"I reached out and was greeted with a solid team of approachable guys (read; super friendly likeminded nerds!) In a time of personal insecurity, I was welcomed in with understanding and acceptance; I felt like part of the family in no time."
- Tori Crawford, Content Creator
"Writing for VGamingNews gives me so many opportunities to express myself and share my love of gaming in a supportive and fun environment. It's also afforded me the chance to help offer feedback to other writers, helping them hone their craft and into paid positions in games media, which is just the coolest feeling. If you're looking for a place to get a foot in the door - you couldn't join a more supportive team."
