Come say goodbye to RPS guides writer Rebecca Jones

Sad news today, folks. Our excellent guides writer Rebecca is moving on to pastures new. Specifically, pastures that have had the letters and numbers VG247 mown into them, as Rebecca is beginning a new guides journey at our dear sister site starting next week. We wish her all the best in her new adventures, follicking in the fields of Animal Crossing and other console-based delights, although I'll personally be very sad to lose my fellow Zero Escape and Danganronpa liker (the placement of these games in next year's RPS 100 is now in serious trouble, folks, I'm telling ya now). But before we get too deep in the doom and gloom, come and bid her farewell in the comments below.

Rebecca joined the site just as I took over from Graham as RPS' new editor-in-chief two years ago at the start of July 2021, so her departure has struck a particularly poignant chord for me. The site has changed a lot over the last two years, and Rebecca's guides work has allowed us to dive head first into big, complex, always evolving games such as Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Roblox, and The Sims 4 that we'd never really had the expertise or knowledge to do before. Except The Sims, of course, although not so much from a guides perspective. That was all new, and powered by Rebecca's life-long love for Maxis' life-sim series - which she also explored in a features capacity as well by returning to play The Sims 1 in the year of our Horace 2023.

One of the most important pieces of work Rebecca did for RPS was her detailed investigation into how much it costs to play Diablo Immortal - a piece I'm still immensely proud to have published on the site, and which exemplifies how we've tried to approach our guides work ever since, especially when it
