We are so excited to share a weekend full of fun as we hit our 2 year anniversary! We have a list of updates and everyday will be different starting Friday! Thank you to everyone with watching, participating, and liking what we are doing in the space❤️
Every person we talk to has a different path into gaming and esports.
That’s what makes @BehindJoystick so fun — there’s no single “right” way to build a career in this industry.
What’s a career path you’d love for us to explore?
What’s one job in gaming/esports that you think people don’t realize exists? 👀
There’s WAY more to the industry than being a pro player or streamer.
What career path would you want to hear someone talk about on Behind the Joystick?
🎙️NEW EPISODE🎮

Is the video game industry really heading toward a massive financial problem? 🤔 🎮 youtu.be/-RzLwOBV3xw
🎙️ This week on the Boss Rush Podcast, Corey Dirrig, LeRon Dawkins, and special guest CGDannyB discuss former PlayStation executive Shawn Layden’s stark warning about ballooning AAA game budgets, and why mid-budget "double-A" games might be the savior the industry desperately needs.
⛴️ Next, they dive into the shocking turnaround at Krafton, as Subnautica 2 clears 5 million copies despite severe behind-the-scenes drama, paving the way for a massive deep-sea franchise.
🧟♂️ Finally, they talk about Capcom’s unstoppable financial streak, analyzing huge sales numbers for brand-new IP Pragmata alongside monster hits from the Resident Evil franchise.
▶️ This and more on the Boss Rush Podcast, part of the Boss Rush Network!
