Zero experience writing fiction, let alone writing fiction for entertainment projects.

Oh. I wasn't aware you had such insider knowledge. Clearly SSM had a reason for hiring her. Just because someone isn't published doesn't mean they can't write.

Video games are in between comic books and B-Movies in terms of being a serious artistic medium.

Game writer? Huh, but she was a games journalist, they are two different things. I can't see that going too well unless it's a PR job.

Sounds like shes excited though so Im happy for her.

She could be just writing descriptions for skills or background lore or literally anything that isnt the main story.

Or she could be writing the actual main story and do a good job. Anthony Burch wrote a YouTube series and Borderlands 2 is beloved for its story.

I hear her name thrown around a bit, but I genuinely have no clue who she is or what she is famous for. Like I gather from here she's a journalist, but what makes her noteworthy in that field?

Anthony Burch's writing was shit on and he hasn't done anything since, though

She's a gaming pundit/ influencer with a following. She covered games for IGN. I don't really know her outside of appearing on TB's podcast, though.

Seems like a case of "who you know not what you know"

Writing for ign definitely not in the same league as AAA game writing
The majority of games, triple A or not, have atrocious writing and to become a journalist in the first place (even for gaming) you need some minor skills with words. So it's not like there's a high bar for her to reach.
