About Kurtis Seid

Kurtis Seid has been covering the game industry for over a decade. His published works have appeared on GameSpot, EGM, and App Annie. He also was a former editor for Electronic Arts' Origin platform.

Author Details

Kurtis Seid is a guide writer for Screenrant. His interest in gaming goes beyond video games, ranging from board games, card games, word puzzles, social deduction games, and physical contests. When at home he cooks most of his own meals to save time, money, portion size, and carefully control the flavor. 

Industry Focus

Kurtis mostly writes about ongoing live service games - either MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV or continually supported and updated ones like The Sims 4. This gives him extensive knowledge of a game's history as patches can change fundamental game mechanics, secrets, and community insights. It also means that a classic game could always need new guides.

Favorite Media

Kurtis' favorite genre of video games is RPGs, beginning after a few long sessions with Chrono Trigger. While turn based games are classic, he has also expanded into action RPGs like Dark Souls, The Witcher, and Tales series. Close quarters medieval combat additionally made him curious about For Honor and Chivalry 2.
