Aftermath kicks off its annual Inside Baseball Week, a niche exploration of behind-the-scenes industry topics, this time rebranded for the fall season.

Aftermath’s rebranding of its annual Inside Baseball Week to autumn reflects a shift in editorial timing tied to evolving seasonal programming, with prior iterations held in spring. The event’s expanded scope now includes topics like live-service game management, AI pitch critiques, and the realities of games media work—areas often overlooked by mainstream outlets. This year’s inclusion of “poop” as a thematic element, referenced through contributor Riley, underscores the publication’s commitment to irreverent, granular industry insights. The simultaneous subscription drive, offering 25% off annual memberships, highlights the financial sustainability model underpinning such niche content.
