Steve joined Screen Digest's Games department in 2008, specialising in the burgeoning online PC gaming market ever since. His work for Games encompasses MMOGs, virtual worlds, online console, and casual, browser-based and social gaming, in the context of Screen Digest reports, consultancy for major international clients and general Games Intelligence service work. These have centred largely on subscription and microtransaction markets in the western world, with further ongoing interest in such emerging gaming sectors as lifestyle management, 3D, social media and motion gaming.
Upon joining Screen Digest, Steve left behind an accomplished career in games journalism which took in a variety of magazine roles including editorship of a TV-based games portal. Most notably Steve lent his distinctive voice to influential games periodical Edge as a freelance writer, and over the six years of his writing career outputted several thousand published pages of video game content within the specialist press. Prior to this, Steve attended Cardiff University, completing a Ph.D. in Mathematics, with an emphasis on numerical analysis and multivariate calculus.
