YouTube Land Is Busy, Shareplay Levels Up, and Saber Free From Embracer.
One of these days, I'm going to set out and complete this portion of the newsletter way before its final due date. Of course, that's why I use ClickUp to keep track of all my content projects that are in various states of completion. This isn't an ad for ClickUp or anything, just a reminder to not just myself but, to all of you to try and keep an organization method that you work with.
A lot was going on throughout the creator space and I didn't want to completely bombard you with so much information. But this is the biggest segment I could find. Our next newsletter will start to have more indie gaming content as well, so be on the look out for that and within the website as well.
