Public Beta: Go Time for GameSkinny

Here’s what we know:

• No one knows games as well as the players who love them;
• Lots of gamers start blogs and video channels to share their interests and know-how;
• Without marketing, SEO and PR most of those blogs and videos never reach the audience that would love them;
• Lacking an engaged audience, people just stop making things!

How depressing is that? I’ve been through it myself, and can tell you there’s nothing to encourage a person quite like an audience, and that nothing discourages quite like the absence of one.

GameSkinny closes the chasm between the people making great stuff, and the audience that’s been missing out on it.

How does GameSkinny work?

On the surface GameSkinny is a bright, fresh news site, with a sleek, responsive design. (Have you seen it on your mobile phone or tablet yet? Sometimes I just hug my iPad when the site loads.)

Ahem.

Under that shiny exterior lies the beating heart of GameSkinny: You.

Whether you love games and want to share your interests through articles, videos, podcasts and images, or you are hungry for information from people who actually play and actually care about the games that you are interested in, GameSkinny is here to help you do what you do.

Thank you to all the developers, designers, team members and contributors who have gotten GameSkinny to this day. It’s been a fantastic ride so far, and I can’t wait to see what’s next as we push forward!
