Session: GAMER NATION: A GLOBAL MASS MARKET EMERGES

George Jones is a lifelong gamer and an 18-year veteran of the video game industry. His first gaming-related job was as an editor at Computer Gaming World in 1994. Since then, he’s launched gaming sites for CNET, run Maximum PC, established an indie game publishing label for GamePro, and worked as a video game consultant.

Eager to work in the realm of collaborative publishing, and to work with gamers across all platforms and genres, Jones joined Wikia as Director of Programming for its Games/Action channel. He happily spends his days marveling at the depth and breadth of content Wikia’s 50,000 gaming communities come up with on a daily basis.
