My note for Shoe: I’d like to thank my boss and colleague of the last two-and-a-half years, Dan “Shoe” Hsu, who is leaving his post as editor-in-chief of GamesBeat today. Shoe really helped us grow as an organization and was a Pied Piper who brought a lot of writing and editing talent to our young organization. Shoe helped put GamesBeat on the map. He did so much that we’ll probably replace him with a couple of people. Shoe also taught a lot to me and Jason Wilson, his deputy and our current managing editor. GamesBeat is a stronger organization than it was when he joined it. And if you look around the ultra-competitive media business now, you’ll see that is no small accomplishment. We plan to carry on that work. He was fun to be around and always polite, even when he was telling somebody something they didn’t want to hear. His diplomatic and friendly style won him lots of friends in the game industry. And he inspired a lot of young people to go into game journalism through Bitmob, which VentureBeat acquired when it hired Shoe, and in its current format, GamesBeat Unfiltered. It is the place where an aspiring writer can get a foot in the door. He isn’t going far, but he’s leaving game journalism. And that’s our loss. Good luck to Shoe. Here’s to new beginnings. venturebeat/2014/10/03/the-deanbeat-seattle-makes-its-move-to-become-the-capital-of-virtual-reality-startups/#
