I only wish my two books on the Xbox business generated as much attention as the Cuphead story. The only stories that I’ve written which have generated more traffic are a tips guide I wrote for Until Dawn, and a 7,000-word investigative story about the defects in the Xbox 360 game console. Now I have one, thanks to my penchant for oversharing. I’ve been vain enough to wish for a big audience for my stories or social posts. If you are angry about this video, I apologize to you. I unintentionally created my own tweet storm. My Cuphead gameplay video from Gamescom blew up, inspired rage, and spurred discussions about the death of game journalism across Reddit, YouTube, and Twitter.
My game crime: I was so bad at playing I was deemed unfit to be a game journalist. You may have heard that I failed miserably in playing a demo of Cuphead, and the video I posted mocking myself has gone viral on the internet. Are you looking to showcase your brand in front of the brightest minds of the gaming industry? Consider getting a custom GamesBeat sponsorship.
