“Intriguing, hopeful, and sometimes darkly funny.”
–The Verge“A must-read… Schreier’s reporting is unparalleled.”–Forbes“Meticulously researched and briskly presented.”–The AV Club“Schreier writes lucidly and entertainingly. For neophytes, PRESS RESET is a useful introduction to the business of videogames. For those who play… the book may prove compulsively readable.”–Wall Street Journal“Brilliant [as a] detective’s massive corkboard, covered in names and pieces of string… Entertaining, educational, and breezy. Highly recommended.”
–Ars Technica“An informed, well-balanced report on the video game industry’s passions and pitfalls.”
–Kirkus“This standout book will appeal to readers of Kotaku, Polygon, and IGN, as well as viewers of NoClip’s YouTube documentaries. Beyond gamers, this well-researched account will also interest labor advocates.”
