Substacks recommended by Harrison Polites

Recommended by Harrison Polites

A weekly newsletter where I share news and rumours about Game Development, exciting games across different platforms (sometimes even movies), and my amazing journey as a freshly minted Creator, Producer, and Software Tester!

Alex produces two excellent news wraps each week. They keep me across the industry's news, and he does a good job of picking up on things other miss.

Game File

By Stephen Totilo

The business and culture of video games, from a reporter with 20 years on the beat.

I loved Stephen's work on Axios -- legitimising gaming in a business context. He's now taken this and started his own SubStack, which has grown to over 10,000 subs in less than a year. Worth a follow.
