[Submission] Not shit: Scared to open the package: adventures in game writer bribery

I’ve had a couple of submissions about this. It’s an interesting article, to be sure. Reader-submitted content follows:

Keep your eyes peeled for a cameo of Jim Sterling posing happily with his ill-gotten spoilers.
