Senior Editor
Sean is a senior editor at The Verge, a very good website he helped found in 2011. He thrives at the intersection of gaming, technology, and toys, with a side of consumer advocacy because companies just can't help themselves, can they?
Sean previously led breaking news teams at The Verge and CNET and the reviews program at Gizmodo. He also has that voice.
Ethics statement, June 2023: Sean's wife is employed by Apple as a video producer. He therefore does not currently report or edit stories about Apple products or Apple as a company.

I’m not saying you should go crowdfund a Bionic Bird X-Fly, as you’ll hear in my hands-on video below. I’m just saying that biomimetic ornithopters are surprisingly fun — and way less disruptive than your typical whiny quad-propeller drone!
They published gems like Slay the Spire, Signalis and Void Bastards, just released Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus, and were set to publish Monaco II — here’s a full list of games.
