Young and restless
Matt joined RPS a little under three years ago, and he’s become part of the furniture since.
We hired him primarily so he could fill our pages with words about multiplayer games, and he’s done that most directly withPlaystyle Royale, his irregular diary series in which he plays battle royale games with his own made-up rules. For example, playing PUBGbut only being allowed to use grenades.
Matt also became our go-to for multiplayer reviews, as per hisrecent take on Valorant. He’s our man in love with cards, takingon Legends Of Runeterraandevangelising Monster Train at every opportunity.
He is also very funny, although like most actually funny people he doesn’t insist upon telling you that. Just look at hislive coverage of E3 last year, orhis love of mushroom men, or how gleefully he leapt intothe role of supervillain in our Space Engineers adventures.
His work has touched every part of the site. He took overour long-running Sunday Papers column with flair, wrote asupporter postevery week (most ofwhich were about philosophy- only visible to supporters, soz), andexplored the future of AI.
We made fun of Matt when he joined for being so young, but only because we all felt so old. He has written since day one with skill and expertise, and the work linked above is just the whiskers of an impressive body of work.
Alas, Matt’s body is now old and infirm, and he is retiring to warmer climates. If we can pull him back in for an occasional, freelance, one-last-mission, then we will.
