Press Reset: Ruin and Recovery in the Video Game Industry by Jason Schreier
This is the untold story of what happens when a dream studio shuts down.
In Press Reset, award-winning journalist Jason Schreier returns with a searing investigation behind the curtain of game development. He chronicles the rise and collapse of studios like Irrational Games, 2K Marin, and Visceral—teams that created beloved titles like BioShock Infinite, Epic Mickey, and Dead Space—only to see their careers shattered by sudden closures and mass layoffs.
Through intimate, real-world accounts from developers who lived through the chaos, Schreier reveals how success does not guarantee stability. He explores why even celebrated projects can’t save a studio, and asks whether an industry that discards talent so ruthlessly deserves a second chance.
This is not a fairy tale. It’s a clear-eyed look at the brutal economics of making games—and the people fighting to rebuild their lives.
“After reading this, you’ll wonder how any game gets made at all.” — Vadim Yelistratov, DTF
