I infiltrated Voat to help me write dialogue for a popular videogame called Far Cry 5 and later Phuks to help get material for it's follow up New Dawn. AMA.

I was basically one of the writers of all those paper notes you find stashed in all sorts of places around the game world. In the first game my task was to do research on government conspiracy theories and prepping which was a big theme of the game. I found my way to Reddit and there discovered the conspiracy community had mostly moved onto Voat. I was able to gather so much material there that I was able to impress the lead writer and they convinced the higher ups to remove the job hiring listing and make me the lead on the note writing. I may be bragging a little but this I think changed the tone of the game a lot before it was released and me and the lead writer spent many a night on Voat and later the Chans and it became a bit of a ritual for us, so much so that we found it hard to stop visiting the site once the game was released. Then they called us into a meeting and pitched the basic concept of New Dawn to us. This was to be a direct sequel to the first game but 17 years on. So i need to research millennials and that's what bought me here. Now before you think you might lose me forever, hold on, because while I can't say too much about the next project, the main protagonist in that game will be likely be a gay transvestite, so I may stick around for a while because I think this place has the highest gay transvestite population on the web right now. :)
