Press Reset: Ruin and Recovery in the Video Game Industry is an investigative nonfiction book by video game journalist Jason Schreier, published in 2021. Drawing on interviews with developers and other industry participants, it examines what happens after celebrated game studios close, reorganize, or shed large portions of their staff. Rather than treating a successful release as proof of a healthy workplace, Schreier follows the unstable business conditions behind acclaimed projects and the careers disrupted when companies such as Irrational Games, Junction Point, Visceral Games, and 38 Studios faltered. The book combines reporting on corporate decisions, changing commercial models, and workplace practices with attention to the practical consequences for individual workers. Its purpose is not to provide a history of games or a technical account of development. It investigates an opaque labor market in which creative achievement, commercial performance, and job security often fail to align. The result is a critical account of an industry built around hit products but sustained by people who frequently absorb its financial and managerial risks.
