![]() ![]() Genuine Fraud starts at chapter 18 and works its way backwards to chapter 1. But once I started reading, I found myself completely engrossed in the story and desperate to find out what happened next (or before, I guess is more accurate?). Lockhart, I wasn’t really sure that I was going to be able to get into the book – mostly because I didn’t have as great of a relationship with We Were Liars as so many others, and partly because I thought the way that it went backwards in the book’s timeline instead of forward was kind of weird. When I first started reading Genuine Fraud by E. This review is going to be shorter than a lot of others that I write, but it’s not because I didn’t like the book – in fact, because I loved it so much, I’m not going to spoil anything, so it’s as much of a surprise for you when you read it as it was for me. ![]()

Even that is different from five years ago-five years ago if you were at a triple-A game studio, you would get in trouble for even voicing an opinion on a new game that just came out and has nothing to do with your studio. I think that's changing a little bit Twitter has helped, with developers sharing personal opinions on things. I think there's that widespread sentiment that game developers need to be quiet unless they're talking on-message. To their credit, though, I've found that companies like EA (with BioWare) and Sony are just super willing to be candid, which I was impressed by. ![]() Also these game publishers are so conservative and corporate and protective.
