About

Hi, I’m Matt Leone. I write and produce stories, books, and documentaries about the video game industry then recap that work here. I used to work at 1UP and Polygon, and I’m currently figuring out what’s next.

I treat this site like liner notes for projects I work on — as in, that photo of me was a test shot to check the lighting for a Tetsuya Nomura portrait at Square Enix’s E3 booth in 2015. If you understood the nouns in that sentence, you’re in the right place.
