Out of curiosity, as someone in marketing, how much do you get to do with regards to the game design themselves, or playing them while they are under development?
Also, I know it's a bit of a tangent, but you've studied finance, and ended up in marketing? How relevant was the financing knowledge?
As for games, for me it's MOBAs, old-style Quests (The old Sierra and Lucas Art games), CCGs, etc. I really love Journey, Nuclear Throne, and others.
By the by, my first console was the big grey Gameboy brick too. My grandparents gifted it to me around 1995. I met with them last weekend and mentioned to them that it's still working! It's in my drawer, next to my gameboy colour and gameboy advance SP :D
