felt that way - I've got to make the most money that I can. Now, do I feel like I could still play overseas? Absolutely. But I don't feel that pressure anymore.

But all the money in the world cannot make you happy either, so there has to be a balance.
