About Me

Journalist, Editor, Public Relations, Marketing, Comms, Community Management, Mentor…

Here’s my best elevator pitch about myself. My name is Arthur Collins. I’ve spent my entire adult life networking, advocating, and helping shape the video game industry when I could. I want to continue that path to build from the constant razing of the industry that I grew up loving and eventually became part of.

Starting in 2007, I created a blog and forum, We The Gamers, dedicated to showing that video games didn’t cause violence in a world constantly told that it did. From there, I met some very important people in the games industry who helped shape the next decade and a half of my life. I want to help teach and mentor those who are in my old shoes and need a path forward.
