PixelPact Network launches: a new platform for game media creators in the Netherlands

Amersfoort, The Netherlands – Today marks the official launch of PixelPact Network, an innovative initiative designed to support and connect game media creators — from aspiring game journalists to bloggers, podcasters, and streamers. PixelPact is not a traditional publisher or school, but a community and knowledge hub where collaboration, education, and visibility come together.

What is PixelPact?

PixelPact serves as a platform where individual creators and existing groups can connect. The goal: to build a stronger, more creative, and future-proof game media landscape in the Netherlands.

“PixelPact aims to create a network between individual voices and existing groups, so that together we can build a stronger and more sustainable game media landscape,” says founder Sander Mebus.

Added value for (aspiring) game media creators

  • Community & collaboration – find peers, exchange feedback, share formats, and start joint projects.
  • Practical support – checklists, pitching tips, and visibility tools help creators get noticed.
  • Tailored education – free courses, fully in Dutch and designed specifically for the practice of aspiring game media creators in the Netherlands.

Uniqueness of the free courses

  • Introductory Course in Game Journalism (10 + 1 modules) – covering reviews, news, interviews, investigative journalism, SEO, and AI.
  • Short courses – standalone modules on topics such as marketing, streaming, storytelling, and podcasting.
  • Free access + digital badges – no diplomas, but digital badges as proof of completion.
  • Dutch-language and practice-oriented – directly applicable in the day-to-day work of creators.
“With PixelPact, I want to inspire others to find and share their voice. This network is for everyone who doesn’t just want to play games, but also analyze, investigate, and tell stories about them,” Mebus adds.

Job opportunities in game media

PixelPact goes beyond education and community. The network also collects current job opportunities and open calls from Dutch game websites looking for new contributors.

On the PixelPact website, interested creators will find a dedicated Job Board, where opportunities are listed in one place. This allows aspiring game journalists and creators not only to learn, but also to grow into real-world experience.

Call to creators

PixelPact invites everyone in the Netherlands who writes, podcasts, blogs, or streams about games to join the community. Start today with the free courses, explore the job board, and take your content to the next level.
