Senior Columnist

Marco Reber

Berlin based, Marco Reber writes in English and German about how online entertainment works under the hood — the rate math, the economy loops, the structure of a battle pass once you stop staring at the cosmetics, the way a live-streaming app tunes its gift catalog. He has a soft spot for long-running games and the kind of release notes that read like a balance-patch novel. His VGTopup column handles systems-focused pieces and DACH-region coverage, including the legal-and-regulatory wrinkles that come with German rules around digital goods.
