Sarah Lin

Corporate Watchdog & Business Analyst

Sarah transitioned into gaming journalism after working as a junior financial analyst at a tech venture capital firm. She approaches gaming through the cold lens of economics, corporate strategy, and labor laws. She is the journalist who reads the 200-page quarterly SEC filings of Tencent, Microsoft, and Sony so everyday readers don't have to. Sarah focuses heavily on the structural health of the industry—investigating studio acquisitions, explaining the hidden math behind subscription shifts like Game Pass, and writing investigative pieces on publisher layoffs and labor organization.
