Former Editor Of Game Developer Launches Vertical Slice, A ‘Fearless’ New Trade Publication

As more and more long-established games publications shrink, vanish, or consolidate, an ongoing rise in independent journalism is working hard to keep the fire lit. Today, we’ve got a brand new publication on the block; a trade publication, to be precise. It’s called Vertical Slice , and it’s run by long-time investigative games reporter Chris Kerr. Kerr’s been reporting about games for 15 years, on the trade beat for about 13, and at Game Developer for around 11, concluding as its senior news editor.
