I'm not in the video game industry at all.
I'm just a huge video game fan and have had some great (lucky) opportunities to meet people that actually make videogames, art and music. Got to meet a ton of people at things like Comic-Con & BlizzCon (Blizzard, IGN, Video Games Live, Naughty Dog, etc.) and they're universally awesome people who love their fans.
Like that "The Last of Us: One Night Live event". We managed to get tickets when they were up on their website for a few minutes - I think I posted the link on the forums when I saw it. We see and chat with the Naughty Dog guys at Comic-Con and next thing you know we're having drinks with Neil Druckmann, Troy Baker, Geoff Keighley, Ashley Johnson, Gustavo Santaolalla and a ton of people at Naughty Dog.
I've been really lucky and I'm thankful for the opportunities. Everybody we've ever met in the games industry has been really generous with their time even just to chat about their work. It would be even more fun to be a gamer if I lived in southern California though.
