Supremacy Software is the world' s largest video-game developer and publisher. If you' ve played games, you' ve played one of theirs at some point. They' re the shining light, a dream job for many aspiring game developers. Who Hunts the Whale? tells the story of a newly hired PA taking a seat in the executive boardroom. An out-of-towner who risked it all to come to the big city and live her dream of working for a company she' s idolised for years. But she soon discovers the cynical side of things. Stolen ideas, long hours, managerial impropriety - will she risk her ideal career and take a stand for those who dare not speak, or keep quiet in the face of a powerful, litigious corporation? Written by industry insider Laura Kate Dale and (small ' g' ) gamer Jane Aerith Magnet, Who Hunts the Whale? takes a witty, satirical look at the human cost of a rapacious market that must constantly be fed new content.
Laura Kate Dale has spent the last decade as a full-time writer across a number of different creative industries. She has worked as a video-game critic, an accessibility and representation advocate, an LGBT activist and a professional fictional butt reviewer. When she' s not writing satirical fiction with her wife Jane, she splits her time between podcasting, playing board games and collecting far too many Shiny variant Pokemon. @LaurakBuzzJane Aerith Magnet is a former stand-up comedian who now writes board-game reviews as a means to justify an obscene and growing collection. She has been a cleaner, an accountant, a fast-food worker, a sex worker, an in-patient and a highly depressed retail store manager, and was mistaken for a boy for the first 30 years of her life. She co-hosts the podcast Queer & Pleasant Strangers with her wife Laura and produces music under the name Bedroom Programmer. @ManiacJaneiac / @StonedMonkeyRadio
