Background

About Juice Dickey

Professionally, I deal with gaming communities by asking questions like "What would a player do here?". I went into Community Management because I love asking that question and thinking about how I as a player would want answers communicated back to me. I get to act as an advocate for the community as a whole, and nothing makes me happier.I get to do this every day while working at Digital Extremes - constantly looking at the content we have in game and picking out anything I feel isn't player friendly - be that new players, veterans, or anything in between - and trying to come up with ways we can change it for the better. Managing our communication platforms to make feedback reaching our ears even easier for players. I help facilitate a community that is caring and open to everyone, and I take great pride that players feel safe in the spaces we've created for them.Formerly I was a programmer, which gives me the unique ability to talk the same language as developers as well as the community. Often times a developer explains something in a way your youngest or least technically savvy player will not understand, and I can listen to what they say and translate it into something that makes sense to everyone in the playerbase. I love knowing how our systems work, so when a player wants to know I can explain it to them.I admire the way that games make players feel, and the emotions they inspire. I have always wanted to be a part of creating those emotions for others. I have had the opportunity to do that both at Robot Entertainment, the Corporate Esports Association, and Digital Extremes and I want nothing more than to keep doing so in my career.
