About David W. Duffy

David W. Duffy is TheGamer's resident database editor, SEO optimiser, and staff quiz final boss.

Formerly of Freaks4U Gaming and Webedia, he's edited everything from games and esports writing to scientific research that could help people colonise Mars.

Industry Focus

Having been on the frontlines of editorial, marketing, and community in everything from esports to evergreen, I've stepped behind the scenes to support TheGamer's awesome team of writers in delivering the best content around.

Favorite Games

RPGs are my jam, with Final Fantasy (any) and Golden Sun among my go-tos. I dabble in RPG Maker and love discovering other creations, while other favourites include No Man's Sky, Citizen Sleeper, and classic arcade golf games.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

I've had the privilege of attending some of the grandest events and working with some of the biggest names in esports, both in community and editorial roles.

These include the League of Legends World Championship, ESL One Katowice, PUBG Global Invitational Berlin, Red Bull Kumite, and Capcom Pro Tour Europe Finals, while orgs I've worked with include powerhouses such as Team Liquid and G2 Esports.
