Someone who routinely stops to pick up old tech he finds on the side of the road is a natural for covering gadgets. Throw in a love for refurbishing old pinball machines and arcade cabinets and you have a great fit for someone whose beat includes tech and video games.
Meet our new games-gadgets writer, Stephen Kleckner.
Stephen has been writing about video games since 1997. He’s been a regular contributor to GamesBeat since 2013, covering indie games, fighting games, controllers, and consoles (among other things!). He also has a background as an artist and a game developer — got news about a game engine? Want to talk about fighting games? Pitch Stephen.
He’ll also be covering gadgets for VentureBeat, focusing on Android mobile devices, laptops, “smart” devices, and any ol’ random piece of tech that hits his desk.
